Elvis Costello has been named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to music, and though he's "happy to accept this very surprising honour," the legendary singer-songwriter posted a note to his website admitting that he had mixed feelings about receiving the distinction.

Last year, Elvis Costello reunited with his backing band the Imposters on Look Now, their first album together in ten years. Today, they come together again on the Purse EP. It was initially released and sold-out as a Record Store Day Exclusive vinyl on 4/13. Purse, now available digitally, compiles four previously unreleased recordings.

A 35th anniversary showing of This Is Spinal Tap screened at the Beacon Theatre for NYC's Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday. Following the film, there was a Q&A with director/actor Rob Reiner as well as the other members from the fictional band, Christoper Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer.
