Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Every Storm Runs Out of Rain - Gary Allan

Have a gander at DRAMA CLASS, my new webseries about a skirt-chasing high school football star forced to join the drama class for his final year.

We launched the show today and our first episode is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/drama ... s/x/463285

Country Comes to Town - Toby Keith

When Will I Be Loved - John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen.

Child of Nature - The Beatles

I've seen Weller twice, I'm seeing Springsteen for the first time in two weeks, the Clash disbanded four years before I was born, I'm not a Prince fan and by the Cardinals do you mean the Baltimore R&B group from the 50s? Or the Ryan Adams backing band? Either way, I haven't seen them. The great...

Costello and The Who are easily the most thrilling live acts I've seen. It seems like the perfect double bill and I'm most irked I wasn't able to attend this gig.

The case for the white album: BACK IN THE USSR DEAR PRUDENCE GLASS ONION WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN MARTHA MY DEAR I'M SO TIRED BLACKBIRD PIGGIES ROCKY RACCOON DON'T PASS ME BY WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD I WILL JULIA BIRTHDAY YER BLUES MOTHER NATURE'S SON EVERYBODY'S GO...

Clearly it's Exile or the White Album. The latter has more classic songs but the former is more cohesive.

Next step: Ronson produces a McCartney/Costello duets album.

If any of you are Australian based, we're holding our Aussie premiere in Sydney at the Dendy Cinema Newtown in a couple of weeks. I'd also encourage anyone in Tamworth this month to come and see one of Jim's shows as part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival. He'll be playing a special songwriters...

A collaboration with The Specials:

WASKABI EXPLOSION.

In no particular order: 1. Buddy & Jim - Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale 2. Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls 3. Locked Down - Dr. John 4. From The Ground Up - John Fullbright 5. Red - Taylor Swift 6. Mystic Pinball - John Hiatt 7. The Sound of the Life of the Mind - Ben Folds Five 8. Born and Rai...

I recommend anyone reading this pick up a copy of the whole album. It's one of my favourite records of this year.

If anyone feels like a peek at the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8r3oJEfZ1E

Thanks for the support guys.

I'll be at the screening. Would be nice to meet any of you who feel like coming along.

That's Costello for sure, doing a brilliant kind of James Mason turn.

Just picked up a seat for The Who at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on December 2nd. Anyone else taking in a show on the Quad tour?

That lineup is almost worth visiting New Zealand for.

Almost.

Who cares if they need the money?

What a boycott would really mean in this case is 'People who can't afford the tickets don't buy them'. That's why I didn't go see the Eagles last time they came through Australia. I didn't have the cash. I didn't really consider it a boycott. Would I have liked the ticket prices to be lower? Of cour...

Well, if you've never liked them, the ticket price is kind of irrelevant.

My bankruptcy proceedings are imminent.

Anyone going? I'm going to be in the US around that time, so I'm considering it, but my wallet has crawled up into a ball in the corner and is crying itself to sleep.

Great record. You can't go past the Crouch/Bellerose rhythm section.
