Sorry, people, but I´m not going to talk about Elvis today. Today I have a message to all of you who read me and don´t have a clue about what´s going on in my country.
As a famous song says, Brasil is a “tropical country, blessed by god and beautiful by nature”. Although I’m pretty sure god has long forgotten these lands, I have to agree with the rest of the lyrics. The problem is: “what shall we do with all this useless beauty” (as Elvis would say) if we don´t have dignified education, dignified health services, dignified public transport, if we have alarming violence rates, high taxes and high corruption indexes (and no punishment), no public policies to protect minorities and unequality which only creates more violence and ignorance? So for those of you planning to visit my beloved country, I will be glad to show you the truth about it: the gorgeous works of nature right beside the extreme poverty; our rich culture and all the happiness that it´s necessary to overcome the complete lack of hope. But for those who are only interested in the beauty, I suggest (in fact I BEG) you to spend your dollars/euro/pounds elsewhere. Please do not give your money to this government which puts Soccer Federation and other coorporations’ interests over people’s lives. Please do not come to our stadiums full of money taken from our pockets. Please do not attend these great events that will leave no legacy for our people. I also would like to suggest some reading (in english) about what´s really going on here (and you won´t read it in any conventional media). But do keep in mind this is only the top of the iceberg and (I hope) there is a lot more to come. -> http://saladuprising.tumblr.com/

Sorry for non EC stuff but, you know, she´s my girlfriend so I have to share this.

Can´t wait for the new album (more here)

“Our only visit to North America in 1980 was to replace the Clash as headliners at the Heatwave Festival near Toronto. We had considered opening with one of their numbers, but knew that we would never fool the audience, as we are so much better looking.”

“FUN” ELVIS COSTELLO DOMAIN NAMES WORD GAME
Hey, so someone pointed out that the domain “WiseUpGhost.com” and a few variations on that name has been registered by Elvis Costello in advance of this fall’s collaborative album by Elvis Costello & The Roots, Wise Up Ghost.
A WHOIS search reveals that Elvis Costello owns 11 other domains, but only lists the first and last letters.
The first one, registered in 1999, is obviously “ElvisCostello.com” and the last few seem to be the variations on “Wise-Up-Ghost.com.”
Any guesses as to the others?
