Looks like Robyn Hitchcock has just done this at two gigs in UK.

I've always loved the song.
I would love Elvis to play it in Warsaw in November. (I put it in my imaginary setlist for the show)

Great news for all fans of Mike Scott and his band : The Waterboys release new album, An Appointment With Mr Yeats , on 19th of September. I simply can’t get enough of the song “White Birds” taken from the album. The Waterboys at their best. You may listen to the song here (don't worry, the link is ...

Typical. Political discussion is allowed only when the participants have “correct” views. Simple example from this board (which I love being part of, by the way) - bashing Bush and calling him halfwit was not a rare thing over here, and I can hardly recall anyone telling those who did this “you’re a...

Cass McCombs' "Dreams Come True Girl" was one of my favourite songs of 2009, so I was excited to pick up his latest album Wit's End. Some may find the songs repetitive, too sparse and downbeat, but I am enjoying the album immensely. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H42RNXqZL._SL500_...

A few favourable reviews, but no mention of Elvis :

Well, having nothing else to do I thought of a possible setlist for November show in Warsaw.
Except that about one hour later I wanted to change 1/3 of it.
It just shows how damn difficult it is to limit yourself to just 30 songs from Elvis' brilliant catalogue.

I would leave it as it is, if only to see my kids happy to lead the pack. They made some excellent choices and - lucky for them - they decided to make them on Thursday. Besides, by Gameweek 5 I will be on top of the table anyway. :twisted: It is probably too early to say, but Ashley Young seems inde...

SETLIST : 1. I Hope You’re Happy Now 2. Veronica 3. Heart Shaped Bruise 4. Crimes Of Paris 5. Almost Blue (Elvis on piano) 6. Still (Elvis on piano) 7. Sulphur To Sugarcane 8. New Amsterdam/You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away 9. Blue Chair 10. I’ll Wear It Proudly 11. (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Sh...

Nice start... Thanks to f*****-up servers of the refurbished FFL site, I had to play with an auto-completed team.
This also means I will be forced to use my wild-card as early as Gameweek 2.

Ron's site has just started a series of track-by-track album commentaries written by Ron himself.
The series is supposed to cover all of his albums.

Here's the first album :

Couldn't agree more. Love the melody and how he sings it.
I've been missing such pop songs from Elvis.
And I love how his voice cracks on "occasion" in the first verse. I've missed that, too.

Excellent stuff! Many thanks, doc!

Congratulations to Cory !!
Not a good season for me, although strangely enough I won in another league. I guess it only shows what a bunch of football experts we have in our league.

See you all next season.

Guys, any chance this could be available somewhere in mp3 files ?
Pleeeease!!

OMG, I've just read it!! Fan-fucking-tastic!!!

Just bought two tickets to Arcade Fire show in Warsaw in June.
Two tickets because I'm going with my 15-year-old daughter, who's a huge fan of Arcade Fire.

Thanks a lot.
Can't wait to download it having read all the posts here.

Is there any place the show is available in mp3 format ?
I'm afraid I'm dime-illiterate....

Chris, your excellent review somehow escaped my memory. Very glad more people on this board like this record. Next up : Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51h-xVEFrpL._SL500_AA300_.jpg I can imagine that at first listen, and to some ears, it may ...
