Concrete Playground

As far as I’m concerned, there is just nothing sexier than a man in glasses. This is why there are only two musicians in the world for me: Buddy Holly and Elvis Costello. Considering that one is sadly deceased, there can be little confusion as to who I’ll be following around Australia come October this year.

To be fair, there is a little more to Elvis than the glasses. His genre-defying musical accomplishments, for one. His career spans pumping dance floor hits, moodily melodic ballads, gems of pure pop genius and, my personal favourite, despairing stalker seduction. I Want You beats The Police’s Every Breath You Take hands down. And I’m firmly convinced that there is no one in the world who could resist Elvis’ deep, rumbling croon. The man could take over the world if he decided to.

So if you do head along to check out Elvis, just know that your chances are nil. His number one fan will already be there.
