"I'm not of a mind to record anymore...There's no point.In terms of recorded music, the pact's been broken - the personal connection between the artist and the listener. MP3 has dismantled the intended shape of an album.And then everything is leaked, everything is stolen.So I play live, it happens in the moment.If I do a new song, I might never play it again, andif you're not thereyou fuckin' miss it..."
- Elvis Costello, MOJO magazine (November 2007 issue)
"I don't have much interest or burning need, if you will, to record... If I had to choose between recording and concerts, I'll take the live adventure."
"I'm through with making albums.I just don't need it anymore.What's the point of making an album with the songs in a specific order, when anyone with an mp3 player can re-set the track order? When I'm doing a concert, people will actually have to listen to the songs in whichever order I put them.In the future, I"ll probably just stick to performing my songs in live shows."
