ElvisCostello.com The official website ElvisCostello.com has been revamped. Random Quote: "I'm often told that my work isn't emotional, that it's an intellectual exercise, jumping from style to style for its own sake.But of course it all comes from emotion, so maybe it's something lacking in the listener to not hear that. It really isn't some big jigsaw puzzle that needs to be explained. It's too much effort to do these things just for effect."
