Happy Birthday Elvis Costello (August 25th)

There are about five things to write songs about: I’m leaving you. You’re leaving me. I want you. You don’t want me. I believe in something. Five subjects, and twelve notes. For all that, we musicians do pretty well.

I love Amanda Palmer and the Dresden Dolls because they’re really upbeat songs but they’re about, like, institutionalization, self-harm, back-alley abortions, sex changes, rape, and dildos

It’s like Lily Allen, but better, on steroids with a nice polka beat
