Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Oh dear, now possible to see the way the voting is going - especially when it's so tight at the top

Should have an advert to see how Elvis is saving the world !!!

Not happy about this result. Strict Time is such an incredible rhythmic/melodic tumbling ride through the hills on an out of control train. Watch Your Step is fantastic but it doesn't thrill like Strict Time. That song continues the shocking violence featured on the album - 'broken noses hung up on...

thanks SULKY....you always understood the true ba aesthetic....brilliant analog!

True, BA, really hard to get the analogue warmth no matter what digital format I've used !

Beautiful sonics - when it's right , it's very right, good on ya, BA!

Link seems to go to voting round 4 rather than round 6!

Neil you want to see the barnet now its half way down my back. Plus I am sporting a beard Im going thru my MLAR phase

What, All Grown Up ? !!
It's just because you're in Goon Squad's teams place in the Champions League

What offends me secondly in this truly criminal activity, after the theft of EC music FOR MAJOR PROFIT is this. It is probably a taper fan who shares recordings captured freely whose shows are compiled here from this Port Chester run. Utterly terrible...calling down kharma on this mess. :evil: :evi...

I still reckon Pete looks like the U.K. advert where the chap saunters downstairs after having taken "E.D." pills and has had a successful nocturnal diversion !

Well, I find that Accidents sounds worse without all those other songs crowding around it, and that each one that got excised weakened what was left behind. "Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:— We murder to dissect." Differently put, I get the game, but, real...

So Day 59.3 was on the theme of "Jealousy" - watch (again) on FB here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=297871228029259 This was the setlist (original artist in brackets): 00:00 Alison (EC) 04:27 Satellite of Love (Lou Reed) 10:45 Jealous (Labrinth) 15:24 Jealous Guy (John Lennon) 2...

I agree, Verbal. I've had a couple of listens and there's a chaotic, crockery-set-in-a-box-tumbling-down-the-stairs vibe that I can't get into - and the verbosity bothers me too. The hook line doesn't quite sit for me. That said it's definitely interesting new work and I'll give it some more spins!...

okay, c'mon. a well-made, expensive book of ECs paintings. I really do love them... ...and, oh, yes, that clip. i'm very happy to be shook and yes, o'h-are-a, not o'h-air-a Should we be getting definitive advice on pronunciation from our Eire correspondent? I remember him making himself understood ...

Strange order, obviously created by a Columbia exec as Chelsea comes from Taking Liberties rather than TYM, PLU and Radio Radio are ascribed to the U.S. releases rather than the original U.K. issues as is Detectives. oh and by the way, do you think the lines with the Eamon Singer drawings should be ...

as my last post of November 2011 reads above, I SURRENDERED! i've enough tedious stuff to do. SOMEONE? ANYONE? run with it IF YOU DARE!!! I forgot this INSANE attempt....as i stated long ago, please copy, cut, paste, alphabetize, place by date, country or religious persuasion, i waved the white fla...

Wish I lived a couple of thousand miles closer !

Have any of the Goodbye Cruel World contributors been mentioned
Gary Barnacle
Green
Luis Jardim
Jim Paterson ?

Okay, halfway there....i found the cassette! I think i have a cdr somewhere too. Give me another day or 2. Guess my tape flip jam was within the 45 minute mark of shows end. Horrible feeling for house lights to come up, and see your cassette at the beginning instead of at the end meaning you record...

This is a difficult one because it’s such a good album. No surprise with Sunday’s Best though. I find it funny that loads of people think it's the worst - imagine people voting off "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite " from Sgt. Pepper over say "Fixing a Hole". To me it's a subli...

Elvis has always shunned the idea of a double album except in recent times when vinyl issues have had four sides with three or four songs on each side. KOA could have been mind-blowingly brilliant with those songs included as well as the mighty Eisenhower Blues in a full 7 minute rendition !

surely you gents forget my sad tale.... the ever dreaded pre digital dilemma of dilemmas: THE INCORRECTLY EXECUTED (rushed) CASSETTE FLIP! which when done to the height of its devastation, could have the dejected taper losing upwards of 45 minutes of music. :( :( if you don't understand...too long ...

I've been scanning concerts from 2000 onwards checking any that I didn't have and this one is listed as existing on the wiki but I've not come across it. I'll certainly let you know if it surfaces, FaveDave!

This one seems to have slipped by me without any impact on the collection or reaction from me - don't know why I missed it .
Could anyone help me with a source please ? Always willing to trade anything should you require it !
Thanks in advance !

I'm not voting for Goon Squad ever because of the connection with a certain forum member and because the Hammers scored a great winner against Chelski last night - how I cheered !

I've just had a brainwave ( :shock: ) for the next release "North" on 180g vinyl with one side white and the other black. Cunning and stunning, eh? If Elvis needs someone to come around and tell Eamon Singer to throw away his Rowney crayons and give him advice, I guess I'm the artistic gur...
