My Aim Is True is the 1977 debut album by Elvis Costello, marking the arrival of one of rock's sharpest songwriters. Blending elements of punk, new wave, and pub rock, the album delivers a raw yet sophisticated sound, filled with biting lyrics and infectious melodies. Backed by the American band Clover (before forming his own group, The Attractions), Costello crafts anthems of love, anger, and rebellion with tracks like Alison, Watching the Detectives, and Less Than Zero. With its nervy energy and literate songwriting, My Aim Is True set the stage for Costello's prolific and influential career.Listen to the album on Apple Music Listen to the album on SpotifyWhat did you think of this album?

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Eric Kohn. Eric is the Director of Marketing & Communications at the Acton Institute. Check him out on Twitter at @iEricKohn.Eric's Music Pick: Huey Lewis & the NewsDo you believe in miracles? Yes! After years of lobbying, Jeff has proven that anyone will fold, given enough time and pressure. Here is the Huey Lewis & the News episode of Political Beats.Those of you with us for a while will know that the band is a favorite of Scot's while Jeff previously has taken any opportunity to vow never to cover Huey and the boys on the show. Well, recently he had a change of heart (Track One, Picture This) and we wasted no time in finding a guest. Did we end up talking for three hours about Huey Lewis & the News? Of course we did. Did we change Jeff's mind? Listen and find out.Scot's love of the band started at a young age, and much of his knowledge of the early story of the band's history comes from a mass-market paperback that he still has to this day. Huey Lewis & the News: A Biography is a 142-page chronicle of the rise of the band and its origins on the San Francisco music scene. It's out of print, obviously, but check your local used bookstore for a copy.Huey Lewis & the News essentially was the merger of two big local Bay area bands -- Clover and Soundhole. Huey and keyboardist Sean Hopper played in the former, while drummer Bill Gibson, saxophonist/guitarist Johnny Colla, and bassist Mario Cipollina in the latter. Clover (sans Huey) were perhaps best known for being Elvis Costello's back-up band on My Aim Is True. The band then picked up a 21-year-old kid in 1979, Chris Hayes, to play lead guitar and were off. The next year, 1980, brought the little-noticed self-titled debut. Here's the thing: It's quite good! This album, and the early sound of the band, is the commercial follow-through on the wonderful music made by the pub rock artists of the U.K. This record is heavier on Mario's bass than later entries, but those trademark backing vocals are there from the start. It didn't sell. At all. The next album would be make or break. Huey's face alone is on the cover. Harmonies are tighter. Little did they know they had an ace in the hole: a song written by Mutt Lange. "Do You Believe in Love" would explode to #7 on the charts. The band had a hit. A follow-up would be tougher. Three other singles from Picture This failed to break #36, though one, “Workin' for a Livin',” has endured as a blue-collar anthem.The band went back to work with a taste of success and a thirst for more. The mission for the next album was simple: every song a hit. Easy, right? With Sports, they pretty much pulled it off. You know virtually every song on this album, including “I Want a New Drug,” “The Heart of Rock and Roll,” “If This Is It,” and more. There was no thematic goal other than producing hits. Synths, drum machines, massive hooks -- whatever it took. Outside writers? Sure! A strength of the band was taking other's material and making it sound like their own, as they did on “Heart and Soul” and “Walking On a Thin Line.”Sports was a monster. Massive headlining tours followed. Two major projects before the next album would drop. First, Huey would take a lead vocal spot in "We Are the World,” filling in for Prince. Second, some work on a little film called Back to the Future and the band's first #1 hit in “The Power of Love.”Huey Lewis & the News is on top of the world. But 1986 is approaching and a new album is due soon. One problem: No one hears a single. One of the engineers calls up Chris Hayes at home and says, "Chris, we need a hit.""Stuck With You" was what he came up with, and it was the lead single for Fore!, which would also hit #1 & sell 3 million+ copies. That said, Fore! is a bit of an odd duck. Fully half the songs were from outside writers, including the album's other #1 single, “Jacob's Ladder” (written by the Hornsby brothers)Next? Well, whatever the band wanted. And what they wanted was not necessarily commercial in nature. A socially conscious effort full of eclectic musical themes, Small World. As far as I've read, the band loves this album. They got to stretch their legs as musicians. They had earned the right to make a project of their choosing. The record-buying public was not impressed. Small World barely scraped 1 million units in sales.  The band did have one last bullet to fire at the charts. “Perfect World,” a song written by Alex Call, a former Clover bandmate of Huey and Sean, hit #3 and clearly sits aside their best.Afterward, the band had some well-earned time off. In the time span, though, the rock world was changing quickly. Huey & company dropped the weirdness of the last album and returned to the blueprint -- rock, R&B, a love song, and a tune by Mutt Lange. All on Hard At Play. There would not be another album of new material for ten years. Four Chords and Several Years Ago, an album of 50s-era covers, came in 1994.Plan B, an album of new material, arrived in 2001, followed by Soulsville, a Stax covers album, and finally 2020's Weather. The last record was released following Huey's diagnosis of Ménière's disease, an inner-ear disorder, which means he can no longer hear music frequencies or hold vocal pitches. The result is no touring and no more new music from the band. It's sometimes hard to hear Huey Lewis & the News on the radio. Living on that weird line between rock and pop in the 1980s means there's not a great format for those songs now. It's a catalog well worth further inspection, though. You won't regret spending three hours with us and the band.

Welcome to Frizz and Bob's working week as we dive head-first into a bottle of Talisker 10 and Elvis Costello's debut album My Aim is True. We check a new artist off of Frizz's list of musical blind spots, find out that Elvis Costello is a secret lemonade drinker, dissect his famously pointed and descriptive lyrics, and reveal the real magic behind one of Costello's best albums.

Yo!This was one for the ages.Having being fortunate enough to be invited up to Sk8bar in St. Joe, I gladly accepted and -- while there -- was able to connect with Danny "Dr. 47" Phillips to record Episode # 75 of Badass Records podcast.Such a challenge. So much fun. So worth it.Seriously.I didn't know how I would attempt to make myself comfortable in someone else's space. I didn't know if I'd know how to set up all of the gear once I'd taken it apart for the first time, and I didn't know how I'd do (at all) attempting to conduct an interview beneath all of those details.But, alas...the stress and the anxiety were completely unwarranted.Brandon and Jesse welcomed me into their home away from home, and Danny was a gracious host/guest.He was every bit of (unsolicited) awesome as advertised, and was quick to quell the worries of my brain that a booker/promoter for a live-music venue would feel too busy to be participating in an interview for a podcast.And, the chat was -- in my mind -- perfect.We talked a little bit about the ol' life thing. The work thing. The...just...you know...doin' it thing. And of course we talked about a few of Danny's favorite records.He gave me a substantial list, and -- for shits and giggles -- I broke it in half.Here's what that looked like:List A:Sticky Fingers (1971), The Rolling StonesFleetwood Mac's Rumours (1977)Outlandos d'Amour (1978), The PoliceThe Lemonheads's It's a Shame About Ray (1992)Siamese Dream (1993), Smashing PumpkinsNirvana's In Utero (1993)A.M. (1995), WilcoList B:At Folsom Prison (1968), Johnny CashBig Star's #1 Record (1972)My Aim Is True (1977), Elvis CostelloThe Ramones's Rocket to Russia (1977)Last Splash (1993), The BreedersBad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction (1994)In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998), Neutral Milk HotelIf you want to get a hold of Danny for band-booking purposes, here are what I believe to be the best ways:1) Contact Sk8bar -- either via the landline (after 5:00 p.m. Central) at 816-689-0507 or via Facebook.2) Holler at Danny either via his Instagram or his Facebook page.3) You can also find him on Twitter, if you please, but, I digress...My chat with Dr. 47 was fantastic. Please consider giving it a view or a listen. Please check out Sk8bar, and please check out the Merch' store on the podcast's Web site. Even a sticker purchase helps.Anyhoo...as Jamal a.k.a. Jamel says, "Be kind, be good to each other, and help keep great music alive."At least that's what I think he says.Thanks for stopping by.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the promo or the intro/outro audio.

This is why we keep Joe Lavelle around. Not because he's a good friend, or a swell fella, or a funny guy, or even because he's got great taste in music. Although all of these things are true, we love having Joe on the pod for his exquisite brain, the thing that came up with Top Ten Easter Egg Album Titles. These are those sneaky albums that get their title from the lyrics in one of the songs on the album. Join us in Part 2 as we count down picks 5 through 1 and once again walk that fine line of Obvious But Awesome vs Rare Stuff You Need To Hear, which our man Joe is especially adept at.

An overnight success after seven years of plugging away on the London pub-rock circuit, Declan Patrick McManus took on the nom de plume Elvis Costello as a pop-art statement of intent. My Aim Is True was recorded in 1977 six separate four-hour sessions with an all-American session band who would go on to be The News alongside Huey Lewis. Too angry to be new wave - and too clever to be truly punk - My Aim Is True is generally considered to be one of the greatest debut albums of all time. My Aim Is True is also #430 on the Rolling Stones magazine list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which means Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd have done a deep dive on it. Featuring hot takes on everything from Lost In Translation to Elvis' Dad Sings Elvis and Costello's infamous racist tirade, as well as Secret Posho and YouTube Comment of the Week. All that and more on this week's Enjoy An Album!

22 July 2022 is the 45th anniversary of Elvis Costello's acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True. Married father-of-one, Declan MacManus, was a computer operator from London and a prolific aspiring songwriter. Signed to Stiff Records, MacManus cut his first professional album at Pathway Studios, backed by Clover and produced by Nick Lowe. He never looked back. In this special episode to mark 45 years of My Aim Is True, I'm joined by author, TV presenter and radio host, Richard Crouse. A lifelong Costello fan, Richard wrote the definitive book about EC's debut album, Elvis is King, Costello's My Aim Is True. We discuss the impact of the record, its place in the Costello canon and we go through the album track-by track.

Way back in 1977 Elvis Costello released his debut album. 13 years later, I was born. 20-something years later I was introduced to said album and determined it was one of the greatest things I'd ever heard, from a songwriting, compositional, really every standpoint. Does Mike have an appreciation for this kind of old-fashioned rock and roll? Does it baffle him as a temporal anomaly, existing across many generations of genres while sounding clean as heck? Will he be able to analyze at least one song that is plainly just about bangin'?

Special thanks goes out to the legendary Vanessa Briscoe Hay of Pylon for this topic idea. When Vanessa was on our show during Season 2, she mentioned that Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True was like comfort food, like mac & cheese, an album that she could come back to time and time again and it just feels...right.   So, in this episode, we boil the noodles, mix in the bright orange powder, add milk and butter, stir and consume our comfort albums of the O3L era. OK, that may be taking the mac & cheese analogy a touch too far.   The Lads get in touch with their feelings, and maybe get a little *too* comfortable sharing stories from their past. But what else would you expect from your favorite criminal mastermind duo?!?   Get comfy and snuggle up with O3L!   #musicpodcast #musicpocasts #newwave #punkrock #alternativerock #1stwave #80smusic #90smusic #comfortalbums

Elvis Costello burst onto the music scene in 1977 with the album My Aim Is True. Songs like “Alison” established him as a powerful new voice in rock. His next album, This Year's Model, introduced hits like “Pump it Up,” which has resounded through stadiums and arenas across the country ever since.  From then on he released album after album, decade after decade, becoming a force to be reckoned with in pop music. Now, Costello has released his 32nd studio album, The Boy Named If, and it's a kaleidoscopic journey through many of the sounds and styles that he's experimented with over the years. We spoke with Elvis about his wrong notes and open-ended lyrics, his much-publicized defense of Olivia Rodrigo, and why he turned down working with Adele Songs Discussed: Elvis Costello - Farewell, OK, Magnificent Hurt, Alison, Pump It Up Richie Barrett - Some Other Guy Olivia Rodrigo - Brutal Chuck Berry - Too Much Monkey Business Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues Learn more about your ad choices.

«My Aim Is True» heisst sein Debut von 1977. Auch vier Jahrzehnte später ist es das Ziel des Liverpooler Songwriters Declan Patrick MacManus (so heisst Elvis mit richtigem Namen), sich und uns nicht zu langweilen. Sein neues Album «Hey Clockface» ist quasi eine Hommage an sich selbst. Costellos musikalisches Spektrum war immer riesig, von Punk bis Soul, von Country bis Jazz, alles hatte Platz. Diesmal gibt es eine Reise durch fast all seine stilistischen Vorlieben. Aufgenommen hat er die neue Platte mit verschiedenen Formationen in Helsinki, Paris und New York. Keine Spur von Müdigkeit.

Scot and Jeff discuss Elvis Costello (Part 1, from My Aim Is True through to Goodbye Cruel World) with Anthony Fisher. Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Anthony Fisher. Anthony is the politics editor for Insider and Business Insider and a producer/co-conspirator for (what has apparently now become Political Beats' informal sister podcast) The Fifth Column. You can find him on Twitter at @anthonyLfisher. Anthony's Music Pick: Elvis Costello This week the gang covers the early adventures of Declan Patrick (Aloysius) MacManus, known to the world as Elvis Costello. All three of them are massive EC fans of long-standing, but they each have rather nuanced takes on this early period where he garnered his greatest critical (though not commercial, ironically enough) success. Behold, as Jeff claims the blowback from the Ray Charles Incident was justified “instant karma”! Behold, as Scot perversely argues that Imperial Bedroom is overrated! Behold, as Anthony dismisses “Pump It Up”! Behold, as all three of the gang wish the Attractions had played on My Aim Is True! If you're already a fan of Elvis Costello, then not only do these references make sense to you, hey: you're already listening. If for some reason you're not, let us take the time to explain to you why Britain's most literate and craftsmanlike songwriter of the past 45 years combined with one of its most explosive backing bands to produce an album catalogue that no music-lover can afford to be ignorant of. Oh, we just don't know where to begin.

Scot and Jeff discuss Elvis Costello (Part 1, from My Aim Is True through to Goodbye Cruel World) with Anthony Fisher.

B-b-b-back again with more music talk! Laurin and Old Man Junkins are hanging out this fine October Thursday to talk about an influential yet not super crazy famous musician known as Elvis Costello. Dan hit a revelation whilst tripping major balls and listening to the album My Aim is True and has graciously shared his thoughts to the world (now it's your turn to abduct them and do what you will).

In a special edition of Mastertapes to celebrate National Album Day, Elvis Costello, the consummate album artist talks to John Wilson and plays his way back through a career that has spanned five decades, premiers exclusive tracks from his new album and takes questions from the audience. From his critically acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True, released in 1977 to his newly released Look Now, his first new album in five years, Elvis Costello has been widely recognised as one of Britain's best songwriters. From early classics like Watching The Detectives, Accidents Will Happen, and Almost Blue, all the way through to Jimmie Standing In The Rain, Unwanted Number and Under Lime his talent for wordplay has remained undimmed. He remains a composer who works across a range of styles, always mining a deep, rich seam of melodic and harmonic treasures - all of which is on display in these programmes recorded in the iconic BBC studios at Maida Vale. Accompanying him is his career-long collaborator, pianist Steve Nieve.

Cette semaine, Mathieu, Léa et Étienne ont un giga coup de coeur pour le nouvel album de Young Fathers. Beaucoup d'amour est aussi transmis à My Aim Is True, premier long jeu d'Elvis Costello qui sert d'album culte dans cet épisode et fait une seconde critique, cette fois pour George Fitzgerald et son disque All That Must Be. Sinon, beaucoup de découvertes comme à l'habitude avec, entre autres, Saltwater Sun, Alessandro Ciminata et PBSR.

Fuck Valentine's Day. This episode, the dudes dig-up the angst and discomfort associated with all things “lovey-dovey” as we discuss Nick Hornby's “High Fidelity” and perform Elvis Costello's “I'm Not Angry” off of his album “My Aim Is True.” We also dive into our very first stout, the all too scrumptious Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, as we review our “Top 5” debut books and albums lists. Join us for a light (and sometimes heavy) discussion about love, music, and how to not be an asshole, or at least be less of one. Cheers! *BONUS: Also enjoy an outtake of Nick Gregorio's attempt at a social media pitch whilst Daniel DeFranco gobbles popcorn. Hilarity guaranteed.

This week, Patrick has us explore the debut album of the critically acclaimed and honorary punk, Elvis Costello, with "My Aim Is True". Are the guys hep enough for this album? Listen in and find out!

Elvis takes us back to his childhood and talks about music, his parents, songwriting and recording “My Aim Is True."
