I remember receiving the promo and press kit for Elvis Costello’s debut LP, My Aim Is True. It was 1977, and Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and AC/DC were all over the airwaves. New Wave and Punk acts dominated a lot of rock press, but out of the whole batch of new faces, Elvis Costello stood out as a Renaissance guy, and over the decades, he’s produced some classic albums and written a handful of modern standards. This edition of Air-Conditioned shines some love light on a handful of tracks from his first albums. The Clash and The English Beat also receive a little extra shine, and rounding out the program, I’ve gathered up some great numbers by Joe Jackson, Nick Lowe, The Pretenders, Squeeze, The Jam, The Police, Dave Edmunds and Hoodoo Gurus. It’s a snappy little collection guaranteed to have your toes tapping.

Sooooo …. You may ask, “Where can I hear this?” Well, click the link, and it’ll take you to the Air-Conditioned webpage, where the latest and a handful of recent episodes can be streamed anytime. Remember, this episode is available at 9AM CST, Friday, September 20th. If you use this link before this show’s airing, you will get last week’s show, which was actually pretty good, too. As always, thanks for listening and the good feedback.
