Elvis Costello

Sean O'Hagan

Ποπ & Ροκ, No. 131, May 1989 — Sean O'Hagan interviews Elvis Costello about Spike. (Translated from New Musical Express, February 18, 1989.)

The very week that Rupert Murdoch's Sky channel beams us all into the age of tabloid TV, Elvis Costello unveils his "Satellite," one of 14 new songs collectively entitled Spike. Perfect timing.

Oh, good. Today, dear reader, I am your bridge to the weird and frightening world of Elvis Costello aka "Spike" aka "The Beloved Entertainer." Neither the artist nor his complicit go-between are too certain of the wisdom of such a pact but, then again, songs as... as labyrinthine as "Satellite" might need some explaining. They are, to quote the man himself, "Big" songs. Too" BIG" too fully succeed perhaps?
