Elvis Levels The Building with "Oliver's Army" | The Spindle

from WASTOIDS · host WASTOIDS

In the late 70's Elvis Costello was on a roll, making hooky, insistent music that didn't compromise on message. The 1979 single "Oliver's Army" b/w "My Funny Valentine" is the most prime example—a scathing indictment of British imperialism that was catchy enough to hit #2 on the British charts. Hear how Elvis pulled this off as Marc and John dive into this controversial classic on the latest episode of The Spindle, a podcast about 7" from WASTOIDS. Call us anytime at 1-877-WASTOIDS.  More podcasts and videos at WASTOIDS.com | Follow us on Instagram and YouTube.
