Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Well Katie, please excuse my comments re: the misdirection of Elvis at the Grammy's. In all sincerity, I presumed "Kate' was a junior level marketing intern who knew little of Elvis and the world that sorrounds him. After all, I have emailed the Kate of the Elvis Island site with sincere remark...

Thanks for the advice '10'. I will seek counselling.

I am so ashamed, but at least you have unlocked the secret of my closet misery.

I cannot thank you enough.

Well, "10" your witty crtique of my comments leave me wondering: "Did you watch the Grammy's?" I ask because I am not alone in my review. There is a sentiment that the shift of significant awards to the pre-ceremony to make room for extended performance left the show weakened. Fo...

As I mentioned in tonights Grammy Post, the Kilborn interview was an embarrassment. [kilborn in an exasperated voice] "Punk-Punk-Punk1" [Costello in a demeaning and remarkably witty retort] "Tall Guy" Tall Guy" "Tall Guy" Then Costello told him to relax...or someth...

The Grammy's have lost any direction that they may have had. Some where along the way they decided to mimimize the part of the show where AWARDS are actually given to AWARD recipients. Performances carried, by percentage, 75% of the show, and some long winded speeches by some grammy officials carrie...

I think the webcast is great. Maybe it is enhanced because I was there, but I like the way Elvis and Steve adapted Clown Strike and Clubland for the mood of the club and the audience. As I mentiioned earlier, I missed the witty remarks. If you watch the webcast closely you can catch GilliBeast and M...

Thanks

Blue: What kind of software is required to record the on-line webcast to Wav.? I am fairly computer literate, but I definitely don't know how to proceed here to try to capture some of this event for later. If anyone has any idea's on how this event might be captured and or downloaded, please let us ...

The show was remarkable in the brilliance of the seque's from song to song. I know this is trademark for an EC/Attractions/Imposters performance, but I thought that the intensity stayed high throughout directly as a function of the 'seamless' transitions between songs. Hell, it was hard enough for u...

None of the above. The issues that are referenced above, some with solid evidence and some purely conjectural, are trivial in comparison to her genuine malice borne of the need to control, and her voracious appetitie for power. Bobster, I apologize for not answering with more concrete evidence in th...

Okay, I will call this the "California Dreamin' post... I stand by my belief that he checks us out. I don't visit, read, or contribute (using the term loosely) in the hope that he does visit and may read it. My first incentive to visit was because I admired the artist and wanted to learn more a...

Leave your offer via a message at the dianna krall website, and I'll bet you have more than one candidate to choose from. Frankly, I am shocked that the offer is still on the table. If you can't move the ticket by giving it away, and you consider selling it, keep me in mind. At double the specified ...

Lipstick: No, I would not. Bobster: First, I look forward to meeting you this week. It will be a pleasure. Second, my comments were not meant to be taken literally...that I believe that Elvis will leap headlong into a point/counterpoint between ARL and NoiseRadio. My comment was suggestive of the fa...

There is not a question in my mind that, on occasion and with some regularity, Elvis reviews this site to gain some insight into a small but important segment of his fan base...the zealots who spend time here hypothesizing, theorizing, and agonizing over his artistic adventures. Can you imagine what...

From your post, BYAP. can I then presume that the NY state populace has bought into the 'victimization' posture adopted by Hillary, and her family values oral jetstream of hot air does play well? I completely understand that you haven't inserted Hillary into this discussion, but the comments that yo...

Bush/Guiliani better than Bush/Cheney in 2004. On paper, the Bush/Cheney had far more potential than realized...primarily because of paper and the trail it tends to leave. Condi had an opportunity to shine, and squandered it. Doesn't mean that I don't respect her abilities and her ambition, but fact...

If you can walk the walk, then you can talk whatever the hell talk you so desire. Ultimately, an artist is judged on the walk. And, with apologies to the Book of James, Steve has not only walked the good walk, he has run the good race more than once (artistically speaking, of course). Don't worry///...

The "Mr Average" uniform: Black Jeans. Black Miles Davis T-shirt. No handcuffs. General Appearance: the perfect hybrid of an axe-murderer and an altar boy. Andy Rooney eyebrows. Picture link in Photo Gallery. "Be on Caution where Lover's Walk Beyond Caution where Lover's Walk!" (...

I agree that there is no Squeeze, and certainly no "Squeeze" magic without the pairing of Difford and Tilbrook. In the few, yet compelling interviewws that I have seen featuring both of these great musicians, I was amazed that they were obviously at opposite poles of a "Good Creativit...

I love the details of the dissection and the graphical evisceration of the song. Only problem is this: I am still not too sure what the song is really about. Can it be synopsized as a forelorn love song?...a self deprecating confession?...an admission of guilt that has damaged his quality of life?.....

Well, since you asked, and I was just thinking about it last night... I am in process of rediscovering Trust through an entirely different cognitive lens. I purchased and embraced the first 8 elvis costello albums in the perfect order of their release, and waited anxiously for each new record to hit...

That is very funny, ice-nine. It is a little sad that Oliver has become the butt of so many jokes, however, as he has made some excellent films. I actually like to catch parts of "Natural Born Killers" when it is on cable (I call the film "Oliver Stone's Big Joke!") because I rea...

Bobster: Someone dubbed January 25, 2004 as Diem Misha for the board. I agree. She made it happen for me by helping to secure a tickey beyond my means to do so. And now, with the opportunity to make the acquaintance of you the bobster, senior service, el beasto de gilli, and of course Ms. Misha, it ...

Thanks.

You've found me out. Damn, now I've lost my excuse to miss my assigned tee times with Cheney. However, this might strengthen my relationship with Condi, upset over my assertion that Michael is innocent. Just for you ARL, here are the things that you might overhear if your double-secret-probabtion we...
