Iron and Wine - “The Devil Never Sleeps”
As I think I mentioned before, I’m not a ginormous Iron & Wine fan, but I do like a lot of this album, and I’m pretty excited for his new stuff this year. I mostly included this because I’m pretty sure it’s going to be part of a mix that I’m working on using songs with God, Jesus, and the Devil. I’ll be sure to post that when I’ve gotten it all worked out.

Elvis Costello - “Everyday I Write the Book”
Another somewhat tough letter, but since I’d already used up Elliott and Elliott Smith, it made it a little bit easier. Also, I knew I wouldn’t be able to find any Empire State Games or Embrace online. So, it’s Elvis Costello.
Along with Neil Young and the Velvet Underground and Nick Cave, I always feel like I’m supposed to be more into Elvis Costello than I am. I mean, I have a fair share of songs by him, and it’s a nice change of pace from time to time, but I’m not enamored with him like others seem to be. As it is, I love this song, however, and this seems to be a nice, sorta live version from 1983, so it’s a cool clip.
One thing, however, and this is where I turn grammar Nazi. It should be “Every Day” and not “Everyday”. This drives me up a fucking wall, as most grammar mistakes do. Everyday is an adjective, meaning something that you do daily. And while that is the intent of the meaning here, “every day” is what should be used, since “write” is a transitive verb. You could say that you write in an everyday book, although that would be awkward phrasing as well. Forget it.
