I've only very recently heard The Juliet letters and quite frankly I almost slit my wrists...that woman's shrill tones were almost unbearable to listen to Maybe you bought one of the interpretations of the piece by somebody else (Kerry-Anne Kurz, for example)??

Elvis' MySpace featured playlist

Just received an ad for EC's "featured playlist" on MySpace music....don't know how old this is, as I can't find it on the website. But here are the six songs Elvis lists as "Songs I Like With Biscuits": Know Your Rights--The Clash In the News--Kris Kristofferson Going Back to Ok...

Re: Club Date Blu-ray

I bought the Blu-Ray a while back but have never bought a Blu Ray player yet. However I did see the HD broadcast of this on Palladia in December and it was awesome picture quality, much better than the standard DVD. I assume the Blu Ray would look great too.

He WAS making it up. If you watch the Behind the Scenes clip, Elton tells Elvis he made it up as he went. Elvis was fooled, too.

Oh, and when they got inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, he got Elvis' statuette and called to get them switched, but apparently there had been an "accident" with his. This makes it sound like Elvis threw it against the wall when he saw it belonged to Bruce. If you remember the Hall ...

Malta Festival Poland June 28, 2008 TV Broadcast

Hi all EC's performance in Poland this past June was televised in two parts there, and fellow Forum member Invisible Pole was industrious enough to record the broadcasts and kind enough to send me a copy so that I might help bring this show to EC fans around the globe. So, I would like to offer DVDs...

On the official website, Elvis or his people quote the article that notes the album title and says "No such record exists or is scheduled at present".

Elvis is no longer listed as a guest on Kimmel's website. Actually he never was, but Rick Springfield is now listed. So I guess he cancelled.

Re: Elvis to do MAIT show with Clover, San Fran, Nov. 8 '07

On You Tube, there are now pro-shot videos in black and white from one of the shows. They seem to be legitimately posted by the Richard Delone charity. So far they have posted the first 3 songs, maybe they plan to keep going! Wonder if there will be a DVD release? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztZc...

Reading Cheryl's notes reminded me of a couple more things. EC prefaced the playing of "Sulfur to Sugar Cane" by relating how on the Dylan tour, he would alter the last verse for each town they played, as I'm sure folks who saw that tour last year remember. Last night, he did a long last v...

Changes to Official EC site ($$$)

They've updated the site at elviscostello.com, finally adding lyrics, songs from 30:10, and downloads. The big change is that there's a members only thing now, and you have to pay $35 a year to be a member! No more free presale privileges.

I picked this up after John let us know where it could be acquired, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Especially the analysis of the music and the playing. That syllable discussion is a great example of something you wouldn't think about unless someone went to the trouble to point it out.
