Elvis Costello Fan Forum

King Hoarse: You're right most fo them are good. "Loveable" Is terrific. But I don't think Broken is all that great. Cait was the bassist for the Pogues I beleive, and after all she was Costello's wife so she must have pretty good musical value (but not romantical...lol Imagine being marri...

LOL i guess everyone has their stories regarding how they became elvis fans. I've been listeing to him since I was a small child. I was born Into the King of America/Spike/Mighty Like a Rose/Painted From Memory Elvis so naturally I prefer his later years. In fact only this year I started regarding h...

I read he quoted that Springsteen has been doing the same stuff for all his life and just can't realte to that (or something like that). It isn't really an insult, in fact I know that the both of them have respect for each other (and have MAD parties with other rock stars in Vancouver!! YEAHHH!!!!!!...

Hold on a sec...banbooneedle, are you Matt? If so we have to talk! Wow! (Someone slap me in the head it's Elvis's son)!

I like Boy with a problem too! Was it originally from Trust?

Haha! Guess you're right. WE're not really nerds! My friends think so though. They always laugh at me when Alison is on my playlist (of the car). I really can't recall listening to him on the radio, ever. I don't listen to the radio or t.v much, but I've seen him on the grammy's playing "London...

Is it really? That's odd. In the song lyrics it mentions Jimmy (an army soldier) and a girl he met in a bar, which he eventually beat her sensless (to death?). I think it's gotta have a meaning to it (like murders in America or soldiers and their social wreck). Whatever the song is about, I tihnk it...

lol i refer to her peronally as the bitch. I know for a fact Elvis hates her guts, and I've read all about her through many books. I don't personally hate her, bue If Elvis dislikes her, then i dislike her...same goes for everyone Elvis dislikes (Except for Bruce Springsteen, he's another hero of mi...

i'm sorry 'bout that. you're completely right. I din't mean to offend. MLAR is just my favorite album and the message I was trying to convey was directed not specificaly towards you but towards those who beleive Costello was nothing more than a 3 album wonder. I do not judge you based on your thread...

Actually you are right, that literally ISN'T a Costello song, his ex-wife wrote it. As you can see, she really can't write a song. It's kind of weak and missing out on the typical "Hide you meanings" strategy Elvis uses on his songs. but since he loved her so much at that time, he put it o...

My dad has a music store and that's how he met him. Whenever he's in Toronto he always stops by my dad's store to say hi and buy a guitar. I never met him though...

I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY TIME I'VE HEARD ELVIS ON A RADIO OR SEEN HIM ON TV. BUT I CAN IMAGINE THE THRILL! I WONDER WHY WE E.C FANS GET SO HYPED? MAYBE BECAUSE WE HOPE AT THE SAME TIME THE WORLD GETS TO KNOW HIM AND LOVE HIM AS WELL, MAKING US A LITTLE BIT LESS NERDS!!
sorry for the caps!

lol save some E.C for later! Great Quote! :o I wish I could do that...I'm still waiting for a new installement while downloading stage shows and new material (I'm afraid I might get bored if I listen to the same stuff for too long!) I wish I had some E.C I never heard b4 :( (WHAT A GREAT FEELING!)

Complicated Shadows is 'bout Cash (and gangster life) How to be Dumb is 'bout Bruce, WIWC is all 'bout the bitch (O'Riorden) lol (xcept 45 and tear off your head) After the fall is 'bout their relationship Monkey to man is a response to the original "Monkey" and Darwin's theory of evolutio...

If you guys want I'll pressure my father into giving me Elvis' e-mail, then you guys can e-mail the cd (and the art). The chances are pretty low he'll give 'em to me (especially with the way things are going) but I'll try if you're interested.

MLAR gets 1 and a half?? O c'mon man! I just can't realte. I don't oppose opinion, but if you're a fan to somebody who changes in musical direction every year and you still glorify 1 musical style he releived himself from years ago, then maybe The Sex Pistols are a better choice. Any Costello fan wh...

:D Finally I can rank some Warner Honey!! Well, this is my favorite album, so it's really hard. We're talking about Elvis Costello's lyrics crossing Elvis's grom view of the world and ending with a title such as "Mighty Like a Rose". Bizarre, but true. Again, I love every song in this albu...

I think this albums has a lot of concert material, stuff that pumps you up, but lacks the same emotion in the cd. Anyway this record was very important for elvis, it funded GCW (then he went broke for a while...). Shipbuilding is still a good song though!

You know this may be or may not be his weakest album. But I certainly love Inch by Inch and love field (although they would have been good contendors for get happy!!, i don't know why i just see them in there :D ). I'll say it proudly, this album rocks! It's one of the first Costello albums I picked...

wow u guys really ont like honey... eh?? thats my favorite by far! Blue chair...i dont really get why its SOOO good....Home is any where u hang you head is iight and finally, uncomplicated/tokyo storm are just amazing!

...then i guess i'm the odd one eh?? Maybe I am too big a fan. Ranking in costello terms is better than in international terms. i don't think any Costello album can be ranked side by side with, say, a Nelly or a 50 cant record or osme other crap like that. All Costello albums are 5-star, even in Cos...

Songs elvis should sing at a concert (not in order): 1.Unexpected no.4 2.whats her name today? 3.I want you 4our little angel 5.london's brilliant parade 6.please stay 7.baby plays around 8.all this useless beauty 9.you turned to me 10. i'm in the mood again thsi kinda came out of the blue, it's bas...

Well, I guess I'm just anewbie eh? Somethings never change. If you'll ever come around to it i may have a way of reaching elvis, say, electronically. If any of you are interested post me back!!

This isn't my favorite album...nor am I crazed about everything behind Trust, but it's still better than anything Nirvana could ever have done@ So... 1.SECONDARY MODERN 2.OPPORTUNITY 3.HIGH FIDELITY 4.MOTEL MATCHES 5.LOVE FOR TENDER 6 I CANT STAND UP FOR FALLING DOWN 7.THE IMPOSTER 8.NEW AMSTERDAM 9...

You know the problem with this type of rating system (and precisely WHY I didn't use it for my own ranking thread) Crille? No Costello fan (especially if they're fans so crazed on him they're devoted to a site) would rank a Costello album lower then a 2 or, more accurately a 3. Why? Firstly, It's fr...
