I won't, it might not be a hi-tech recorder (just the standard digital recorders we have in the newsroom) but I definitely plan on recording the show.

good on you stranger...screw it, go to all three shows unless hollywood is too far for you. as for advice: be a young, pretty girl, have a boob job, be a youngster, or a friend of a friend. DON'T GO in a dungaree jacket with a SONY recorder hanging out of your pocket!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I meant to...

Sweet! Three Florida shows - including two in south Florida, where he hasn't played in years. I was hoping he bring the Spinning Songbook down here. I think I'll avoid the one at the Hollywood Seminole Casino. I'll probably go to the show at Ruth Eckerd Hall. So excited. Any tips on being picked to ...

I've been waiting to hear this since the setlist was made public. It's one of the few shows where he played "Stranger In The House" (one of my all-time favorites - hence the name) with the Sugarcanes. I've been wondering what that sounded like ever since. Thanks a lot BA and Doc, looking f...

I liked it a lot. Very understated fro what passes for R&B these days. My favorite track is The Morning.

The Detroit Cobras' Baby is a fun record, you cannot be in a bad mood hearing it. I've been enjoying the Dawes album a lot since it came out. I also caved in and bought the new Bon Iver. I don't think it's the album of the year a lot of people claim it is, "Towers," "Holocene", a...

I finally had a chance to listen to the recordings from Columbus and Toronto and both sound great! Especially the Get Happy! jackpot in Columbus with "I Stand Accused" and "Riot Act." It was also great to hear "Stations of the Cross" and "I Hope" in Toronto, t...

I love the Strokes, although that last album wasn't very good- this song was a highlight, and Taken For a Fool seems like such a great match for EC to sing.

Agree, or at least a double header tour. In any case, I'm excited for the new Nick Lowe album.

Being in the medical field and knowing how bad things can get, coupled with what just happened to Clarence Clemons, last night's news had me very worried. As our musical heroes grow older, these health scares become more frequent and more serious. Glad to hear it was just a cramp. Agree, I'm really...

I went with Trust, it's the one where the band is most cohesive and an integral part of the song. I love their performances elsewhere but each individual seems to tower everyone else in other albums - Bruce's bass drives GH for me, Pete's drums in TYM, Steve's keyboards in nearly everything else- bu...

Glad I was wrong as well. Looking forward to hear Riot Act.

Browsing through the fine AV Club site I found this: The hits keep coming: 30 songs inspired by domestic violence 29. Elvis Costello, “Boy With A Problem” In the early ’80s, Elvis Costello alluded to domestic abuse several times—most obviously on “Beaten To The Punch,” from 1980’s Get Happy!!, and “...

This is excellent lots of horn action, triba...

Yeah very cool.

Glad to see I Stand Accused in the set list. It's weird that no recordings of the past few shows have shown up.

Welcome back BlueChair. I see that The Decemberists are getting a lot of acclaim for The King is Dead but I just couldn't get into it. I do love "Dear Avery" Wasn't sure if you meant 'hails from' literally or metaphorically, but I see she too is from Nevada City, though now resident in Por...

Very sad news. He will be missed.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/ae/more/s_742613.html The concept got off to a shaky start with a rambling, unfocused version of "You Tripped at Every Step." But the momentum that was lost by the change of pace was more than compensated for by Costello's sharp wit and a ban...

Pics I took of the program. Pretty sweet!

That program is awesome.

Hopefully, Two Little Hitlers will come up soon. Would love to hear that live.

That Labour of Lust reissue was excellent. I could not get enough of it when I got it. Another album that's I instantly liked is Alela Diane's new one Alela Diane & Wild Divine. She's a folk singer who hails from the same place as Joanna Newsom. Gillian Welch's new one comes out on June 28, alon...

2011 is looking like a great year for music, as mentioned in the recent CD purchases thread, so I thought it would be about time to ask what your favorite albums are so far? Here are mine: Elbow - Build a Rocket Boys! Loved it at first listen. Radiohead - King of Limbs It's spotty I know but I liste...

Has anybody here actually ordered this? I'd be curious to hear how vastly different from the original vinyl it sounds.

I have vinyl copy from Israel I think and I love it. Just wondering if it's worth the $40.

This amazing, I'm almost finished watching it and it's been interesting to hear how little he really says about each song.

I like the bit about switching the lines in "Accidents"

Thanks a lot Doc.

I do!! We can call it The Double Barrel Revolver Tour featuring Yo La Tengo and EC, that would be awesome. Maybe they could swap songs at some point. I'd love to hear a YLT cover of EC.

For me, the absolute favorite albums would have to be This Year's Model and Brutal Youth. Those were the albums that really introduced me to EC and made me want to listen to more. Like docinwestchester said, TYM is the perfect album. Every song is amazing, it never feels dated and I always have to h...
