Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, CA, June 16, 2023

Chris Willman's comment from a discussion on Facebook About a dozen replies so far... only one from someone at the show! I don’t agree with your sister; would be curious to know how many shows she’s seen. “Problematic all night” is way out of proportion to anything I heard. Most of my problems were ...

Paul Simon interviewed by Elvis, Record Collector, July 2023

Terry Staunton, Facebook On those very rare occasions I'm feeling lazy, it's good to have someone else do the work for me. This month sees the debut of Elvis Costello as an RC interviewer, grilling his old friend and hero Paul Simon, while I eavesdrop and add a touch of background/context. How's tha...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Bend, OR, June 10, 2023

Scott Buttner, Facebook- Mini review This was my 14th Elvis Costello concert over the past 46 years. Though there were a few rough patches (his voice cracked quite a bit on a quiet version of “Toledo”; there were some missed lighting cues) overall the musicality was perhaps the best of the shows I’v...

Via George on Facebook- Great show tonight in Vancouver! Someone forgot to turn on Nick's mic for PLU, and apparently Bob doesn't let him plug in his guitar, but so fun seeing these guys sing together!

Re: Joker Out and Elvis Costello - "New Wave"

Via Stephen Done/Facebook Elvis on 'New Wave' by Joker Out & Elvis Costello. When Joker Out first sent me “Novi Val” and I found that the title translated as “New Wave” it couldn’t help but raise a smile. As older readers may remember this was a tag that some wag borrowed from French cinephiles ...

Re: Elvis and The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, Charlottesville (VA), March 10, 2023

Cal Strummer , via Facebook I couldn't really get any good pictures, but the Charlottesville show was incredible (as usual!). EC seemed to be in pretty good spirits and enjoying the crowd's reactions. He told a story at one point about a "power cut" that happened downtown today, and how it...

Re: ELVIS solo GRAMERCY NYC February 11, 2023

'cowards white failure(?)' More likely 'cowards white feather '. 'Sing the Soldiers Song' Possibly a reference to the national anthem of Ireland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amhr%C3%A1n_na_bhFiann That song would have been preferred by the nationalist/ Catholic community in Northern Ireland.
