Elvis Costello Fan Forum

The folks over at Costello-l didn't have any fun comments on my clips so I'll post an additional one here. Hopefully it will bring Monkey Girl some memories (albeit unpleasant). IS this the girl who hit you (the woman on the recording singing in my ear)? <<Okay, so I have one more file with the hell...

I turned to the crazy closest to me and told her to go back where she came from and she called me a B---- and punched me in the stomach! My husband did not like that very much and he turned to her and she punched him in the face! He got a fat lip....and was bleeding! At that point he held her back ...

Welcome to the newcomers. My theory is it was zebrasnake going mental there. She reckoned there must have been at least one board member in the vicinity and decided to get her own back. LOL Otis! I'm just back after a few months because Martin said he posted some of the clips here. I didn't know th...

Gilli and others, I'm glad to hear you and your loved ones are alright! I've had my London map out all afternoon trying to figure out if others I know there may have been near the blasts. I know the odds are excellent that they are okay, but it's so frightening not hearing from them.

Jill

I'd be bummed to be separated from the boys by that large lake! Still, seems like it was a really cool gig! Hope all of you Londoners are alright today...please check in and let us know you are alright!

Hello! I'll be at both the Portland and Spokane shows with my friend, if anyone wants to meet up call my cell:

510-459-8338 Don't be shy!

I'll probably be near the venue both nights. It's always fun to meet other fans even if it's in line. Gimme a call and we can make some plans!

Although it looks like we were getting sprayed, I didn't feel one drop and I was right in front of him! That's only happened once to me :-) It was fun up front, but the audience had to be fairly sedate in order not to upset the people behind them. It was great that we got the last part of the show s...

Well that description covers about every chick in the hall, but I may remember which girl he was talking about...cute short bob with curly hair...this guy's net is too wide...he needs to say short or long hair, what shade of brunette, what kind of glasses (wire or plastic, small or large), and what ...

Egads! Who in the world can pick a favorite? I was coincidentally thinking about this very thing last night as I was driving home listening to a recording of an Attractions show circa 1987. I really love Steve and appreciate him, but I feel that Pete is my favorite socially and I think he's absolute...

So does this mean he'll be in Europe for his birthday again? I was hoping he'd book the Fillmore and do a show for the big day

Jill

Not to keep sounding like a broken record or anything, but I'm still hoping the full Delivery Man project gets given a proper chance. I think it could be really great. Then again, I'm the sort that thinks that they could write a fabulous musical based on Elvis' work.

Jill

I've not heard the official song yet, but that's amazing that they're playing tracks already! It's a rocking song, I don't know about Austin Powers 'cause it isn't a novelty song, but it is a clever one. When I heard it live, I thought it was a bash against Bush (like Bush is the vicious creature th...

Definitely Rufus, although that would be a huge show. Many fans does Rufus have! He fills places like the Fillmore in San Francisco. Hrmm. Rufus would be great, but alas, I'd need at least two hours with each act!

Got 'em at the Emeryville, CA Circuit City for $11.99 each. I was thrilled!

I had to ask because they didn't have them out yet. Sheesh, I coulda saved a bunch by not going to Tower, but I had a $20 Gift Cert. and it came to $20.65 for ONE CD (Goodbye Cruel World).

Jill

I love it!! It's worth the price of admission for "Gigi" and "Upon A Veil..." and especially "Poor Napoleon". He even messes up the lyrics in PN!!

Then again, I'm weird and love everything!

Il Sogno was originally written as the Orchestral Music for the ballet "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as choreographed and performed by Aterballeto, an Italian Dance company. It was performing in Orange County about two years ago, and I think maybe two people I know went to see it. It has bee...

Yes, I actually own the EC karaoke album :-) There was an article once that asked Elvis why he didn't have any Karaoke songs out there, and he said something to the effect that they couldn't fit the words on the screen 'er something. I was so excited when I found the disc because they never have had...

When in the world did he give handprints for a walk of fame?? He's not on the Hollywood Walk of fame, so what could it be...plus they give out stars, not handprints! :-) Maybe that was when he was in Hollywood for the show in 2002 at the Ford theatre? Very odd, and funny that he used gloves...little...

"Well, there's an old man's fantasy
Put in a young girl's mouth."

Dirty Gertie! I was saving that one for later! I'm glad someone posted it b4 me! How about

"When I'm talking in tongues I go where you lead
I don't make you plead, oh I need you "?

This *is* really, really exciting news!! I'm eagerly ancticipating this album. Almost serendipitously my friend sent me an article about the boys from the dB's touring Memphis right before I left for the Oxford gigs. It talked about Alex Chilton and Big Star and how the boys from the dB's went and v...

You put a penny in the slot
She called you her Magic Fingers

Love it! Although I'd say it was a larger denomination than a penny! Dirty or not?

Jill

I always thought it was a salacious lyric about either self-pleasure or sneaking a lover into the TV room. Of course I always heard it as "So your father won't know". BTW it was great to hear LTZ at the Proud Larry's gig and at Santa Rosa!! How about "There's a boy somewhere holding h...

I heard that WTTWW!! I was over here typing on this forum about Prince and it came on...I was shocked and got happy!! I didn't know the name of the show off the top of my head (usually watching American Idol so I can yell at the TV a little), but I love Christine Buranski! I won tickets from a radio...

Gosh yeah, I was telling an 18 year old the other day that since he was a musician that Prince was required listening...Prince and Elvis Costello! I scored tickets to Prince for June and I'm so terribly excited! He was my first concert in 1984 and here we are 20 years later! I had a terrible crush o...

I love lyrics....lyrics are very important to me

I'm terrible at order but:

Imperial Bedroom
King Of America
Blood and Chocolate
Spike
Taking Liberties (that counts right?)

These are the most evocative ones for me.

Jill (who loves different things about each one and could list all at the top!)
