Death to the Penny — A case for killing the United States’ 1-cent coin

I’ve posted another compelling anti-penny argument before, and this one makes the same points, but that other one was over a year ago and this one is just as good, so I’m posting it, too…

Elvis Costello says don’t buy his box set, buy Louis Armstrong’s instead

Elvis Costello took to his blog a couple weeks ago to let fans know that they shouldn’t buy his new box set, because at over $200 it’s way over-priced and because there’s better music out there anyway…

We at www.elviscostello.com find ourselves unable to recommend “The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook” as the price appears to be either a misprint or a satire.

All our attempts to have this number revised have been fruitless so we are taking the following unusual step.

If you want to buy something special for your loved one at this time of seasonal giving, we suggest, “Ambassador Of Jazz” – a cute little imitation suitcase containing ten re-mastered albums by one of the most beautiful and loving revolutionaries who ever lived – Louis Armstrong.

The box should be available for under one hundred and fifty American dollars and includes a number of other tricks and treats.

Frankly the music is vastly superior.
