Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think they're all genuine records. I love Goats Head Soup. At least, it fascinated me as a kid in the shop when it came out. I count myself lucky to have grown up in the vinyl age where sleeves took on a huge significance and yoou'd go into shops and stare at them for ages. That Squeeze cover is ...

I'm Gonna Watch You Sleep - Hamell On Trial (o how I love sweet songs by hard men)

I'll pick this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/RT_Pdls.jpg That's one of my favourite covers ever! The fold out vinyl with Linda's beautiful face on the other side, that is. It's criminal that she's not on the backside of the recent Island CD reissue. This, on the other hand...(p...

Maybe we've done the word play/pun thing already, but I'm really fond of them. Some fave lines: The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town Don't put your heart out on your sleeve when your remarks are off the cuff There's a ladder to heaven from a battered stiletto and my favourite put-...

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground - Willie Nelson

Chrille wrote:Really? Which one?

...This Town.. off your favourite album, I believe!

.......and the title track at three :? :? :? Wouldn't be in the same league as the rest of the album for me. No one ranked it as #1 (Tears & Thorn got two each) and only one #2 but no one seemed to hate it either. Then again, as with Almost Blue and Kojak Variety, not a lot of people ranked thi...

Yes he does, often. (and he once directed a very entertaining EC video)

Round And Round - Neil Young

Beat it with a jew's harp. very popular tour van game, this. My band's original drummer once nailed my word sphinx on his FIRST guess/question. What's the odds of that?

I always suspected he's turning into Eddie Hitler.

There's a Swedish saying that a good laugh prolongs your life and I owe Borat for at least a couple of years already.

Fear Is A Man's Best Friend - John Cale

Otis Westinghouse wrote:Other Songs is great. Not his best LP,

Oh but I think it is. Didn't love it at first (like the eponymous, Whereabouts or Retriever albums) but it's a grower. The Jules Shear disc is nice but a bit boring. I don't drag it out very often.

This is what we think of the man's latest succesful effort to impress the world: 1. Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? 2. Ascension Day 3. The River In Reverse 4. Freedom For The Stallion 5. The Sharpest Thorn 6. Tears, Tears & More Tears 7. Nearer To You 8. Broken Promise Land 9. Six-Fingere...

What are these bad songs on side 2? Georgie is a wonderful song but taken at a pace that does not let it breathe, really, which should work live but sounds a bit stressful on the record. Still enjoy that one a lot though. I do not like the repetitive use of the word/name Candy in that song or the w...

I'm A Rebel - Accept

Yellin' In My Ear - Operation Ivy (just to keep the Tim ball rolling)

My Top 15: Waterson-Carthy (wouldn't mind Swarb guesting either) Mose Allison John Wesley Harding John Prine Frank Black solo (especially now that he's supporting...) Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Propagandhi Daniel Johnston Leonard Cohen Randy Newman Rufus Wainwright Little Jimmy Scott Down By ...

I certainly hope not, for his sake, what with that hairy chest and all. Nice guy and splendid cocktail pianist, by the way.

Yeh Yeh, to be precise. I love that one. Get it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000006V5Z/sr=8-2/qid=1154983762/ref=sr_1_2/002-8281229-1183223?ie=UTF8 or, well, go to the top right corner link first but that's a good one. (Incidentally, it also includes that other EC cover Point Of No Return.)

Svante played on For The Stars too. Georg Wadenius used to play with Blood Sweat & Tears I think. He's recorded my favourite children's jazz album too but that's in Swedish so I guess that's as pointless as you get trivia-wise.

I voted for Mad About The Wrong Boy because I wanted to join in the absurdity. I sincerely hope whoever beat me to it was sincere though.
