Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Just wanted to share that I'm going to see Elvis at London Royal Albert Hall in may 24th \o/ \o/ \o/

Yeah, that's right, if Mohammed will not go to the mountain...

OMG! I love Ronan Keating, ok. Fangirl mode ON.

And I think he was too respectful to the original song. He should have modernized it a bit.

I usually don't like alternate versions, remixes and stuff like that. Even if it's the composer himself who does it (Elvis does it a lot and I don't like it). Because I'm kinda "jealous" with the songs I love and when I saw this I was like "Oh god, don't you dare to fuck up what is pr...

Like I already said in another thread, I love Everyday I Write the Book from Tim Festival. I kinda learnt to love this song from this performance. And also from Tim Festival, Uncomplicated is my favorite. http://youtu.be/_eWJDo5PPaI Like someone mentioned, I Want You from this show is killer too. Th...

I just love these two. <3 <3 <3

I did not know the other coach to say what his name was and I spent 5 minutes nearly breaking my tongue NOT saying 'he's the BLACK coach.' I always do the opposite. When I'm refering to someone who's black and I don't know his/her name I say "the black guy/girl". I have no problem with th...

3. If he had declared a heterosexaul relationship on FB - would there have even have been a post here? I find this discussion very interesting because, it's funny for me how it's still a big deal when people come out of the closet. I'm so used to it: most of my friends are gay, most of the people w...

I pre-ordered the DVD. And I guess I should forget about it for a while as the delivery estimate date is april 19. :s

I'm not in a hurry anyway.

This is the cutest thing EVER!

And this tumblr blog is awesome.

This is from today's newspaper https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/378603_2993189274968_1419256601_33179220_649650253_n.jpg I can translate it later (right now I have to get ready for the New Year's Party at Copacabana Beach. 8) ) but the article is on how music industry is investin...

I've worked at a classical music radio station, have met some peple in the classical world and, yes, I noticed that too.

I would like to see that map. I'm gonna look for it.

Excerpt from the book High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (which all of you guys must have already read. I'm rereading it right now) “We are so happy, in fact, that between throwing the customers out and leaving for the day, we list our top five Elvis Costello songs (I go for “Alison”, “Little Triggers”, “...

I was just going to make this question to you guys.
I really want the book. I was worried it would only be avaiable in this package. Good to know that I'll be able to buy it separately later.

What about buying a second hand LP? Is that legal? I hope it is, krm, 'cause I've been doing that a lot lately. :p By the way, I've been spending all my savings buying vinyl. :shock: I need help. Just another curious fact and also good news: The only vinyl factory in Latin America, which is located...

You seem to blend the two means of acquisition, legal and illegal, in your explanation of how you acquire music- that disturbs me. No, I don't and I think I made it clear (if I didn't, I'm sorry). Despite my few years of life experience I know the difference between wrong and right, legal and illeg...

Guys, I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm not saying download is a right thing. I'm just saying it's inevitable and since it's inevitable people should find other ways to cope with that. Also I'm not saying that music and entertainment industry must end and we should go back to the troubadours e...

By the time Radiohead did that, they had millions of fans who had been buying their records for years and had a loyalty to their brand. Sure, that's what I'm talking about. They had conquered a fanbase despite the download thing and this fanbase is what will keep their carrer going (not just record...

But if i like them, I then buy them (one reason is not very noble, because the quality of downloaded stuff on 600 dollar earphones is just unbearable). the other reason is because i want that artist to continue making music and want, in some very very very small way, to contribute to that. And that...

I have this unpopular opinion that everything must be shared and the way we think about authorship and authoral rights is a little mistaken. I am very uncomfortable with your seeming willingness to dismiss and abuse a basic legal precedent: Intellectual Property. By all means share but with proper ...

Every recording artist has been negatively affected by piracy. If something is available to be had for free, there are plenty of people who will take it rather than pay. Of course, all of us here will go out and buy CD or vinyl copies of his latest record, but you can't have a proper career caterin...

The problem is to listen to it 'properly' I'll need to play it on iPod through hi-fi, and I know I will just be annoyed at how inferior the 228 bit rate will sound compared to 1411 off a CD. And no sleeve notes to read! I use my iPod loads and love it, but it beats me how you could be a 'true music...

if this is intended as publicity for a product coming in 2012 then...there's a clear disconnect here, most people don't remember what they had for lunch! How many music fans do you know who only have downloaded files? True music fans want everything they can get their hands on. As for the others, t...

Indulge me as I repost a comment I posted here on Sep 28, 2011 - It's going to be embarrassing watching this thing being reduced to clear...if good for those of us who will wait to buy! Persuading people to pay some of the outrageous ticket prices that featured for some of the U.S. gigs is one thin...

And to History History, I LOVE YOU! <3 <3 <3 - Just in case it's true... :roll: :lol: Why thank you, Natasha - I love you too - even though you look like Elsie :) I know! Of course you love me - I can read it in your songs - but stop spreading this lie that I look like Elsie. :P
