Costello & The Imposters pump it up as Summerfest prepares to tear down
Elvis Costello and the Imposters headlined the M&I Classic Rock on the south end of the grounds Sunday night as Summerfest 2009 came to a close. And Costello clearly took heed of the name of the stage when writing out the exactly two-hour set list.

Unburied treasures: talkbackers share their faves
Love `em or hate `em, CDs have changed a music fan's life. Thousands of records long out of print started to become available again once CDs took hold in the mid-1980s. Listening to a reissue of Elvis Costello's "King of America" reminded me of how my life has improved thanks to having heard some of its secret songs. So, I decided to ask some regular OnMilwaukee.com talkbackers who love music to weigh in with their faves.

Video of the Day: The "Go Away" guarantee
If you haven't seen Elvis Costello's interview / music show "Spectacle" on Sundance Channel, well, let's just say you're missing a lot. This song, performed with Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis on last week's episode, represents the most scorching rock performance we've seen in a long time. If you don't agree, we'll refund your money!

Somewhere in the Quisling Clinic...
Staying in the Edgewater Hotel in Madison meant I regularly walked past the Quisling Clinic, 2 W. Gorham St., made famous by Elvis Costello in his 1979 tune, "Green Shirt," from the "Armed Forces" LP. Well, he made it famous among his fans.
