Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I hate those cases too... but if I get a good album and it's in a knackered case, I swap it with the cases from the free cds you get on magazines or CD-ROM cases if they're in good condition. I always try to examine the case though... I think I'm getting obsessive (at least thats what the little dev...

Joe Loss Orchestra :oops: whoops... I actually plead ignorance on that one! Glad to be of service to all non-UK friends, fingers crossed cos I'm planning on doing the Jonathon Ross/Terry and Gabby/Richard and Judy ones as well for you all. His interview with Jonathon last year was pretty good, but I...

Great song, with a composition that shows how much EC was influenced by Nick Lowe. Lyrics are great, all men can relate to them. But...heresy...the Dave Edmunds version is the best version.

Next Song: I Turn Around

I posted a while back to see if anyone knew if this US band called 'The Mountain Goats' are any good. Noone knew. Now I know...they are so great. There lyrically really cutting and funny, and most of the songs on the album I bought (only one on release in uk) Tallahassee are really great acoustic nu...

Here is the transcribed interview (yes I had nothing to do today) of EC on the Steve Wright show today, for all you guys who didn't hear The Man on this irritating radio show. EC = Elvis Costello. SW = Steve Wright, presenter SF = Sarah Ferguson, a woman who was once married to some member of the E...

My Science Fiction Twin...brilliant rip guitar opening, some the funniest EC lyrics as well...the way the song changes when he sings "He sips in the glow of a '61 vintage"...amazing!

Next song... Heathen Town

This is doing my head in...does it mean that the first 100,00 copies in all countries? Will the UK get the dvd version????

Good luck...make sure you get a good nights sleep and take at least three spare pens!

Hi sulkygirl...have sent you my scan from the Edinburgh fringe gig...if you don't get it please tell me and Ill nip it off again.

I think FIFA should clone Pierluigi Collina on some remote farm in Aberdeen like Dolly the Sheep, and have him run every game from the grassroots up... Possible Steve Austin-style genetic 'enhancements' to Pierluigi: X-Ray vision to check for injuries when refereeing games involving Roy 'I was gonna...

Something about the moody doomed love of the Fish-Finger King

Noone got an inkling what he's on about then?

I'll just assume he's talking about the self-destructive oedipal love affairs that plagued Captain Birdseye as a courting youth!

When girls say things it always seems to stick in my mind more, unless they're talking about clothes, shops or shopping for clothes.

Has anyone ever watched the Rugby League coverage on Sky? The so-called pro referees should have mics on them like those refs... it's refreshing (not to mention enjoyable) hearing them in the game. What surprises me most about them, is that in a very physical game like Rugby, they are able to use th...

Yeah, I got that bit...just wondered if "fish finger king" might have been some real topical reference at the time?

I always thought it was.. "There was a chip on Charlie He didn't crack a smile" instead of "checkpoint charlie"...it kinda still makes sense. :oops: Completely off topic....I was listening to Spike last night...what is the line in This Town.. "Something about the moody doome...

I only know a little bit... like tourist lingo. Comes from hanging round with a girl who came from Aarhus a few years ago..taught me a little bit o this and that.

Who Shot Sam...i agree about Lampard, he looks like he's turned into the player he threatened to be, definetely another good English midfielder (why couldn't he have been born in Aberdeen or something..natch!). I was a massive fan of Zenden at PSV, but he doesn't look like he can perform consistentl...

I don't know WHAT to think... there's a talk radio show on the james whale ( :? ) show tonight coincidentally... 10pm uk time on talksport, 1053mw 1089mw.... for non-uk you can listen online at http://www.talksport.net I don't believe the backwards message stuff, but I now can't listen to the Beatle...

I agree with SourMilkCow...if you like the album, you'll like the bonus...and they're all excellent. My best 3.... I think that the demo (and some in different time) versions of the songs of Spike make an interesting change from the more produced sounds of the album....plus a great cover of Brindley...

The terrorist threat of planes as missiles had been around for years before, they knew there was an incident about to occur, but either made an oversight, or hadn't prepared properly for action against the attack. That stuff about not shooting down a plane...they did, the one they told everyone Todd...

Do you really think that Hungup? Its really doing my head in....some of those pics are bizarre! I don't think Im a 'conspiracy nut' or anything (although I was abducted by Elvis Pressley last year :D ), but this is seriously weird!!!! Some of the art/lyrics are easy to explain away...but the fact th...

Just wanted to push this thread to the top so people in the UK might remember to sacrifice their money on the Times to get the CD.

Wow...I just heard about this 'Paul McCartney is dead'conspiracy thing.. this is crackers!!! Is it true? http://uberkinder.5u.com/paul/ I checked out these weird pics..and some seem to have some substance, some seem a little tenous. Then I had a look at these 'clues' in the art and lyrics, and ok ag...

Happy Birthday... hope you have a great day!
