Elvis Costello Fan Forum

if i ever start a band, i'll call it If We Crash, Try Not to Die.

mmm. boots. licking. must...keep...kinks...away from...fandom... heh. what was i gonna say again? oh, right. "...Dust" - the way he says "sonny" in the juggernaut verse. all low-down and growly and mmm. of course, nothing beats "I Want You" for smash-head-against-wall a...

i recently bought the vinyl version of Spike and the cover scares me a little bit. i absolutely love cover art. one of the things that's always disappointed me about EC is that his album covers tend to be either kinda cheesy or alarming. dunno, maybe that's just me. that said, i like the cover of TY...

what the hell? i get it every time i post a reply. every time , which is why i'm almost completely absent from the board. can't post except for new threads, which is pointless if you want to join a conversation. i'm having a hard time getting this through, too. if you read this, this is the nth time...

it's like England's devided into three parts: Fishandchiplington, Kebabistan, and Curryville. is curry chicken any less nasty than it sounds? and must the supermarkets sell it in cans? (and did anyone catch the Self rip-off there?) and what's up with the prawn puffs? and the pickled-onion flavor chi...

(am I the only one still getting this 'invalid_session' bit? it's making it impossible for me to post.) They had a bit in some paper recently that had some guy walking around famous monuments, asking stupid questions and rating each city for their rudeness. I think the best one was when he stood dir...

only cd i've bought recently is Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Ragged Glory vinyl purchases: Bauhaus - She's in Parties single stickfigurecarousel - s/t 7" At the Drive In - Relationship of Command (already had it on cd, but it was cheap and i <3 vinyl) Sage Francis - Personal Journals only dow...

i have (checks watch) 5 minutes left online here, but i've already checked my email and though i really have nothing to say, i'm just checking in to say hi. and stuff. i'm currently in kilkenny, ireland. good place, good place. saw an amazing Pogues cover band last week called the Shamrogues. check ...

oooohhh. pretty.


although my head wants the two circles to be in the middle of their respective rows. like the red and blue 'elvis costello' boxes are.

well, i read them over again, and hey - i called it right the first time. competent, intermittently amusing lyrics. not bad enough to cringe, occasionally better than okay, sexy-ish. but no sting. or...no, that's not quite the right word... i mean..."clown strike" is one of my all-time fav...

mmmm. gay porn.



it would explain the tiff between Elvis and Bruce, though, eh?

i'm sorry, i read too much slash, and therefore interpret everything is gay. it's been ingrained in my psyche. nnnnnner.

he really does talk alot, doesn't he?

"Maybe this is the love song that I refused to
Write her when I loved her like I used to."



mmmhmmm.

"I want to kiss you in a rush
And whisper things to make you blush"


this album may very well turn out to be an Album To Have Sex To.

i bought Green Day's Dookie at a yard sale.


i think the first single i bought was Camera Obscura, "To Paint a Kettle Black." i bought it because it was clear blue, but it turned out to be an amazing record. go me.

AIM is a prerequisite for my generation.


i'm usually on as what came before (no caps, two spaces). anyone who wants to can chat.

oh, i hate this kind of thing. because i always put albums on that i think *should* be there, rather than the albums i really want to put on. you know? like i automatically stuff on so i seem like i have Good Taste.


so, i just don't post lists like this. bwarfg3.

...bored like a 2x4.





if that doesn't work, right-click and open this in a new window:

because my images seem jinxed on this site.

sulky girl:

whenever that stuff comes up, your post still went through (probably), so you just have to open the page again.

aaahhh man...i had a dream like a year ago that Elvis was playing guitar in the middle of the staircase in my house. my dad was like, "dude, you're in the way, move." then Elvis got all snippity and left.



my dreams suck.

try searching on google images. always worth a look-see.

i've got nothing to add, but to who shot sam: Ted Leo gets mad <3 from me. as does Cat Power.

you know who should open for Elvis? Clem Snide. they'd be absofreakinglutely perfect.

or, you know, any number of underground-ish pop bands that are infinitely better than Chris Whatshisname.

my burning question is: has Elvis mastered the art of non-sappy love songs? my head says "yes, of course, he's ELVIS, he can do anything." but...i dunno. i have a great fear that i'm gonna pop in the cd and i'm gonna hear simplistic crappy love lyrics (like Painted From Memory in reverse)....

i am the queen of the invalid session. i OWN the invalid session.


word.



was there an email address left on the official EC site that we could ask for a link to here? that might invite certain...undesirables, but we'd be able to monitor things that an official board might not.


or something.
