Pages 4-6...

Here come the scans of the magazine pages, three at a time. I hope this is ok; it's the first time I've ever uploaded anything here. I'll get add the cover of the magazine once I get a chance to scan it. Obviously the first two pages are supposed to face each other so that the neck joins the body of...

Hi All - I remembered this interview from a magazine I had in high school; I don't think I've seen it posted anywhere. I scanned the actual article but had trouble attaching it to my post - help, anyone? Anyway, although various parts of this interview have been retold elsewhere, what I think is int...

I can probably get to Newbury Comics this week. I'll PM by the end of the week to check in on this...

I actually just picked up a copy at the Newbury Comics in Harvard Square for all of $2.99. I couldn't find the 45 on the store's website, but for those of you in the New England area, it's worth a stop or a call: http://www.newburycomics.com/rel/v2_home.php?storenr=103&deptnr=60 ...there were se...

Evidently, the Boston Pops kept Il Songo in their repertoire for last night's concert with My Morning Jacket. From the Boston Globe's review: ...Ironically, the first half of the program was more provocative and eclectic than the symphonic rock set. Bjork's bittersweet ``Overture," Christopher ...

The Globe liked the gig, too: http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2005/07/26/costello_takes_a_trip_through_americana/ Costello takes a trip through Americana By Tom Kielty, Globe Correspondent | July 26, 2005 Over the course of his long career, Elvis Costello has taken to exploring musical terri...

Here's a whole buncha info on the album from rec.music.dylan:

...including a little debate about Tombstone Blues.

El Vez, Somethin' Else is the Cannonball Adderley album to get. I've heard that Miles Davis put the band (Miles, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, Art Blakey) and the session together as a thank-you to Cannonball for joining the Davis quintet. It's really only nominally an Adderley album, but Cannonball plays ...

There's also an interview with Martin Belmont, though it's much more guitar-specific, and he doesen't get into his time as an Attraction very much:

I also saw them in September - at The Paradise in Boston, and it was a blast. He favored material from his last three albums (no complaints there!) but also included a good helping of older material and some unrecorded songs. He's really amiable with the audience and VERY funny. I also really liked ...

...apologies if anyone's posted this before (I didn't notice if so) but I ran across the hard-to-find Georgie Fame recording today while browsing iTunes for some other stuff...haven't downloaded it yet.

The Elvis Costello Home Page has a great resource for lyric references: http://elviscostello.info/faq/lyrics.php The Man Out of Time note from that FAQ: Man Out of Time - 'French letters' is UK slang for condoms; "German sense of humor" refers to someone who has no sense of humor. 'Dutch C...

Eric Crap... er, Clapton

A sketch is usually a score written on two staves - looking like piano music - rather than an individual line for each instrument in the score. Sometimes more staves are added to clarify the lines. When you're writing a sketch, you're just getting the ideas onto the page, and aren't worried about pr...

Go Red Sox! Ths IS the year, right? I believe that the Cubs/Red Sox World Series that ESPN.com and the Boston Globe are predicting is a sure sign of impending Armageddon. If so, can we start a petition for "Waiting for the End of the World" for the postseason "Baseball Tonight" t...

The August 1998 Q magazine has Elvis ranked as the 68th wealthiest British rock star:

I think the Gibson acoustic has two pickups and outputs. The single-coil pickup at the neck connects to a jack on the bottom of the body: http://www.guitar.co.jp/list/gibson/gibson_j-160e_new.htm But in Boston, I noticed that he also had a cord connected to a strap-button jack, probably to a piezo-t...

Hola! If you haven't checked out Steve's very cool website beyond the journal, you might want to do so. His 'correspondence' project is an interesting looking open-ended collaboration, sort of an invitation for lyricists. And it includes a couple finished products (Passionate Fight, You Lie Sweetly)...

LaughingCrow and Hungup, Thanks for the information. I do indeed mean NL's solo records which had been on Columbia in the US. I have a Demon CD of Jesus of Cool, but none of the others. I used to have a cassette of Labour of Lust, and am pining for it, big time. I also really like all the Rose of En...
