Elvis Costello Fan Forum

As for Sirius/XM, it is nothing but a more expensive version of broadcast media. I imagine their profit margins are slim. Poor leadership that still wants to thrive in an old business model, combined with a little bit of corruption, shit is going nowhere - FAST. Comment on poor leadership and a bit...

ARA founded in 2013 is about 15-16 years too late. Why the concern over the Liberty and iHeart merger? They are both sinking ships. Broadcast media is dead. Is this merger a problem because they own a large chunk of streaming sessions? Who cares... That business is so jacked. As for Sirius/XM, it is...

Killer tune. Nice vid to go with it. Looking forward to hearing more.

..... does anyone else find Muriel’s interruptions really irritating? "Really irritating" is a bit strong I think. The whole thing is what it is. So looking forward to the next 50..... This captures it for me. I've watched every one, and I think you just need to get into the feeling of be...

This was a total hoot. I think I might need an appointment with Doc Alton. Allan is cool. I think he could really clean up on the beach town circuit. Get a few Buffett / Boat Drinks tunes going down. SOLD OUT. The tech difficulties are the best. Someone needs to collect all the gaffes and blunders d...

I tried to place an order a while ago and it wouldn’t go through. I’ll try again.

Nice note. Hope he gets a response. FB only has to provide a paywall, plug in for live streams so the artists themselves can monetize it. Pay per minute / per song / or monthly sub. Patreon is a good platform for monetizing artist’s work online. I have a sub set up for a musician I know. It’s cool. ...

These live streams are a total hoot. So nice to offer this to fans. A real gift. Difford was awesome. EC and Steve were amazing.

Squeeze Sunday. Cool. I hope to catch it live. I’m out of sync with time zones right now. Mountain? Pacific? I’ll put the few brain cells I have to figure it out.

The ultimate daily improvisation - the Special 420 Edition - with the technical difficulties and EC’s double glasses situation. “People tell me this isn’t really a good look.” Classic! Has a hint of The Tap. It sounds great once they get going. These have been great listening. Offers a bit of relaxa...

Pete “Totally Trad” Thomas. Classic footage. Nice to see EC / Imposters take the win. Well deserved recognition.

I’m digging the hat, shoes and overall the color combo. Looks like he shopped at a “second line” clothing shop in NOLA.

Happy Birthday, Elvis! Keep up the good music and good looks for everyone on this forum. Looking forward to more live shows and new music in the coming years.

Other notable folk born on this day: Monty Hall, Regis Philbin, Wayne Shorter, Rollie Fingers, Jeff Tweedy, Steven Toast.

I’m sure BA is a cool, genius kind of guy. I’m the weirdo, remember? What do I know? Absolutely nothing! Although, I’d like to create a crowdsourcing fan bot and override all the bots (mostly Live Nation’s grip on the market) and kick back tickets to the fans that want the good seat at face value $ ...

As previously stated, if that seat means THAT much to you....pay the required price AND ENJOY IT. EAT it without complaint after losing out on the initial sale... Collusion??? AGAIN, PLEASE!!! all YOU conspiracy theorists among us!!! No weird streak, BA. You called me a conspiracy theorist. I am no...

What’s your IQ, BA? Seriously. Do you read the New York Times? It’s your local paper. Do yourself a favor and read it every day. As for accusing me of scamming on tickets or something along those lines —I do pay full price. Always have. Plus, I buy merch. Do you buy merch? No, you break the rules by...

BA - You are missing the point. The tickets aren’t / weren’t even made available to the fan upon first day of sale, or in pre-sale or in fan pre-sale. They are sold directly via the 2nd market. Collusion. As for front seats, some people prefer a seat in the front /lower level sections. Personally, I...

Probably more common than we know... Or not... all legal here in the US: https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/live-nation-placed-thousands-of-tickets-on-secondary-market-metallica-1203273337/amp/ I’m interested in learning about Live Nation’s dynamic pricing scheme. Seems like all of this works against...

I schlepped it out there. Great show. Sound was solid. They really sound awesome. Glad I made it. I almost didn’t. The venue is the worst. There were more Live Nation employees than attendees. At least that was the scene in the lower level. Of course, I was pegged as some psycho stalker or something...

Hot cover. I Love Beck and Spoon.

This day in history: The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turni...
