Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I'm still buzzing about this. I've seen Elvis live maybe a dozen times and this was the best. The first set was very nice but the second set was the mutt's nuts. Great to be able to get up close in a small club like this. Great crowd. It's been a long time since I saw the whole band as energized as ...

I just listened to this. Lovely song. I really like the chord changes and the mood. Sounds like this will be a real late night record. Perfect!

Is that Steve on piano?

Just back from Providence. The Lupo's shows were very enjoyable and the band were in fine form, even if there were few surprises on the setlists. Great to see the band in a small club like this. The crowd was into it and the band seemed to feed off the energy. I got in line outside around 4 o'clock ...

Shearer. Can't stand him (he bores me to tears), but he's been so consistent.

Just got my tickets today -- for both shows.

Anyone else on the board going?

Very cool. Looks like New York - water towers on the apartment buildings.

Insert your own Russian joke here, but when John Terry's next drink offence ends up on the front pages with the headline "Crime & Punishment", remember that you read it here first. Love it. I'll have to remember that one. Terry has just re-signed. What a bizarre week. All going along ...

Lovely. Got a ticket for both shows (7 and 10). This is gonna be great. Anyone interested in meeting up for a drink before the show(s)? If so, send me a PM.

I've already given my New York tickets away to a friend. Sorry.

What do the fans have to be upset about?

Will be refreshing to see hacks write about something other than our crushing debt. I'm sure they'll find some new angle that puts us in a bad light.

I know nothing about the guy apart from an article from Time magazine, but it's hard to see how this can be anything but good for the club. Clears all our debt in one swoop, more money for new players. Should be an interesting couple of weeks ahead.

Yeeeehaaaa!

We're flush with Russian mob money!

The two-CD set, "Big Squeeze" is kind of fun. One disc of greatest hits and one disc of b-sides (they wrote some damn fine songs that did not make it on to their albums).

I also like Tilbrook's recent solo album a lot.

It looks as though EC's New Hampshire gig has been cancelled. But he has added two shows (7PM and 10PM) at Lupo's in Providence, Rhode Island that same day. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. You can see more here: http://www.lupos.com/Splash.html I am seriously considering ditching my Central Park ticket...

I read the first three and then stopped myself, for just the reasons that SLC mentions. I want to be wrong, I want to be wrong, I want to be wrong.... The first three? I can understand thinking that the lyrics of the second half of the album might sound "hokey" - love IS hokey. But the fi...

Sounds very interesting. I can guarantee there will be a lot of whining from music journos about how EC is noodling around with jazz and classical musicians and should be "rocking out." I loved his Bard College show with the Mingus Big Band, as well as "The Juliet Letters" and &q...

Well, we're half way to 2004 and so far this has been an excellent year for music IMHO. Here are my top ten so far. What are yours? 1. Radiohead - "Hail To The Thief" 2. Pernice Brothers - "Yours, Mine And Ours" 3. Lucinda Williams - "World Without Tears" 4. The White S...

Gilli: One minor point. While Chelsea may have been one of the first PL clubs to add foreign players in a big way, several of the starting 11 (Terry, Le Saux and Lampard for example) are or have been England internationals. One could make the argument that a number of PL clubs are now less "Eng...

The most overrated footballer on Earth. Just glad the whole saga is over.

Betcha United win the PL next season at a canter. They'll be asking, "David who?" by Christmas.

I just received the June issue of Word yesterday, with Morrissey on the cover and a long interview with photos inside. Sounds very similar to the documentary. Good stuff. I heard a couple of recent tracks on a BBC radio program and liked them a lot -- will be interesting to hear a whole album of new...

Couldn't deal with the mess over on narby's site. Unless or until he gets it fixed, I guess I'll be hanging out here.
