The same week, Blondie's seminal album Parallel Lines reached #1 on the Album Chart while Costello's Armed Forces landed at #3.

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

Historical records show us the accomplishments of future Congressman Henry Hyde and his team in the 1940s. Professional achievement tells us of the academic rigor and athletic pursuits of the 1960s that helped shape Paul Tagliabue, former Commissioner of the NFL. Trophies, awards and championships are evidence of the success John Thompson Jr. compiled in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. It is the total combination: academic and athletic excellence, focus, dedication and hard work instilled in Hoya teams throughout the last century that built men who would not only conquer the basketball court, but serve their communities.

  • Gore Express Gets Illinois Riders ~
    1 Democratic Party of Illinois) MUR# 1 5/a7 COMPLAINT On behalf of the Republican Party of Illinois, I am filing this complaint pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 0 437(g)(a)( 1) against the Democratic Party of Illinois for the acceptance of prohibited contributions from the State of Illinois. Specifically, the State of Illinois is paying the salary of the Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Illinois, Timothy Mapes. Mr. Mapes also happens to be the Chief of Staff of the Speaker of the House, Michael J. Madigan. Thus, the State of Illinois is paying for Mr. Mapes to be the Democratic Party of Illinois Executive Director. This constitutes a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act. THE FACTS It is commonly known that Timothy Mapes is the Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Yet, in reviewing the reports filed by the Democratic Party of Illinois for the past three years there is only one mention of Timothy Mapes having received a payroll check from the Democratic Party of Illinois. That was in October 1998 in the amount of $2,773.36. (& Attachment 1). We can find no other reference to Timothy Mapes in the 1998, 1999, or 2000 reports of the Democratic Party of Illinois.' I The Democratic Party of Illinois has been very active in this same time frame. In 1998, the Democratic Party of lllinois raised.$l,573,283.74 in hard dollars. In 1999, the Why? Because the State af.Illinois is paying Mr. klapes Salary as the Democratic Party's Executive Director with the consent of House Speaker Michael Madigan.

  • Dave Hartl's 2018 Top Ten (Or So) Most Influential Albums
    Dave Hartl’s 2018 Top Ten (Or So) Most Influential Albums It’s time once again to look back and do that annual tradition of picking out the 10 or so most influential albums I heard in the past year. Not the most popular, or even the best, but what made me think the most as a musician. You can always go to http://www.davehartl.com/top10.html and look at other years’ postings. The links there go all the way back to 1998, when I started this with George Tucker. It’s a way of hearing about great music you might otherwise miss. If you want to contribute, please write to [email protected] with your own list and your contribution will be added to this document online for future downloads. This is why I do this! It always gives me some great recommendations for what to listen to that would be off my radar otherwise. So don’t be shy! Last year, Brian Groder, Jack Loughhead, Dylan Taylor, Bob Kimmel, and Kaz Yoshihara gave me some great things to listen to. The Top 10, in no particular order: 1.) Soft Machine: Hidden Details It is a lonely existence being a Soft Machine freak. I bought their third LP (curiously entitled “Third”) back around 1970, in high school, and lay down for a nap while listening to “Out-Bloody-Rageous”. And I woke up and understood them for the first time. In 1974, they did a quick tour of the U.S. East Coast after releasing their seventh album (curiously entitled “Seven”), an album that I had put on permanent play at the time, prompting rooming-house neighbors to inquire, “Who IS that?” I caught them live at the Main Point Café, in Bryn Mawr one cold night and was surprised to see a guitar on stage, an instrument notable for its absence in their recording output.
