Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I went to a sneak preview of this film last night. I've never seem much Jarmusch before so maybe I don't get it. But it was so droll and seemingly sophomoric that I walked out after the 3rd vignette (Iggy and Tom). Maybe this is his schtick, I dunno. It must've gone over my head or under my feet, bu...

Let's see if he can warm up by willing the Chicago Cubs into the World Series first.


Then he can worry about the devil.

Sorry to sat that I got a "Dear John" letter from Satan last Wednesday.

It seems that he is leaving me for his old girlfriend, Hitler.

I did a quicky Control-F search on this thread. And I was somewhat surprised to find that in the entire set of posts thus far, no one has bothered to mention 9/11. The Nick Berg beheading is a tragedy, but to blame the fanatical hatred of the US on the invasion of Iraq is a wide stretch. By more tha...

I agree with Blue. A great album. Not comparable to YHF though. I think Tweedy made an obvious attempt to downsize the direction of the band from the broad ranging "sonic landscape" painted on YHF. There's alot of negative buzz around this album, but I think it's unjustified. I've download...

Can you stream a bit of Limbaugh's show? My junkie friends have been craving it ever since NPR went Country.

I apologize for that last post. It didn't make any sense at all.

I respect anybody that can string that many 2 syllable words together without quoting the Bible... or writing a Frank Zappa review.

The album takes on considerably more signifigance when you realize that the sessions were recorded during Elvis's infamous auditions as "George" in the London, England production of "Beatlemania". While the producers praised his almost "natural" Liverpudlian accent, the...

Since I was a kid in the 70's I had always thought that Abbey Road, side 2, was the singular best piece of modern music ever made. In the ensuing years I was bombarded by people who thought that Beatles White was superior. So much so that in the past 10 years I have stressed the White album as the B...

It is a good song. This type of rabid, self obsessed, narcisistic drivel should not be tolerated on this board. Opinions are one thing. But when a person gets so inflammatory as to cause mass hysteria among the rest of the posters, I think action needs to be taken. Blue Chair, please apologize for ...

I met him once!

In real life he has one of those funny French accents, like Bono.

A standout track on that record is Hey Punk. A flower power take off on Hey Joe. "Hey Punk, where ya going with that flower in your hand". "Well Im' going down to San Francisco to start a Psychadelic band" Really great stuff. I haven't heard this record in probably 25 years. A Za...

I was listening to Brilliant Mistake on the head phones (right now actually), and realized that during the verses there is what sounds like this really cool , melodic, soft plucking sound from some stringed instrument coming in on the left channel. It's buried pretty deep in the mix, and I'd never h...

It's just a movie line. And besides, does it really even matter at this point? Sorry, my inane attempt at humor and irony fell short. You see, Kevin Costner was the lead actor in both Crash Durham and JFK. I was attempting to make a clever interplay between the two movies; one where he spoke the qu...

I really think you're all coming down on this kid unfairly. And no, I am not him. At least he's trying. I'm a failed 40 year old songwriter, and I believe you gotta give everybody out there a chance. It took Elvis a few years to find his voice. I personally dread listening to the early stuff like Wa...

I have to admire anyone who can place this lyric in song. Quite remarkable.

Eerie!

That's Rumsfelds new single!

Obviously, the person who said this is an uninformed heretic and must be killed.

If you don't believe me, just watch JFK.

Granted Blue, but I was speaking more to Cait's songwriting prowess. I honestly don't know how many songs she wrote with The Pogues, and if there were even more than a few good ones, I would concede my point, but absent of that, being a good bass player does not automatically equate one to being a B...

See?!

You see what happens when you let stream of conscienceness ideas flow freely, you get the crazy responses like that of Watching The Detectives. I rest my case.

Please excuse me, but I now must get back to my current task at hand; counting my collie's nose hairs!

No, I am not Bebe Buell!!!!

Well, I delighted she's going her back in public. This is the woman who wrote (most of) "Baby Plays Around" and there's obviously a big talent there. Not tryng to be the least bit disrepsectful here, but I think anyone touching toes in bed with Elvis for a few years might be able to pump ...

Interesting review.

Can't wait for Elvis's critical analysis of Billy The Mountain.

And Valley Girl can't be far behind.

I think it's pretty good!
