Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Well if he is saying that the Beatles influence modern music then he has to admit that Elvis Presley , having influenced the Beatles, IS an influence, albeit second hand. Also you could point to the Smiths and Morrissey having been influenced hugely by Elvis P - just listen to Russholme Ruffians nex...

Got Time on Earth a few days ago, this has been getting pretty lukewarm reviews, but as usual the truth seems to be somewhat different. While on the first few listens its not quite in the same league as "Together Alone" it still seems to be a set full of typically great lyrics and some rea...

And more with the wonders of modern technology, we have video of Blue taking the stage at our wedding!

Excellent!

Blue - shouldnt you be on a honeymoon or something?

Welcome to the "married mans" hell, I mean, club!

Otis - Well yeah, I dont know whats with that title. BCB is indeed a pretty diverse crowd, and as such , can be rather frustrating , but if you can ignore the odd contrary, crazy or ill mannered thread - like the one you linked to - then you will find a wealth of knowledge in a lot of the posters th...

Im not sure what the story is with the American release of Those The Brokes, but it seems to be missing a track or two from the European release - no Carls Song - perhaps a reaction to the "too long" criticisms. But I really dont see what the critics are griping about on this record. Im on...

I dont believe anything "critics" say anymore, its just got ridiculous. Word of mouth from boards such as these and BCB are far more reliable. The best thing about the net is you can usually get a listen to anything from either an ITUNES snippet or download one song, or from the Hype Machi...

Its quite Elton Johnny , with a bit of classical and a big of boogie. The piano, as you would expect, is brilliant. George Harrison plays guitar and Mick Taylor, and its a wonderful set of songs.

You will have all heard him , just on other peoples records , piano session dude supreme. This is his second solo record from 1973. I really like his voice too. Excerpts from his Wikipedia entry - Played with The Kinks, Donovan The Rolling Stones (Between the Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request...

brilliant brilliance of the bestest highest awesomeness.

Everybodys Happy Nowadays - one of my favourite songs of all time.
3 minutes 12 seconds of perfect guitar pop.


The Raspberries

Yom Kippur?

Never heard of them.

Are there any other essential purchases than Blue, Court and Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns? (the latter is my favourite so far) This could be a really great record, looking foward to it. As the others have said "Hejira" is a must have, but if you like "Summer Lawns" I wo...

Lots to choose from -

hmmm - Flowers in the Rain - from his Move days.


1910 Fruitgum Company

See America - from the excellent Mobilize album.



Yes

Last nights was the best episode yet, with the David Bowie dream sequences and the song 'Bowie in Space' - complete with the "Lets Dance" version sung over the credits.

Mel , the one fan/stalker cracks me up.

The Dukes Of Stratosphear
Chips From The Chocolate Fireball

Yeah, Ive had that Springsteen boot for ages, and its fantastic - and you have to wonder what his record company were thinking with his offical live releases being so mediocre when great stuff like this exists - and there are plenty more - an incredible live performer who's offical live output is in...

Here's a bunch of Ryan Adams alternate versions from the Easy Tiger sessions

I love that electric version of Oh My God Whatever, etc . Great great song.

Turn to Stone, Time Out, County Fair, Help Me Make It Through The Night, Song for Emma.

...(and PMs to answer!).

Don't tell us, let us guess - 25 year old girls wanting to take you clubbing.

Unless he is opening for God, I don't see how E.C. can be an opening act.

He opened for the Stones not so long ago - which I guess is similar.

I take (hic) offensh to thish (hic) remark! I love you guyyysss!!!!! (hic) (stumble).

What a coincidence, that Allen Ginsberg should appear on a Golf cart just as Dylan is driving past.
