Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Besideds EC, I've had a life long facination with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Aside from them, there's really no one else that I'm really THAT fantical over. In a sort of sub-catagory, I'd add the Pretenders. I have also become quite a Van Morrison fan and am well on my way to making my way through...

Now that my ipod is all loaded up it's so easy to listen to anything I want, anywhere I want. I've been listening to IB.......and Guidedbyvoices, you must have been reading my mind. I've been wondering about some of the lyrics to Man Out of Time that have always driven me crazy. Without looking for ...

Happy birthday, RedShoes.

Have a nice day!

I can't get no.....satisfaction.

So this is what I've been missing by not reading the annex? :lol: Oh my, King Hoarse! And Cope, as well. I really do feel your pain. I thank God everyday for all my working parts after recently being rudely awakened by a diagnosis of breast cancer and having to face the reality of possibly losing on...

W/out a doubt it's the Foo Fighters All My Life video. Never seen anything so awesome. Honorable mention: Herbie Hancock's Rockit is so, so cool. Has always been a favorite. Also like Devo's Satisfaction and Nine Inch Nail's I Want to **ck You Like an Animal-such a strange but utterly appealing visu...

AAHHH!! Evanescence!!! Cannot stand them. Along w/Fleetwood Mac and Lynyrd Skynyrd (I'd rather die than listen to Free Bird.) Boy Bands Girl Bands (Except for the Donnas and possibly Veruca Salt.) Bye, Bye Miss American Pie......who sings that? I hate em. Weird Al All the American Idols (from the tv...

Oh yeah, that's a real good one.

That was great, John, I liked that alternative set list.

Ugh! I cannot believe that a few short days ago I was sitting in the Orlando Hard Rock Cafe (down in FLA w/the fam for some much needed R&R.) I knew Elvis was going to be playing a show but I just couldn't swing it to stay. :x It would have wonderful. Never seen him play the Hard Rock. BLAH! Gla...

Sounds like pretty darn good advice.

I'll take it.

Mr. Average wrote:Funny. I never recognized Chris Cornell for his "super hotness" ("What about them Bears, helluva team, helluva team!). I do appreciate his golden throat, however. He is a great vocalist in this genre.

I agree w/you Mr. Average on your assessment of Audioslave. My attraction to their sound, I'm sure, has something to do w/me being a big Pearl Jam(not so much anymore though), Soundgarden, STP fan for a long time. I think Chris Cornell has a fantastic voice. (Not to mention his super hottness. :wink...

I see Van is playing a few dates in NYC....anybody going? Has anyone here seen him live?
WOW! If you have.

Bought Aimee Mann's Bachelor #2 ages ago and finally cracked it open.

Got the Clarksdale Sessions on vinyl but haven't opened it yet.

Also bought the new Norah Jones deluxe edition for my hubby.

Can't remember what else. I've got a terrible short term memory.

Wow, very interesting reading, people. Don't really care for all the lables, but I suppose it;s unavoidable. They pretty much mean nothing to me. I never thought of EC and A's as new wave . What the heck is that anyway? I suppose I did think of certain types of bands as new wave like A Flock of Seag...

........but relieved when I heard it was Pump It Up, a song I've already hear live too many times. I think maybe now, I might not be as pissed if it turned out that I missed Pump It Up for the same reason Otis states above. But back in the day, it was a major crush missing that one. (I believe that...

A long time ago, my husband and then boyfriend went to see a bunch of bands including EC and the A's at an all day thing at RFK stadium, the name of which escapes me now. Of course, being an all day event, a potty break was inevitable. Not knowing the order of the bands, not to mention the crap with...

Anybody else as confused as I am? :? I have the first US release of TDM. I have the itunes Futurama session. I have the 10" vinyl of the Clarksdale session. And I have the Japanese deluxe edition (w/Pulling Out The Pin). Now WTF am I missing? There are so many releases I can't keep them all str...

Sweet P, welcome back! And may I say that is the dirtiest avatar I've seen on the board, in its own innoecnt and pretty way? Thank you, SMM! That is a totally beautiful interpretation of the sweet pear. (You're very deep. :lol: ) And as for VG and Mrs. VG......I was suspecting he was having one of ...

Mrs VG won't let me play EC if she is in the building. She's happy to let me go to EC gigs on my own as she thinks I won't get up to any mischief. If only she knew... :lol: ...and she never seems excited when I come home and tell her about meeting EC. Mind you, she never seems excited when I come h...

That's next....stuff written by EC and performed by others. I have to see how much room I'll have left after I add the Costello/Nieve box set. I've only got a mini. I did not load For the Stars, however, and I'm not sure if I will. Do not like that record at all......but my collection would not be c...

There aren't too many people who would appreciate this beside you guys. I got a pink mini ipod from my husband for Valentine's Day. It was engraved to My Funny Valentine. (How cute is that?) So I started loading all of my Elvis stuff on to it, all the cds and bonus stuff and some other odds and ends...

Hey there, Little Foole.

Happy Anniversary, BTW.....sounds like your wife wants to make you happy (w/the FRONT ROW tix and all).
You lucky Little Foole!

Mr Average~ I think EC would be delighted that you make your own personal interpretations of his songs. When grilled about their meaning, he replies over and over how essential it is for the listener to bring his personal circumstances to the song to create its "meaning". I believe he'd be...
