Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Who wants to pay my airfare? First round's on me!

What a fucking goal by Rooney today. I'm no kind of Man United fan, but my jaw hit the floor when that went in. Pretty vexing season overall as a Chelsea fan. Still in the FA Cup (for now) and CL but really struggling domestically. Starting to wonder if we might be playing Europa league again next s...

Wow, working great now. Faster than ever! Thanks!

I'm sure it will be a mix of everything, but I'd like to hear some of the lesser heard tunes from Get Happy!! He played a couple in Atlantic City a few years ago at that New Year's Show.

Ice Nine wrote of this previously but got to see it last night myself- "El Secreto De Sus Ojos"- which won the Best Foreign Film Oscar this past year. These type of films do not come into my area often so I rented it. A most impressive film. The title tells a lot about how the film is sho...

What's the point of signing up with the EC site if they don't alert you when the tix go on sale? Luckily I saw a tweet from MSG, who own/run the Beacon. Otherwise I would have been out of luck.

Just saw the tweet from MSG, who run the Beacon. Thank you for the code!

Row A, Seat 17 in Orchestra. Could not be happier!

Hope you've checked out Elbow's 'Lippy Kids' on their site. I was smitten on first hearing. 'Neat Little Rows', out soon as a single, grabbed me less. The Word's review of it this week has me excited. They say they've gone for subtlety. No anthems. Lots of loveliness. They only make superb LPs. Yes...

Two big ones on the horizon - Fleet Foxes and Elbow. Really cannot wait for these two to arrive.

No info yet on the NY shows?

I felt a little let down by the Coen's True Grit. Maybe because I had seen the original just recently and remembered it so fondly from years ago when I first saw it. But I think the true source of my disappointment was that I was expecting a little more Coen spin. I think this version hardly breaks...

Doc, posted on the Spinning Songbook thread just a few minutes ago and it took an eternity. Still having major problems. FWIW I never have problems in this forum, only the Annex and EC forums. This sounds like a hint that the busiest and biggest forums might need some database clean up or optimizat...

WSS- know that one intimately which is why I noted its quoting in the new "True Grit": "One final treat was to hear Iris Dement[always a treat] singing you out of the theater to the strains of "Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting Lord] yet another 'quote' to yet another...

Enjoyed The King's Speech and True Grit immensely. Not a fan of Black Swan and its mix of psychodrama and horror elements. How did this film receive so much praise? Christopher - I too loved the use of the Iris Dement version of "Leaning on the Everlasting Arm". There is another great use ...

Wish I could afford/make all three, but it's looking like the Monday show at the Beacon for me. Wife is in Brazil the week before that. Still, cannot wait. I was at the Olympia and Folies Bergere shows in Paris. I believe that both featured the Spinning Songbook, but I could be wrong, since it was j...

So happy for you guys!! Two close friends both had baby girls this week. How cool is that?

Colin Meloy is very talented and I've enjoyed some of the Decemberists stuff. They are also a very, very good live band. Still, there is something about them on record that is too studied, too precious for me. I'm hoping this album changes my perspective and will give it a try. The King is Dead is ...

Will be getting!

What would be the collective noun for a group of Elvises?

A sneer?

Chicago Riot, an indoor soccer club based in the Windy City, is celebrating "Double Elvis Night" on January 9. Fans who dress up as either Elvis receive free Lager Riot standing room tickets, with upgrades to seating areas available at the ticket window. Festivities extend to halftime as ...

Haha some crap lipsynching. EC not even trying.

Enjoying these as the snow falls this afternoon here in New York. Oh my do they sound fantastic!
