¿volverá Costello a grabar alguna vez algún lp?
"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, and if you're not there you 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."
