Elvis Costello has retired from making albums. The acclaimed English songwriter, due to visit Australia with his band [[The Imposters]] in April, told The Australian today that the album format had reached "the end of the line" and that his album from last year, ''[[National Ransom]]'', would be his last. | |||
"There are no more albums" said Costello. "That's done now. I think that we've come to the end of the line with albums. There will be new songs and new places to put them and ways to release them, but I don't have a recording contract and I'm not seeking one." | "There are no more albums" said Costello.

"I have a lot of other responsibilities, some of them that aren't anything to do with music," he said. "You can't spend your entire life enjoying yourself in everything you do. You have to choose." | "I have a lot of other responsibilities, some of them that aren't anything to do with music," he said. "You can't spend your entire life enjoying yourself in everything you do.

Aside from his recording career, Costello has become popular in recent years as a television host on his music chat show [[Spectacle]], which screen in Australia on the ABC. However, he doesn't plan to make any more of those either. "Like recording, we could come back to the idea," he said. | Aside from his recording career, Costello has become popular in recent years as a television host on his music chat show ''[[Spectacle]]'', which screen in Australia on the ABC.

Costello has hinted before that he would stop recording (and performing), as long ago as the 1990s, but he has been prolific as a recording artist since then. He's emphatic, however, about ending his affair with albums. | Costello has hinted before that he would stop recording (and performing), as long ago as the 1990s, but he has been prolific as a recording artist since then.
