Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I'm one of those who voted Alison out. My choices as the rounds have progressed have been increasingly decided by asking myself 'Is the MAIT version better than the song is usually when played live?' Songs such as Alison, great as it is on the LP, have generally been superior live -incrementally pol...

I'm having problems too

Are we agreed that Detectives should be included in this? It certainly alters the feeling of the album compared to the “original” Stiff issue in August 1977 ! If this was a 'Vote for your favourite' type of poll comp I'd agree wholeheartedly. However, in this 'least favourite' scenario (which maybe...

Ah! I thought you might torture us with King of America next!
This should be relatively straightforward until about Round 6 or 7 - then it's circles of hell I fear!

Like every round a tortuous choice for the final.
Really enjoyed this kosi, thanks for running it.

Looking at the 10 tracks left there's not much love for Side 2 is there?

B-Movie is out! I swear you get a kick out of this, Kosi! Okay, I attempted to assassinate 'Temptation' once again. People either love that song inordinately or are tactically voting to thwart me at every turn! 'Temptation' is the fingernail on my left pinkie! Can't believe 'Motel Matches' is still...

The lying. Going to Tory donors like Dyson to make ventilators when actual ventilator makers were ignored. <snip> Luckily we still have the NHS, but the Tories have been chipping away at it for years. To see them clapping the nurses has been disgusting - they cheered when nurses' pay was capped bac...

Nyyaarghhh!!!

This is going to be a torment!

It's almost like Kosi599 is standing there, grinning and pliers in hand, asking me which fingernail do I like least!

King of America
North
Trust

I quite like the Secret, Profane & Sugarcane and National Ransom covers too.

Clever idea!
However, your form seems to accept multiple responses

With my 5 note improvisation suggestion being played as well!

Two and an half hours, set much the same as other nights. Voice ropey for the first few songs before a sip of the magic juice and got into gear on Tokyo Storm Warning. Many highlights, but Detectives was sublime! American without Tears, Whisper to a scream, all the Get Happy track and PL&U all f...

He said it is This Year's Model on stage tonight in Manchester!

Enjoyed this! Cheers!

I'm not sure if it was pre sale or not but I booked with AXS for Manchester and the tickets came a few weeks ago.

AXS confirmation email said:

Elvis was there but didn't perform.
I wasn't but a friend was who said Ian Prowse was very good.
Support was Nasher from Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Ah, restricted views, the bane of my life! Once upon a time I would have been able to wave to you from the opposite Row B behind the camera position. These not 3 o'clock on Saturday days I'm an irregular visitor, second to back row of the Lower Bullens last time, ball could be going into orbit for a...

Ian Prowse announced as support: @IanProwse: Probably the most excited I’ve been in 28 years of releasing records. Taking our 3 piece line up on the road with the legendary @ElvisCostello Gonna kick the UK’s arse! Tickets on sale now: https://tour.elviscostello.com/ https://twitter.com/IanProwse/sta...

Knotty Ash is in the West Derby area of Liverpool and the Olympia is on West Derby Rd! Eh? All that sitting up in the nosebleeds watching subbuteo men has confused your geography!* Unless you're going to get all historical and say Knotty Ash is in the West Derby Hundred (see wikipedia for more deta...

Jeez, £10.10 PER TICKET service charges and facility fees is taking the piss more than a reissue with a previously unreleased bonus track.




Of course I've paid it

River in Reverse - I've never liked it, many do.

So, do all these #justtrust2020 tweets mean a Trust based tour next year?
Here's hoping!

Imperial Bedroom
King of America
Trust
Momofuku
The Delivery Man

Not everyone had a bad Amazon experience. My copy turned up right on time Friday as promised. First impressions? More Painted From Memory than Imperial Bedroom, but thankfully not exactly like either (they are two of my favourites, but we never want same again from our man, do we?). At times, it fe...
