Water All Around

"Water all around...never learn how to swim now." This site is devoted to great alternative music. Like "Swingin' Party" by the Replacements from which the aforementioned lyrics hail. These posts are intended to introduce visitors to bands that I believe deserve greater attention. If you wish to have an MP3 removed, email me at zotzedwriter@yahoo.com.

My Aim Is True

By popular demand (one person constitutes popular demand at the Water All Around blog), here are three tracks from Costello's classic 1977 debut disc, My Aim Is True:

[MP3] Elvis Costello - "Watching the Detectives" EXPIRED
[MP3] Elvis Costello - "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" EXPIRED
[MP3] Elvis Costello - "Waiting for the End of the World" EXPIRED

BONUS
[MP3] Elvis Costello - "Radio Sweetheart"
"Radio Sweetheart" is from the remastered 1993 Rykodisc release of My Aim Is True. It represents the first "professional recording" (his words) of Costello. It was released by Stiff Records as Costello's first single, though it was left off My Aim Is True "due to a difference in sound."

Watching the Detectives - a true classic. I bought the album at Tower Records(RIP)that summer of 1977 and became a fan. Mystery Dance spoke to me, as I'm sure it did to many. The 2 and 1/2 Years box set is awesome. The "pre-professional" recording of Mystery Dance on the My Aim Is True CD (track 17) as well as the live version that starts the El Mocambo set are well worth seeking out.

Thanks, Dexter. I think I have the El Mocambo set on a cassette somewheres. I'll have to dig it up.
