Here's Wendy James, the former singer of Transvision Vamp, who wrote Elvis Costello and his former wife Cait O'Riordan a begging letter, wondering if they'd write her a song for her solo album (all this takes place back in 93 or so, btw). Elvis replies that he'll only do it if he can write the WHOLE ALBUM for her. He and O'Riordan knock off ten or twelve punky pop salvos in ONE WEEKEND, EC makes the demos, and Wendy James has the whole package in less than a week. The songs are good, the album's production is terrible, and Elvis did a great Clash "inspired" job on this song. Ms. James may not have made a big splash, but she's pleasant to look at and the entire album comprises one of the more interesting side projects EC has done. Here's 'London's Brilliant'.

I'll bet EC could crank these out in his sleep. His farts are more musical than anything I've written.
And hubba hubba, by the way.
Hey, not so hard on yourself there, buddy! I'd put Selected Portions up there with anyone's farts.
Jay is too humble. There. I said it. I'll never say it again.
