Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think that was just to make your thousand!

Can't agree WHAR - Love For Tender is the perfect track 11.

The record is only 48 minutes long so it easily fits on vinyl. King of America and Spike are much longer and they were single albums. 20 short fantastic tracks. The track listing on the album cover swaps the two sides round and that is the way I've always listened to it, starting with I Can't Stand ...

It seems that the deal is done, Plaything. I think he'll be kissing a blue badge next season

Yes, Plaything, very much a toffee. I would like to believe he is not for sale but even David Moyes said yesterday that eveyone has a price. The £50m figure sounds about right and I think there is only one club that can afford him. He'll probably be off to that Russian London club with your Stevie G...

I thought we (England) played really well. I couldn't understand John Motson and Joe Royle's comments during the first half suggesting otherwise. Our young boy just keeps getting better and better. It would be great to keep him at Goodison and find some world class players to play with him. All woul...

So Lacklustre suggests Rooney for penalties. The only one he has taken (apart from in shootouts) he missed! - 02/03 season at Chelsea. I would stick with Beckham for penalties if I were to select him. He doesn't seem to do anything except dead ball kicks anymore. I would keep Gerrard and Lampard in ...

From a hotel poolside stereo system in Mallorca last week I was astonished to hear at quite some volume at ten in the morning....
My Funny Valentine.

Thank You miss buenos aires.
Now I know where I've been going wrong all these years!

I would find compiling a 12 song tape too hard. I introduced my sister-in-law with a 70 track triple CD compilation last year but unfortunately I don't think she is fully converted yet. In fact I don't think I've ever introduced Elvis to anyone who's gone on to be a big fan. Anyone out there had mor...

Are there any rules besides replacing one song with another and not having two songs by the same artist and no EC?

Just noticed that Damien Rice is on TOTP2 this Friday at 7pm singing "Cannonball". I've only seen/heard him on Jonathon Ross so far. You guys obviously think his CD is worth investing in!?

Maybe she could add "I Hope You're Happy Now" to somewhere else.

I don't possess For The Stars, SweetPear.
Are you suggesting I give Cruel Smile another listen SP?
Maybe I'll put CS and KV in my car CD player and see if they can move up the charts.
Talking of charts I see Narrow Daylight by Mrs Costello failed to reach the UK Top 75 yesterday.

Redshoes said to me this morning

Poor John, don't be sad

I wasn't then - I am now

DrJ asked Has anyone else here written EC a letter? I haven't but wanted to last year when he talking about not having fans and not coming back to perform in the UK. I wouldn't know where to send the letter to though. Elvis seemed a touch embarrassed when Jeremy said he had not received a reply to e...

OK, I'm a list bore but here would be my list for today Favourites 1. Get Happy :D 2. Imperial Bedroom :D 3. King of America :D 4. Punch The Clock :D 5. Spike :D 6. This Year’s Model :) 7. My Aim Is True :) 8. Trust :) 9. Brutal Youth :) 10. Almost Blue :) 11. Armed Forces :) 12. All This Useless Be...

I was very late for work this morning. Better come off this website and do some!

Don't forget to set your videos tomorrow.
I wonder when the interview was recorded as the Radio Times interview seems old?
Can anyone outside the British Isles receive BBC1?

That's more like it, Von.

Ah, but SMM copied mine!

I remember getting a bus to Liverpool and buying this album on it's first day of release. I loved it straight away. It was the first Elvis record which you could understand the words to pretty much straight away. He didn't put any of the lyrics on his record sleeves until Imperial Bedroom and that w...

I like your Get Happy three in a row, Uncomplicated. I would move your needle on one on Imperial Bedroom and go for Pidgen English, You Little Fool and Town Cryer. The first 3 from Spike sound pretty good (This Town, Let Him Dangle and DDTM) but I think my favourite would be the last three from King...

Just found videos to Jacksons, Monk and Rowe, Sulky Girl and The Other Side Of Summer on Yahoo site.
