Elvis Costello Fan Forum

The last few songs on North are 'Joy' songs where he meets and falls in love with Diana I would say. Especially Let me tell you about her. Frank Skinner when he interviewed him at the time said he didn't like him happy.

Sitting in a pub garden in Northampton last Saturday night and Watching The Detectives came on the pub music system

Number 37 in the vinyl single charts in the UK this week. First time Elvis has been in the top 40 for a while.

Looks like I better hold fire on the flights to Manchester then, just in case

Elvis's brother Liam played drums with James Blunt for a while

I’ve just had a cheeky pint or 6 with VG. Two city gents in our suits

Sleep of the just I sort of ignored as it is something you may use but London's brilliant parade really made me prick up my ears (audiobook) and think maybe I had missed a few other lines.

He mentions Sgt Rock later too

I am sorted too thanks to VG. Thanks mate

I reckon a new album possibly another cover versions album

I am with you Neil, i know there was a big discussion on line about him selling out but i cant think of the last time i heard Elvis on the radio. the single from the movie is great and got no airplay at all.

It is looking good for a few English dates this year other than Manchester.

Whilst this is now turning into a thread on dreams. I had a dream the next fan forum meet up was in a pub that didn't exist and we ended up in a tv show where people were all out to get us.

In the mid 70's when United weren't very good it was considered a great thing that we came from all over the country to support them
