Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Ha, I think this is from a dvd I made from the webcast a couple of years ago -- I had to splice in the audio from another recording during the intro to Broken Promise Land because they cut out EC's political comments (and curse). I remember also having to edit in a section during the solo on Who's G...

connor,

Like ba posted above, http://www.elusivedisc.com still has the ep in stock for $6.99. I got my copy from them, and have ordered from them many times over the years, always with exceptional service.

Wow, I don't think a press release has ever caused me to swoon before, but that one just did! Very excited about this album!

I'm just jumping into this fascinating thread, and haven't seen any tangential threads, so forgive me if I'm missing anything relevant and/or getting off-topic, but I just had to reply to Christopher calling out "Red Cotton" -- I know that Barnum is a rather unsympathetic character, but I ...

Thanks for passing along the update, John. Really sorry to hear this.

Ha! The REAL cover's got you guys beat!

That's going to look amazing on the vinyl cover!

WOW!!! That was GREAT!!!

I was lucky enough to catch two of the Sugarcanes shows (the Ryman in Nashville and Chautauqua, NY), and they were unbelievable. I really hope Elvis will take the show to your side of the pond next year, John, because the recordings, even as good as the Massey Hall radio recording is, don't *begin* ...

Join me in a birthday shout-out to our very own Bronxapostle. Have a great one, B!

i'm trying for y'all...especially a little savage of a delivery man!!! THINK PINK! i'd like a WINDING WHEEL duet and them working out IF I WAS A STRANGER and NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE as well! heck, we should be executive producers that night! I know you're trying -- your efforts are much appreciated!! ...

Yeah! I'll second the wish for a Ryan Adams Spectacle! Wouldn't you love to hear EC sing 'Oh My Sweet Carolina'?

(and BA, are you up to your eyeballs in a pink vinyl nightmare?? ha, I'm 'littlesavage' on RAA...)

Oh, wow. That would be fantastic!

This website -- http://www.releaselists.com/index.html -- in it's August 3, 2009 update lists a Canadian Blu-Ray release of the first season of Spectable. The listed release date given is November 10, 2009. A quick check on Amazon.ca confirms this -- along with a DVD counterpart -- as both are curre...

I was lucky enough to catch the interview at the Country Hall of Fame. Lasted about an hour and 15 minutes and then Elvis adjourned to the Museum Shop for an autograph session. Not surprisingly, the bulk of the questions were about how Elvis got into listening to country music and how it influenced ...

Just going by memory, Spooky's setlist looks pretty close, but weren't the last two songs reversed? Seems like Changing Partners was the last song of the night. Also, in Alison he threw in several lines of I'll Make It All Up To You, in addition to He'll Have To Go and He's Got You. Fantastic show, ...

Just in case anybody is still trying to track down a copy of the single, I saw about 20 copies on the shelf at Twist & Shout in Denver during my recent vacation. I just checked their website, and they do mail order and have the single listed for a price of $2.99.

I'd really love to hear this band tear through "Glitter Gulch".

Heads up, Nashvillians ---

per Twitter from Grimey's 4/28/09:

"Elvis Costello 7" in stock now"

Saw lots of copies of the Jenny Lewis/EC single -- looked to be identical to the one that came out in the U.K. last year. No luck finding the "Complicated Shadows" single.

TI'm particularly intrigued that Tennessee plays drums on so many tracks. Does that mean that there are two drummers, ala the Allman Bros. or Grateful Dead, or does Pete step aside on those tracks. Sounds incredibly interesting! Yep, double drums on the tracks Tennessee plays on. There's a picture ...

I just noticed one really terrible thing after I sent the previous description.

From the download certificate:
"Offer good in US only"

Hopefully that won't really be the case when the download site goes live.

OK -- I'll copy and paste what I just posted to the listserv about the new album. Beware there are plenty of spoilers, so don't read if you want to be surprised..... I'll have to leave it to others to report about the music itself -- my turntable is out for repairs (didn't anticipate the early relea...

I pre-ordered from Music Direct and received a shipping notice yesterday. According to the tracking code, it's due to be delivered tomorrow (April 16).

Sounds like either T-Bone produced Momofuku or maybe that new Coward Brothers album alluded to on the official website wasn't a complete joke after all.

So a vinyl-only field recording of Elvis eating noodles? What?
