With his new single "Radio Radio" out this weekend, Elvis is currently putting the finishing touches to his new album, which hopefully will be issued before Christmas. At the end of this month, he and the Attractions leave for Canada, Hawaii, Japan and Australia. They'll be out of the country until mid-December, returning a few days before the start of their London season. | With his new single "Radio, Radio" out this weekend, Elvis is currently putting the finishing touches to his new album, which hopefully will be issued before Christmas.

All you need to know about "Radio, Radio" is that what The Clash did on "Capital Radio" with an abundance of vitality, originality and invigorating well-aimed venom, Elvis Costello does with forced fury, catchy commerciality and his mandatory Angry Little Man whine. Poor old Elvis. When Joe Strummer walked into CBS New York's offices and saw the myopic mug plastered all over the walls, he clutched at his guts and pantomimed retching symptoms. | |||
"I can't stand him," muttered Joe. | |||
Stick with yer gratis Clash EP, kids, to me Costello is in tune with nothing at all. | |||
