Elvis Costello Fan Forum

The Friday has Elvis Costello in concert on at 22.00 as well. Sounds like the 'A case for song' show

The radio radio episode was on BBC 4 last week. The version I watched they edited straight to Chris Rea and didn't show the Tony Blackburn reaction afterwards.

Interestingly they showed in full a performance from convicted 'sex offender' Jonathan King

This is problably a good occasion to release a memoir.

Isn't that a frightening thought Elvis is 60 next year

On Sunday I saw someone on Southend Seafront wearing an Elvis and the Imposters T shirt

Having listened to the album now for just over a week I have nothing really new to add to what has gone before. In my opinion this is the best record Elvis has made for years. The new songs that are very strong and as good as he has written for years. I do struggle slightly with the songs made up of...

I think I saw something on Twitter that WUG will possibly get a few Grammy Nominations. That could give it a big push. Lack of airplay and promotion here in the UK cant have helped with sales. Radio 2 probably Costello's natural home in the UK have largely ignored recent releases. Perhaps another si...

Just checked in with Mrs John - still not come - surely tomorrow! Will Mrs Sheep have played it? Mrs John will have more than likely hidden my copy - the rest of the family are a little Elvised out at the moment. Now that 's a thing, maybe I should ask for a proof of delivery?[/quote] Just to confir...

Sugar wont work sounds a radio hit to me. Something maybe Radio 2 could play here in the UK.

I don't want to build the hopes up VG, John and all those waiting for WOWHD. but I believe my CD has come today. I haven't seen it personally but Mrs Sheep said it has arrived

Still I wait for the deluxe CD from WOW HD

An absolute disgrace I will never use them again and the will get a very 'shitty' email once the cd finally arrives.

Could we change this to the 40 days of waiting for CDWOW to send out WUG to various members of the forum?

As far as wearing well, I've never been this age before so I don't know how I'm supposed to look

Enjoy the hug

I will raise a glass in celebration later. Happy Birthday.

This show is on in the UK Sunday night on the CNBC channel. Its on around 20.00. Thanks! That should cap my 50th birthday weekend off nicely. You're never 50. You are wearing well. Happy Birthday from the Sheep family. we will raise a glass in your honour this weekend. What day is it so we can do i...

Despatch pending better than back order I suppose

This show is on in the UK Sunday night on the CNBC channel. Its on around 20.00.

Elvis will have another album out before wow send my one.

Really pissed off. Sadly the HMV in Moorgate where is used to buy my music was one of those to be closed

Mine is the same. Won't be using them again

Nice cover, generally interesting list of collaborators, and Ron S is on it! But... Checked out the clips. No disrespect to a keyboard genius, but it mostly sounds pretty dire to me. The dated power pop 80s sound of much of it is v off-putting. Sting sounds awful and his son not much better (you ca...

I have just heard the new album from The Strypes - a very young band from Cavan, Ireland. You will like it if you like Dr Feelgood, Nine Below Zero etc. The reason for this post is that the album contains a version of Nick Lowe's Heart of the City, which will be familiar to most on hear, particular...

Pete Thomas is number one in the UK album chart following his guest appearance on the Arctic Monkeys album. What chance Elvis knocking off the top of the chart next week.

Came home expecting to find Verbal, Sulky and whoever else celebrating the UK release. Where are you? A couple of people on the 'countdown' thread only. For my own part my glorious plans to 'rush my money to the record shops' went pear-shaped due to about 5 too many issues to deal with at work. So ...

VG I have only heard the single, and a couple of the other tracks. Tried listening to it on the train but the buffering is getting on my nerves.

I may well wait for the cd and blast it out from there. A treat for all the family

I bought the CD version of the show the other week from Amazon. (On Stage)

I imagine a few on here already have it. I had never seen this release before. Is it a bootleg?

The sound is probably better than than the spinning songbook release and the sleeve looks authentic enough.

Like what I have heard so far, My only complaint would be that it sounds to me a very 'summery sounding record'. Maybe not lyrically. But it could be being released just a little late in the year especially as it has been ready for sometime. I could just imagine sitting in the sun listening to this ...

Jamie Cullum played it on his Jazz show on Radio 2 last night. I wasnt listening but saw it on twitter.
