Two archive interviews with singer-songwriter ELVIS COSTELLO. First, we present a conversation from 1989, then we fast forward to an interview recorded earlier this year (1/27/94). In the late 1970s COSTELLO burst out of Britain's pop-music scene as the angry young man with a fresh sound. He's known for making connections between different musical communities. He's collaborated with Paul McCartney, Ruben Blades, Aimee Mann of "'til Tuesday," David Was of "Was (Not Was)," and T. Bone Burnett. Now COSTELLO is back with his original band, "The Attractions," and with producer Nick Lowe. Their latest release is "Brutal Youth," (Warner Bros).
