Elvis Costello Fan Forum

i may be in the minority but take the best albums of both artists and compare them. these are of course my opinions and not based on any real fact... meet the beatles v. freewheelin' bob dylan-dylan narrowly. works better as an album although a lot is to be said about the instant impact of the beatl...

first of all i agree with everyone who says it's highly immoral to download an entire album. that being said i did the unthinkable and downloaded wilco's new album a ghost is born. i still plan on buying the album june 22nd when it's released. i'll probably buy it on cd and vinyl but i had to have i...

32.93886% - Total Geek i think it was the comic books that did me in since i hate star wars and star trek. That and I wear glasses and sometimes snort when i laugh, and read douglas adams and oh dammit... i'm a geek and i'm not ashamed to admit. i'll wave my geek banner like a flag. long wave old ge...

i'm trying to decide if i want to go to bonarroo to see them. i have a friend who's uncle is larry campbell (dylan's guitarist) and he says he can get me free tickets but, from everything i've hear bonarroo is a complete mess. but the sheer fact that there will be so many amazing muscians there make...

bluechair--live from the women's club is an "official bootleg" that the sold in a limited quantity around here.

well, once again i was payed and went with cd's and cigarettes this is what i bought: the strokes-room on fire fountains of wayne-welcome interstate managers the thrills-so much for the city bruce springsteen-the essential bob dylan-blonde on blonde remastered neil young-harvest moon elvis costello-...

bob dylan-15
elvis costello-12
pavement/stephen malkmus/silver jews (they all have malkmus on them)-10
the beatles-8
the smashing pumpkins-7
tom waits-7
white stripes, wilco, various others-4

most of my collection is on vinyl so i counted that instead of cds

i have a bootleg of the show and the audience is definitely booing. at what i can't say but there defintely booing. but it brought out the best in him because the version he does of it's all over now baby blue is absolutely heartbreaking.

thank you so much, i was wondering when it was going to be released. i thought it was supposed to be released in october

i knew this list wasn't quite right when blonde on blonde and the freewheelin' bob dylan were ranked below highway 61 revisited. that's very near insanity. i hate these lists because they're so objective and nearly always dissolve into arguments over "my musical taste is better than yours."...

does anyone know why the version of blonde on blonde is two discs? did they go back to the original double album format? i have to replace my copy of blonde on blonde anyway and i was just curious. i also really want to get nashville skyline.

i guess right this very second, if only because i've been listening to it so much................................................yankee hotel foxtrot by wilco

if you're going to start with cash you have to start with folsom prison. then i recommend american recordings. those two are the essential johnny cash albums.

also on a really cool not i got a 45 of "i walk the line" on sun records today.

the new quasi album is fucking amazing, and it comes with a live album for a while and that just kicks ass. i also got a really cool beck bootleg the other day.

my dad woke me up this morning by telling me that johnny cash died. this might be the biggest tragedy this year. zevon and cash within a week of one another. this has really been a black week for the music industry. but whomever said cash wasn't going to live long after june died was exactly right. ...

weirdest event ever? justin timberlake AND snoop dogg giving props to mr. cash

in no particular order of course. maybe subconsiously cigarettes-say what you will about the sticks of evil. they'll get you through some rough times and all you have to pay is three dollars and cancer later in life the poetry of david berman-probably my favourite writer of all time. his band the si...

i personally had a really big week of buying music last week. i got payed!! so what did i do? i wasted (not really, you have to feed the monkey) all of my money on: the silver jews-tennessee EP-david berman is one of the only new songwriters out there whom i personally think is worth a damn. modest ...

if tom waits ever tours i will jump up and down until the end of the universe. probably with a slight pause to go to his show. i would also like to know where you got that bootleg bluechair. if any of you don't know what tom waits to listen to i highly recommend nighthawks at the diner , small chang...

johnny cash's album (american iv) was better than probably every other album/song nominated put together. if there is any sense of fairness in the descision making process he'll win all six. but i fear fitty cent is just too "good" to beat. besides, a man who has been making amazing music ...

that is hands down the best campaign slogan i have ever heard.
now if only the masses will follow it. here's to the ousting of the true 'axis of evil'
