Elvis and Elton Create a Spectacle


One of my favourite musician’s that has not received a lot of coverage on “Everything is Pop” is Elvis Costello. Now this hardly seems fair considering the fact that he is practically a Canadian now (he lives on Vancouver Island with spouse Diana Krall and baby twins Dexter and Frank):

Seems Big E is doing a series on CTV. It's a talk show of sorts, co-produced by this other English fellow named Elton John. The selection of Costello as host isn’t entirely surprising when one considers his renown as an astute musicologist, and a very successful guest-hosting stint on the Late Show in 2003. Tentatively titled "Spectacle" (methinks Elton may have played a big role in naming of that one), the show will feature all variety of guests, for performance and in-depth chat.

James Lipton may be safe for now but I don’t think it'll be long before the bespectacled, undisputed King of New Wave will be giving him a run for his money.
