Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Ordinarily The Annex would be the place for Ms Krall`s stuff . However the fact that her new album is half composed/edited by Elvis means that anything to do with it is deserving of our attention. The fact that the album is so good helps also .

Prompted by a reference to a U.S. showing of the movie Gloomy Sunday ( Germany 1999) - which features Elvis` version of the title song - I found myself looking up the details of Elvis` recording of it. A commentary on the 1994/2003 re-issues of Trust - where it was released - says this - 'GLOOMY SUN...

According to Going Through The Motions - an early 1980`s Costello book - Radio Clyde broadcast songs from a show at Tiffany`s , Glasgow ( October 6 1983) . The Oct.17 `83 was broadcast on BBC Radio One and is widely available on boots . I`m listening to it as I type - and it`s a cracker! Promoting P...

Alas , modern technology just has not reach that level of excellence yet.

Diana did Love Me like A Man and Narrow Daylight. The first was with Erskine/McBride/Wilson and the show`s Big Band ; the latter was a Diana `n trio performance. She was not interviewed. She looked great , no rings on her fingers , dark clothes with a reddy/blue neck scarf and a great big smile at f...

I`m on my second listen of the Krall album and I like it. Like it very much. I keep thinking of Joni Mitchell. I also keep thinking of Tasmin Archer`s collection of Costello songs of about 10 years ago ; something about how the female voice can be paced to include the multitude of consonants that fi...

.......and the disc is in my sweaty hands. I just bought it for E19.99 in Music City , Dun Laoghaire , a small coastal town in south county Dublin which , irony of ironies , is very close to where Elvis used to live. It has a fold out sleeve with lyrics of the originals , not the covers. Besides the...

This evening in rainy Dublin I was in HMV on Grafton Street and saw something great - two empty shelves in the Jazz section with stock cards saying The Girl In The Other Room - Diana Krall. Yes - the disc may very well be on sale here tomorrow , Good Friday , or , at the latest , Saturday. In a curi...

I discovered Nick Drake through Elvis .When Elvis worked with Robert Kirby for a live orchestral show in 1981 he made a comment about having always liked Kirby`s work with Nick . That - then as now - was enough reason for me to check him out. Back then , of course , it was impossible to get Nick`s d...
