Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Very true...and as they went on..they really did some great stuff. The 80's saw them sounding more like new wave..but 89's Dark at the End of the Tunnel was fantastic..and so was the self titled Boingo Album from 94 Really a good band that should have had more exposure..Most people that know of the...

Yeah..it was the cat you see in psychology textbooks... The tracks were Only A Lad Ain't This the Life I'm So Bad Violent Love Always great fun music...wish Danny Elfman would go back to that on the side... I enjoy his film scores..but his "pop/rock" music (whatever you want to call it) w...

With all his talk of how long we've gone without.. I'm tempted to go on an Elvis strike.. Wait...I haven't really listened to him in a few days..cos it's close to Halloween..and at Halloween I must listen to Oingo Boingo.. So maybe I already have..and just didn't know it. So..let's see how long I c...

More than a year I think. I went through a period a few years ago where all I listened to was jazz. Think it was during EC's "beard years." I remember seeing his appearance on Saturday Night Live and being shocked. Was that embroidered cap ugly or what? The nice thing is that once I dived ...

I enjoyed seeing EC's appearance on Dave last night, as I missed it the first time around. Nice performance of "Still." He really seems to enjoy performing on "Late Night" and chatting with Dave.

I think it's a good idea. There are a number of other sites I use that have click-throughs to Amazon and it seems to work well.

Wow. Will have to get this. I don't have any of Cash's more recent stuff, so this sounds like it would be right up my alley.

Forget Stuttgart, tonight was more fun, even if the bastards didn't have it on ITV1 or 2, nor highlights. Chelsea did a bit better than last time! Arsene will just have to admit he has a CL blockage. It's been such a satisfying week. Lehmann's blunder in Kiev to take the wind out of Arsenal's CL sa...

I have been returning to Hail to the Thief again and again over the past several months. I think it is outstanding. I don't think that there are any "duff" tracks to be honest. I find just about everything they do interesting, and how many bands can you say that about? An underrated album ...

Over-dramatic then, Sam. Have there not been some bloody awful reviews of North in the US, or am I making that up? One of the best anywhere was in Word magazine, which is, um, English. I just hate his flippant disregard for the British audience, most of which, taking a wild guess here, are not musi...

POP:

I am not "hysterical." Read my post again. I did say that "You have to wonder if he'll keep his word..."

I doubt it, but it shows you how angry he is about the UK media...

Wow. Worth a listen. EC doesn't sound too happy about the reception North received in the UK. You have to wonder if he will keep his word about never playing the UK again. Some of you may have just seen him live for the last time.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Mug!

My $.02 on Bruce: Listening again to the re-issues, especially "Get Happy!!," you realize how much his bass lines contributed to making that album a success. For me, it represents the Attractions at the top of their game. Maybe not EC's greatest artistic achievement, but for the sound of t...

Bah. Bad mistake by Cudicini. A flukey deflection and a goalkeepers' error gift Arsenal three points. We never get anything from this fixture.

Bah! The Cubbies and Red Sox both blew it! Don't really care who wins now.

Here it is folks:

Imperial Bedroom, probably. But I have a soft spot for Get Happy!! too.

Saw the Australian film Rabbit-Proof Fence this past weekend and liked it a lot. With two kids under the age of three, we don't get out to the movies much anymore, but I would like to see that new Clint Eastwood picture, Mystic River, with Tim Robbins and Sean Penn.

Who in the wangdoodle is Jimmy Kimmel? Late night talk show host here in the States, well behind Letterman and *ugh* Jay Leno. Used to have a rather crude half-hour show on Comedy Central called "The Man Show," sort of like a TV version of Maxim or FHM, but more tongue in cheek. I know I'...

So is evil, hateful rhetoric. When Jerry Garcia died, Rush referred to him as "just another dead doper." Why should I have any sympathy for someone so callous and so hypocritical?

Terrible review. She contradicts herself. Is she saying that North is too spare and austere? If so, why does she refer to it as "overlarded"? Contrast this with the excellent and thoughtful review by David Hajdu from The New Republic. I don't know what Salon has against EC, but they also d...

I like how he refers to it as "medication" as opposed to "drugs." Sounds much more innocent, doesn't it? Anyone think that Attorney General John Ashcroft will get personally involved in prosecution of Rush, as he has in the case of Tommy Chong, who's been sent up the river for ni...

Limbaugh confirmed today that he's a junkie. I love it when a hypocrite takes a fall. I have zero sympathy for this hateful windbag. Limbaugh Says He's Addicted to Painkillers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 3:12 p.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh announced during his r...

I've spent about a week and a half with this album, and have listened to it about 20 or so times. I must say that when I read the interviews with EC over the summer I was both excited and apprehensive - excited that EC was so enthusiastic about these tunes but apprehensive about this new, more strai...
