Elvis Costello Fan Forum

It's a british thing...

I'll pm you...

Ooh, here's an interesting singer I have listened to in my exile...Joanna Newsom... She's great, really strange mewling vocals, Bjork meets Kate Bush with harps...her album The Milkeyed Mender is smashing, (I also heard her on an advert for Orange mobiles the other day - better than all those Over T...

I think he told me to get off his land once...(in a west country accent)

I know, sorry, cheap shot...

Guilty...the thing is they take ages to do, painstakingly weighing up who goes were, politics and all....reduced to 3 seconds of 'who am I?..oh'

Still fun though

I think my cat has lost some respect for me...is this normal?

Alas, London is a no go....maybe in 2006...

Good to be in the company of many other 'comeback kids' - Rama, Quetzlcoatl, Lazarus, John Travolta, Chesney Hawkes, Dirty Den...

Isn't Tom Waits suing a car for covering one of his songs on an advert like this?

I'm added by jove! Im also the only person in Scotland with a computer AND a record collection.

The Monster At Our Door by Mike Davies...about Avian Flu, bit boring. Brave New World by Huxley...amazing, epsecially that this was written in the 30s but reads like it could have been written yesterday. Stephen Fry's Incomplete & Utter History of Classical Music...entertaining, but a bit disjoi...

Hey...just tonight I watched Ichi The Killer...brilliant stuff, so funny and gorey, yet quite surreal...it was great - but some bits might be deemed disturbing I suppose...man having his faced sliced off and that, not particularly reccomended viewing for 'beans on toast with the kids'. I have seen q...

Yeah probably EC's me number 1...in terms of music that I can constantly relate to things that happen/have happened to me...you know in the way that sometimes a song becomes your own, and you can never hear it again without thinking about a particular moment. I guess that's more to do with his lyric...

meh, I couldn't be bothered to go out and see them, they didn't sound much kop...although livelier than the editors.

Sadly no Elbow for me up here...FF were ace though, great use of the video on a massive screen behind them.
Watch out for their support the Editors...they were mince, a bastard chimera of U2 and Coldplay!

Feels by The Animal Collective is pretty damn good.

Moody ambient synth. Nice.

Interesting fact -

If you put all EC lyrics into the computer, pay 12.99 for my book The Costello Code, and stare at them real hard.......

you go boss-eyed.

Is EC a direct descendant of JC?

It is, as I say, a surprisingly good book..they also include EC's Extreme Restraint - basically the Top 10 songs from the Vanity Fair Top 500 article (rather than the Starbucks 'choice' list - oh yeah, I finally got a copy of that thanks to a travelling coffee consumptive). EC crops up in the Stiff ...

Anyone got the Rough Guide To Playlists? Surprisingly good book, perfect little stocking filler £5.99 from all good bookshops....the Costello entry is by Andrew Rosenberg...("His prolific, genre-hopping career has delved into the country, classical, jazz and R&B, but to many he remains the ...

Cool...February it is. Did you buy the Grizzly Man soundtrack thing...I couldn't bring myself to, cos Persuasion was on the Live at Austin CD.

release date: June
style: Jazzy blue collaboration with Mrs Costello
A hit single? Erm..no
guests: Elvis Costello

I wouldn't want to cross Jordan...if she didn't get you, then Peter Andre or the scary kid would!

It's slotted conveniently after the new Noel Edmonds show!

Alas no....sorry, why don't you ever have one in Glasgow. Is this a conspiracy!? Man, I've slipped down the table of posters - 6th! Maybe that makes me look a lot healthier than when I was sniffing at Blue coat tails. Should I reply to every post from the last couple of months, dredge them all back ...

Hello..ooh new teeth, that's weird... So I have officially regenerated into the 2nd laughingcrow after intermittent passes, bungled attempts and foiled plots...this is it. An internet connection - only took me the best part 10 months. So...what's new? Happy belated birthdays to you all, glad to see ...

Best wishes to all affected...here's hoping Pophead2k is ok.
