Elvis Costello Fan Forum

That was fun - thanks for flagging it up.

This is fantastic, thanks very much Doc.

Several decades ago my beloved Janet Top Balcony used to believe this song was actually entitled "Black and White Worm"

These probably won't last too long on YouTube, as NBC is pretty quick to take things down: Interview with Fallon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JJWzBAFH9k Debuts "Purple Afternoon" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loWhLJYyj0w Stations Of The Cross With The Roots And John McLaughlin http://...

Although incomparable (got my retaliation in first there) for comparison The Ramones would - Hussein Bolt style - routinely cross the line in under two minutes.

Thanks for this John Playing was great and EC in good form. Janice obviously a fan. Little actually new - apart from the possibility that Spectacle 2 may eventually show this side of the pond. In fact it was a shame he didn't get more time as he was going off script at the end reminiscing about the ...

Great thanks,

EC is in great form here

Hi Jardine Yes completely agree that an official DVD would be great, but in it's absence you could do worse than investigate this tread: http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8235&hilit=kris My offer on page 2 still holds good, if you're a UK resident please send me a P...

MP3s of the early show: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gpd6gs Sorry - I don't know the original source. But, the quality is great. Cheers for this notice In view of other dire warnings on this site I'm wary of Mediafire these days, but no apparent harm has come to my computer downloading these files...

a great album -I don't think so, not by a long chalk ! In fact i think the 4 cuts on National Ransack are superior to a number of tracks on NR Still listening generously, so haven't yet decided where to put it on my personal league table. However my initial-ish reaction is to agree that it's not co...

[This should have it's own thread, but what the hell...] I love April 5th and would really like to be able to play, at least the chorus, for my 30th wedding anniversary on 22nd November, can anyone (looking at you in particular Mr Got-a-request-played-in-Liverpool) help me out? Easy chords only plea...

Has anyone actually received the LP version yet? Elvis keeps saying that it's really a double album ( as we used to call them in our youth) so where do the sides start and end? I'll take a wild guess that Ransom is side 1, track 1 and Voice is side 4 final track, but what about the rest? I'm thinkin...

This brief interview on Radio 4 is well worth a listen, thanks for the link.

The filmed performance of "Jimmie" is terrific ( available for the next 29 days) too.

Cheers John Hopefully I won't need this documentation. This recording is spending longer being shipped than it did in the studio! On stage, at the Phil in June, Elvis said it was "on the boat", which I mistakenly took to be a joke. Are these the same culprits who let down Sulky et al over ...

Hi John [ I presume you admire my new avatar? COYB ] Could you do me a big favour please? Would it be possible for you to copy and paste your email re the delay and post it to me in a PM? Reason for this dodgy sounding request is that I too received an email from this crew, entitled "Your order...

As Elvis's Mum's birthday is very close to that date, I would think that you're both on the money there. Suggest changing your nom de plume to Mystic Meg One and Mystic Meg Two ?* * note of explanation for readers in faraway lands, via the authoritative pages of Wikipedia : Mystic Meg (born Margaret...

with higher production values?

I'll be in work so sadly unable to double the viewing figures. Anyway hope this is better than when ( in his only discernable UK marketing activity to promote SP+S) he last shared a sofa with Blankley and Chiles on the One Show! These two brought reading from the autocute to an alltime low. I was em...

" ....the tour hasn't been announced yet, but there'll be some dates, definitely"

These were Elvis's last words on the Mayo show yesterday.

The anticipation builds.

Start saving Mr Foyle, I hope you've been consulted about your availability to attend.

I hope you both - plus all other correspondents plainly - get in and Mr Lad takes his lapels with him.

the Jonathan Ross style of "You think you're 'it', don't you? Well I'm going to make you look like an idiot". A contrary view on Mr Ross. The case for the defence: Thought he was always good value on the radio. No time for the cosy chats with comedy chums ( David Walliams / Ricky Gervais ...

Hawksmoor Completely agree. EC aside this was probabaly the worst "Later" i've ever seen! I think I preferred Mr Diamond in ridiculous-furry-red-outfit mode as shown in the cosy chat section. 'Fraid I didn't like Macca either, shamelessly mining the back catalogue for more riches. And Alic...

There is probably a much better way, but having downloaded FLAC files via Dime/Utorrent, I use Flacfrontend : http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm to convert them to WAV files, and then Nero ( Smart Start? - it's an old free version anyway) to rip them to CD. All the above seems easy to this non ...
