Napoleon Dynamite

(No, the other one.) Went to see Elvis Costello at the beautiful Paramount Theater in Oakland Tuesday night with Noelle. Got there a bit late, but caught 75 minutes of a truly fantastic show. EC was playing with Allen Toussaint and The Kansas City Horns (a really great horn section) an organist, bassist, and back up guitarist. The great thing is that his voice is still amazingly good even after all these years. Since they had the horn section they did a lot of rearrangements of his stuff. They did a fabulous ska-d up version of "Watching the Detectives". "Pump It Up" was memorable as was "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror". I haven't seen him in 17 years, since I caught him at Colby College with some high school friends during the Spike tour. I would definitely see him again, based on the show the other night.
