Pluribus Gergely<\/strong> has begun his summertime Rock Town Hall duties, which include monitoring the films of <strong>Al Pacino<\/strong>; giving grief to the likes of <strong>Hrrundivbakshi<\/strong>, <strong>BigSteve<\/strong>, and yours truly; and pooh-poohing the collected works of <strong>Elvis Costello<\/strong>, <strong>Lou Reed<\/strong> (<em>Mistrial<\/em> excepted), and other high school favorites post-1983. Some of what my man Gergs will say in the coming weeks will hurt. In some cases it will be the pain of a cowardly stab in the back; in other cases, the pain you feel will be the result of his occasionally piercing insight. Wherever the pain registers for you, I encourage you to take it like a Townsperson and give it back to the man as you see fit.<\/p>\n<p>To help EPG re-establish his footing in the Halls of Rock, I feel compelled to SUMMON him to comment on the following tracks from Elvis Costello&#8217;s new album, the one with some overblown title and produced by <strong>T-Bone Burnett<\/strong>. I have not yet heard these songs myself. Maybe these will be initial spins for you as well. Don&#8217;t put all the burden on E. Pluribus to comment, and please be candid when you share. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/ElvisCostello_DownAmongtheWinesandSpirits.mp3\" title=\"\">Elvis Costello, &#8220;Down Among the Wine and Spirits&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/ElvisCostello_ComplicatedShadows.mp3\" title=\"\">Elvis Costello, &#8220;Complicated Shadows&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/ElvisCostello_IDreamedofMyOldLover.mp3\" title=\"\">Elvis Costello, &#8220;I Dreamed of My Old Lover&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>I look forward to your comments!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Townsman E.
