Napoleon Dynamite Vs. Elvis Costello
Did you guys realize that Napoleon Dynamite is an old pseudonym of Elvis Costello. He used it in the credits of Blood & Chocolate.
Is 24-year-old writer/director/Mormon Jared Hess a big Elvis fan? Actually no, learns Entertainment Weekly:
Jared Hess: Two days before the end of shooting, a high-school-age extra asks, "This is based on the Elvis Costello alias, right?" "I went, Whaaat?" Had I known that name was used by anybody else prior to shooting the whole film, it definitely would have been changed ... I listen to hip-hop, dude. It's a pretty embarrassing coincidence.
Hess tells the mag that the quirky handle belonged to an old Italian man he met doing missionary work in Chicago a few years ago.

Also: Three nights with Elvis Costello, serial collaborationist.

Hey Scott...Not sure if you (or even they) have read this yet, but in the latest Blender, with Dave Chappelle on its cover, they name-drop your audiophile friends on their annual "Hot List" (They're #88).
It reads: "Audioblogs...They're just like regular Weblogs, except they also include mp3s--new ones every day, often including rare or not-yet-released songs. Fluxblog, Soul Sides, and Tofu Hut are three of the best, curated by crate-digging fanatics."
That's pretty excellent...and it's on page 82 of the magazine.
