Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Currently reading "Liverpool : Wondrous Place" by Paul du Noyer - highly recommend for your Xmas list. Elvis crops up quiet a lot, which led me to access Paul's homepage and this earlier version of Cash for Questions : Elvis Costello: the 1997 interview Posted on: Monday, January 21, 2008 ...

thanks, fingers considerably crossed for this

Hi UB
Do you know when exactly? One of my wife's friends is a resident of Derry and has asked us over to take in the Capital celebrations, this could be very timely indeed.

[ btw - have you checked your entry in the Trading section recently?]

All the best

Hi UB

Yeah I've got this one - probably via those nice DIMEsters, if you send me a PM with your current address then I'll send you a copy.

Take care

[quote="watercamp"]Remember the first time you heard this? For me it was the UK Stiff single and I played it over and over marveling at how different it sounded from the material on My Aim Is True. /quote] Don't remember first hearing, but do remember first buying this epic Stiff - in a re...

Yeah, I've got this one. Expect that it started out as one of Sulk's Prime Cuts. Happy to copy for you, send me a PM with your current address and I should be able to get it in the post at the weekend for you.

All the best

Hi I rang 0844 338 000 the phone line for http://www.bookingsdirect.com, just asked for the EC presale - they only have a portion of the tickets, but it worked fine for me. The email which Verbal copied earlier in the thread has hyperlinks to Tickemaster Other details which may help : Edinburgh Fest...

It's North that gets my vote in this "Terrible" category. It's his Marmite album ( although I actually like Marmite) and I know plenty think it's great, it's just that I don't get it, any of it. However to be fair I do like the cover.

Can anyone throw any light on why the UK tour with 17 dates is called the 13 Revolvers tour? 13 Revolvers.jpg Any relation to 13 steps lead down (to the auditorium)? Does this suggest that four dates will not feature the wheel? MOOT ...........or is it just that next year is 2013 ? :wink: Hope it's...

Great stuff Sulky.

This was uploaded as the presale info for (almost all) next year's dates were published - are you in his management company ?

I got the same email - is the Liverpool show on 10th June written in invisible ink?

Where is that lemon juice....

Big thanks from me too.

We were very lucky in Granada Land to have Tony Wilson getting these acts airtime.

Think it was Elvis' solo appearance on "Whats On" that got me hooked...

... "turquoise" - can't be many other wordsmiths who would even dream of using this word. sonic youth and Camper van Beethoven.... Echo and the Bunnymen "Turquoise days"? Donovan? Thanks guys - said there couldn't be many : 4 isn't so many. Colin Top Balcony ( standing well back...

Always loved this song Seems to open most Spinning shows, however the inclusion of the word "turquoise" makes it a contender for the Colour Jackpot. Topically on the final day of the London Olympics, this shows EC as a gold medal lyricist - can't be many other wordsmiths who would even dre...

Andy, big hi from me too.

Your "board name " is a really overlooked gem of a song, one of my favourites.

Hi Wolverinefan Here's a link to other people's thoughts on this song: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/131852/ I've cut and pasted the one which intrigues me most : I joined this site only so that I could add to this page. Ever since I heard this song over twenty years ago, I had a convictio...

Yeah - big thanks from me too John, really interesting.

I've every confidence in your powers of persuasion... Not sure who this "nice" Mr Cameron is though... My suggestion that the Liverpool / Manchester / Sheffield shows has myself and Mrs Balcony sorted for each other's next birthday, Christmas and Easter gifts has been greeted with a commen...
