One I didn't get was on teletext a while back in the sports headlines...the story was that Newcastle midfielder Stephen Glass was considering a transfer offer from Hibs...the headline... GLASS EYES MOVE I thought it may have been unintentional, until a few weeks later, again on teletext, there was a...

I don't mind songs changing and evolving over time, although I tend to think of the album versions as 'the real ones'... One thing that does irritate me on live recordings (oxymoron..?) is when he's dragging the lyrics behind the melody,then garbling them quickly towards the end of a line, very prev...

The 'Purity' of TJL
I've been listening to TJL the last couple of days, and I noticed a bit of backing vocals on Romeo's seance,over 'Romeo is calling you...' As far as I've noticed, that is the only bit of overdubbing on the album, (unless there are any strings overdubbed; I don't think I'm enough of a student of stri...

Re: Elvis Costello A Life In Liner Notes
Choice Cut: "[On] the fade of 'I'll Wear It Proudly'... Mitchell [Froom] plays the organ melody that I had sung to him. He would make good use of it, turning a variation of that theme into a hook on his production of the big Crowded House hit, 'Don't Dream It's Over.'" Wow....amazing....I...

I'd never have guessed where this would go from my opening gambit, but just out of interest, NR.... I watched the extended DVD of SLIH a while ago, and among the cast list, I noticed that the guys' name is not in fact Beanstalk, but Biehnstock, or something like that...(I remember thinking when I wa...

References you didn't get for ages...
I was just listening to 'Kid About It', which I must have listened to a zillion times in the last twenty years, and I suddenly got the line 'When she said I waited all my life for just a little death', ('Petit Mort' being a french term for orgasm, for anyone as slow as me...) Anyone else got any the...

That's one of my favourites too...I actually got a reply, back in the good old days of 'Ask Elvis' on the island board...I believe I asked why it was such a generally ignored part of his back catalogue,as I thought it was one of his best songs....He replied,' thanks for the compliment...I think that...

She's pulling out the pin
This has gradually become one of my favourites on TDM , but I don't get the line ' This is her wedding day ' I've heard that suicide bombers are promised a harem of 42 virgins or something when they enter the promised land ; Is this the female equivalent of that , that she becomes the bride of Allah...

Must be a fan. He was right behind me (sitting with Jo Brand and bitching about fellow media folk) at the RFH gig. I know JB is a huge fan...i remember her being on GLR maybe ten years ago, and she was totally rhapsodic about EC (after being asked about her favourite music; not just out of the blue...
