    Default Elvis - Pump It Up!

    Just one of my all time favorites. EC looks so young. The song is just great for when I am feeling lazy or need to get off my butt!

    These guys rock a little too. I have a soft spot for that knees knocking in front of the mic approach.

    EC is one of my all-time favorites.

    The hobby band I'm does a mini-medley with Pump It Up as one of the songs. This is recorded off one of our practice sessions back in April:

    Pump it up is one of the coolest Elvis Costello songs. He had a great band. Just listen to that bass line in that tune. They were really great. I wish I could have seen them back in their heyday.

    I don`t know if you get any programs shown on BBC4 in the States but there was a night dedicated to the Stiff record label on a few weeks back {'If it ain`t Stiff it ain`t worth a f### ' I think it was called , like the T shirt my mum would`nt let me wear } . It just showed what a brilliantly eclectic mix of artists they had back then , you could start a thread on each of them from Nick Lowe , Dr Feelgood , Ian Dury , Madness , The Pogues , Elvis Costello even Tracy Ullman .
    This is one of my all time faves

    For Friday, I am going to pump up this thread. I have been thinking about 1981-82, my first year in college and what I was listening to. It was a year that my taste radically shifted. I had moved from a blue collar longshore/port/pulp mill town to the University of Washington campus in Seattle, and MTV had fired up. Here are a few that caught my ear that year.

    These guys caught my ear before The Stray Cats did.

    These guys were a huge influence for years. I particularly like the early years and albums. "Under a Blood Red Sky" remains an all time favorite album of mine.

    The very early 80's music was quite a bit different than the music a few years later, much of which I also enjoyed. In the next year or so, this little Dublin group became much more popular, the Clash reached a much larger audience, and REM began shifting college alternative into a different sound, plus a lot more. But 80 through about 82 was different. In my eyes and ears anyway.
