Re: T-Bone / Dylan project: Lost On The River
Married To My Hack doesn't do much for me. Lack of melody is a problem. Elvis seems to stumble around " A carburator" or is it just my ears?

If we are told

There'll be no ___?___ left to count
No poison left to drink
The low hanging Thanksgiving tree still dares above the truth
From the being(?) in sour earth and strange and bitter fruit
The second ? sounds like "digits".

Re: Phil Chevron RIP
Phil and the rest of The Pogues provided me with much fun, quality music and excuses to drink.
I remember sitting in a pub in Sheffield in 85/86 before a show when all The Pogues walked in, had a look round, saw it was full of studenty types and then promptly departed.
RIP Phil

Re: Listen to Elvis Costello play KZEW DJ (in 1983!)
That list takes me back. That year I bought the Style Council ep, the Aztec Camera lp and Carmel 12". Can't say I have played many recently - may have to dig them out.

This review appears on the official site with the title "Your Wish Is My Command" . Perhaps it’s time for Elvis Costello to lay his career to a much overdue rest. Surely not Elvis on a downer already? The album may not have reached the number on the front cover but has had mainly fantasti...

Hurray CD just arrived! Smells good, CD took a bit of a tug to get out but no glue, sounds.....well just as good as the copy I've been listening to for the last couple of weeks but without those annoying hiccups between tracks when you have burnt mp3 files. Nice long trip in the car today solo so ca...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
So it has. That'll probably be the reason for the climb in the chart. Maybe the cheaper cds are sourced from Hong Kong and they may or may not arrive in about 2 weeks.invisible Pole wrote:Hasn't the price gone down from 14.99$ to 11.88$ ?
Now that's a bargain for the deluxe edition.

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
Interesting to see that the album has started to climb the Amazon US chart again, back up to 11 today after dropping to 21 earlier in the week. It would be great if this album could sell over a longer period of time than usual and not disappear quickly.

What're your thoughts on the best follow-up 'single'? Sugar Won't Work is probably the only song that wouldn't need shortening. Mrs John likes it so maybe this one? Tripwire and Conco Minutos Con Vos are gorgeous so maybe one of these? Piano ballads have been popular for a while so maybe If I Could...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
Not really into remixes - but good to hear that Elvis has gone Top 20 with the album. Now they just need to keep it in people's consciousness - I really think that a radio edit of the title track would draw in a lot more interest. Surely a second "single" would make a load of sense. The v...
