Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I would have liked for 15 Petals and Dust 2 to show much higher, otherwise I approve this list. *STAMP*

Can someone PLEASE explain to me with charts and graphs just what is so great about the Stone Roses? I've heard it, and I just don't feel it. Whenever I see them at the top of a poll like this I think ""bandwagon sheep"... Not enough Elvis, either. Also, OK Comp is better than The Ben...

I guess most EC fans are WOOD DRAGONS like me.

When I saw him & the Imposters at the Hard Rock in Vegas a couple of years ago, the "Dust" jam was one of the highlights for me.

I prefer Dust 2 to Dust, album-wise...

One of my fave EC albums. Manages to skirt the fence of overproduction that others (particularly MLAR) were toppled from. 1. When I Was Cruel No. 2 ( Masterpiece? ;) ) 2. 15 Petals (He tried to warn us all was not well) 3. Tear Off Your Own Head 4. Episode Of Blonde 5. Dust 2... 6. Spooky Girlfriend...

Heehee, I had a huge set of Koss cans like those when I did college radio in the 80s. They were like Princess Leia's hairdo but damn they sounded good...

Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas album: TEH GREATEST EVAR. Also great: Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (the whole album) A Christmas Gift from Phil Spector Various (Postpunk) Artists - The Edge of Christmas Various (Traditional Jazz) Artists - God Rest Ye Merry Jazzmen Various (Jazz/Swing...

I don't kow if I've bought 10 new CDs this year, let alone be able to rate them. 2005 CDs I bothered purchasing/acquiring: Doves - Some Cities Gorillaz - Demon Days New Order - Waiting for the Siren's Call Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel Original Broadway Cast - The Light in the Piazza The Like - A...

Wasn't there a whole karaoke scene in his movie True Stories, which came out in '86? It's in the video for Wild Wild Life, too...I remember John Goodman being one of the singers, before he was "Roseanne" famous.

My roommate gave me a copy not knowing the connection, and I listened to it not knowing the connection either and liked it, and now I came across this thread...who'da thunk?

DAJ_Glass and FSGreen are nice...

^ That's if you even have access to those options on a public computer. If not, then changing the password is the thing to do.

Staff probably clear those things every night, but you never know who's also copying the stuff to their little USB keys...

Then I guess I break that mold--I'm an old crank as well, but I find WIWC just as vital as I did TYM when I was young. Not all of EC's newer stuff compares favorably to "the classics", but I easily place "Monkey to Man" (for example) among his best all-time singles. BTW, I found ...

I love threads like this, as they provide a test for the abilities of members to post their gut reactions without being snarky or downright rude. ;) Well, TYM has its place in history secured, so I'll use the only test I know: right now I have most of WIWC on the majority of my iPod playlists, but n...

I think it's a matter of degrees of like more than like/dislike. I don't hate any of the songs, but if they have to be ranked, something's got to be at the bottom...

I do wish Clown Strike and RHR landed a little higher, though.

I have almost 4000 songs on my iPod, and at least 7 or 8 active playlists for different purposes. The shortest one is about 175 songs, so I'm not sure how I could post one here. I can tell you the last 5 songs that just played: Bob Dylan - What Was It You Wanted - Oh Mercy Rickie Lee Jones - Away Fr...

"Don't try to wake me in the morning, for I will be gone"

It should be noted (or maybe it's completely unnecessary) that even if a song is ranked low, it doesn't mean the song is disliked . It justs means people are fonder of other songs. 1 Rocking Horse Road 2 Clown Strike 3 Thirteen Steps Lead Down 4 Londons Brilliant Parade 5 Sulky Girl 6 You Tripped at...

Well, so much for the planned stage show... 'Buffy' Stage Show Shut Down [/url] (Thursday, October 20 10:35 AM) LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Dark forces have shut down in a stage production of the musical episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." But instead of demons, it was lawyers who put a st...

Anyone in the SF/CA area might find this worth a look: 'Buffy' Musical Lives Again [/url] Tuesday, October 11 02:12 PM LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) "Once More, with Feeling," the musical episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," is being brought back to life once more. Ten more times, a...

I didn't get into it until I started watching the reruns on FX network. I caught it in the later seasons and got hooked then, so I'm backwards from most fans who think that the show went downhill post-Angel/Cordy/Oz etc. I bought all 7 seasons on DVD, and I actually prefer watching seasons 4-7. (OK,...

Oooo, I was at that show. I may have to get into this whole torrent thing...

Among the lineup of stars to honor the special guest Elvis Costello will be

Hmm...sounds like he's been invited but hasn't necessarily RSVPd yet...

Being a showtune-luvin' EC freak, I would love to go to this, but the price! Oy!

Just reg'd and posted: 1. My Aim Is True - I don't think this is the universal classic others do, but it's worth it for Blame It on Cain, Watching the Detectives and Red Shoes alone. Not bad considering he didn't even have the Attracitons yet... 2. Get Happy!! - So many songs, enough of them will st...

If you still have a laserdisc player, then yeah, it caught on.
