Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Police, Elvis Costello and the Imposters help Superpages.com crowd party like it's 1983 12:00 AM CDT on Thursday, May 22, 2008 By CHRIS VOGNAR / The Dallas Morning News cvognar@dallasnews.com It's always a thrill to see a two-act bill featuring headliner-worthy acts. But it's even better when they ...

Elvis was great as usual! He was still sporting the black polka-dot shirt and the "throwback" sideburns. Didn't he wear the same shirt in the old "A Case for Song" video as well as Storytellers? Any hoo..... He began about 5 minutes early and ran through 11 songs in 50 minutes. (...

I will be there with the wife, another couple & 2 teenagers.....wohoo! Adults are in the 9th row... a little right of the stage. Teenagers are in 2nd section...middle. Yea...we paid too much for tickets...but hey...it's only money...right? Maybe Sting will get ill during EC's set & we'll get...

I was just curious what EC's son Matthew looked like these days

Thanks

We forgot a very important 2 CD set....."The Very Best of Elvis Costello" Yea...Yea...I know...but I tell you..I absolutely wore CD2 out and CD1 is close. I mean..who can argue with this play list? 1. Big Tears 2. Beyond Belief 3. Lipstick Vogue 4. Green Shirt 5. Pills & Soap 6. Tramp ...

Damn tough one here.....For me, it's KOA....That may change a couple of months from now. It goes in cycles for me.

I was listening/watching some European golf tournament on the golf channel while surfing the web on the computer. When one of the golfers hit a tee shot in the fairway, the British announcer said..."Nice shot, he's out there Safe as Houses "...I had to smile...I had not heard this phrase o...

Interesting...thank you I found the Mina song on an EC site... Down near the bottom of this page. http://www.elvis-costello.net/audio.php "Listen to the song that Elvis Costello sampled on 'When I was Cruel 2' The song is sung by the great Italian 'pop diva' Mina who recorded the song in 1966/6...

Can someone please enlighten me (and the wife)....What are the background singers saying?.....Point? Boink?

"When I was Cruel"..good stuff!...and he had the courtesy to wear a stocking cap to cover up the bad haircut he had in those days
Loved his guitar playing in this.

I'm a little embrrassed to admit, but tonight the family and I were watching "America's Got Talent". When they dismissed "Butterscotch the beatboxer" and showing her highlights, they played "She". I sang along to annoy my wife & 16-yr-old son. They give me grief for...

Well, I just watched "A Case for Song" DVD version. I only cued up the ones that weren't one the VHS..which I've had for some time. The six songs that were on the DVD, but not on VHS were outstanding.....well, I'm not that fond of this version of "Almost Blue". 1. Temptation - Go...

As for how he sings things ... well there's so many things to choose from. Um... I'll say the entire performance of "Riot Act" - but in particular the "when the HEAT gets SUBTROPICAL" and "why do you talk such STUPID NONSENSE" bits. Particularly as he is talking to him...

Pretty good actually...

I remember reading that EC had written Complicated Shadows for him, but he rejected it.

This was my second CD (after Greatest Hits). Still love it.
The title track, It's Time, You Bowed Down, Poor Fractured Atlas are a couple of my favorites. I especially liked Almost Ideal Eyes on the bonus CD (also That Day is Done)

Love this thread....thanks for digging it up. There are probably hundreds of these for me. "Even when you know it's over, it's too much to say" in "The Birds Will Still Be Singing" - you can almost feel his pain "Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the...

I've always liked EC's version of "Gloomy Sunday" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4YHoijyRH0 Interesting acoustic performance of "Veronica". Played for Warner Bros. employees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k4ZXzhwCkM 1986 "Uncomplicated" - Nelopoleon Dynamite http://w...

The only Rhino w/ bonus CD I do not have is "Almost Blue"....I guess it's the Country Music theme I've never really embraced. Although I do enjoy his rendition of the George Jones song "Good Year for the Roses" Funny, I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee (Country Music USA) and do n...

I'm sure Elvis has covered a few more, but this is a pretty good list.

I thought this would be interesting & entertaining. If it's already been done or you do not want to participate, I understand. I bought this autographed photo on ebay for $10. (certificate of authenticity & very good quality) Frame was on sale for $10. Add glass & matt..I have about $32 ...

I like this performance of "Pills and Soap"

..I wasn't the least bit offended by this. I found it entertaining. Let the guy build the twins a nice trust fund.

I would, however, like to see some new material
