Re: EC's Discography: Top to Bottom
Wow! This is really interesting--how different people react to the same music. For what it's worth, here is my list (based on how I'm feeling today--I'm sure I could rearrange the same albums a thousand times and still come up with a good list). I can see I definitely rank "Old Elvis" abov...

Re: A polite introduction
In the past two years ,as I have matured I have found Elvis Costello and developed a passion for his music and I have been feverishly consuming his discography ever since. Hi Ryan! Nice to meet you! I'm rather new here also and my story is pretty much the same as yours--for the past 2 years I have ...

Re: Reposting: The Costello Show: A Burlesque Tribute Elvis!
Went to this and it was really fun! I'm sure they'll do it again soon and I highly recommend it to any of you in the NYC area. The live band sounded great and was a very credible approximation of The Attractions. Broadway Brassy sang a couple of numbers, including a smokin' version of "Either S...

Re: opinion re: DIFFERENT versions SUGARCANE tour please
What about "Brilliant Mistake"? I thought that was pretty different from the KOA version. And "There's a Story in Your Voice" seemed somewhat changed from the DM version, plus obviously lacked Lucinda Williams. "Blame it on Cain" also was quite a bit more country-ized. ...

Re: Secret, Profane and Sugarcane Reviews
Yes--clearly he hated being a rock star, but loves being a musician. He's fashioned an excellent career for himself. And he's survived, even perhaps thrived, in a brutal industry.I'm sure if he wanted a hit record of some sort this decade, he would have made it by now.

Re: Secret, Profane and Sugarcane Reviews
OK. Point well taken--I'll stop howling. But before I do, here are just a few tidbits gleaned from recent reviews of SP&S. Most of this comes from overall positive reviews... "Costello resorts to bellowing" "cringe-worthy" "frequently fussy" "several tedious, s...

I can't get on Dime, but the link I posted above is great! Nice MP3s, which sound very good, of the entire concert. I made myself a couple of CDs for the car and I've been enjoying the Beacon show all over again. That guy's blog--Burning Wood--is very good, by the way. He makes lots of fun, free dow...

Re: well, what do you think of
Am I the only one old enough to remember? Or the only one sad enough to know the lyrics? No, I am also sufficiently old & sad. Initially I thought of that insipid song by Def Leppard and was surprised Elvis would bother to quote a band so far beneath him. But then I remembered The Archies--quot...

Re: known info on the Secret Songs on S,P&S?
Yes. I am curious also. I have read so many times about the unfinished opera. Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know, but why didn't he finish it? Rift with the Danes? Too busy? What?
