Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Oldham won again! 2-1 against Cheltenham! 7th in League One now. I'm not sure I can take another season of us almost sneaking up through the playoffs, but not quite managing it. Maybe this year will be our year.............

Actually I tend to look at Nick Lowe as being God, and Elvis being Jesus. The analogy doesn't work otherwise.

But I can see where you're coming from!

Goodness knows. Doesn't sound like Chelsea at all. Just sounds like noise, frankly, and not very appealing noise at that!

Any indication of whether this will be released in Europe, so's it will work with European DVD players?

First time I've done something like this. No doubt I'll change my mind as soon as I've posted.

These aren't available to pre-order from amazon.co.uk yet. Is that because it's slower than the US one, or because they are being released later in the UK?

As long as they don't share the same fate as Ricky Nelson's twin sons: http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0002858ZW.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1116167541_.jpg Don't those people look like Elvis, with Diana's hair? At first I thought it was a mock-up of what a child between EC and Diana Krall would l...

or cross the road

The most recent CD I got through the letterbox was "Bash" by Billy Bremner. It's OK on first listen. It's got Billy's cover of the EC tune "Shatterproof". Does anyone know if this was written specifically for Billy?

That's not too difficult, though! Only won one more game than Sunderland..

Oldham keep on losing and losing and losing........

Yep. Old Hammers Pathetic. I thought it was a clever pun on "Oldham Athletic", my team of choice. Obviously not!

Hint to you all - don't pick my players! I picked Dean Ashton, who then broke his ankle for three months. Poor bugger.

Brutal Youth is one of Elvis's most fun albums, but not his best IMHO.

Cheers

For my money, Spike is one of Elvis's best albums. It's a tough call, but it's in my top half dozen. I know the album isn't that cohesive, but it's fifteen great songs. It's good to sit back and listen to. Too many favourites - Satellite, God's Comic, hell, I like them all! Mighty Like a Rose is mor...

What line is that song from? It's going to annoy me all night....

Of ones that haven't been mentioned, the opening of Sleep of the Just -

The soldier asked my name, and did I come here very often. Well, I thought that he was asking me to dance.

All These Things bottom? What strange and disturbing times we live in...

A bit like The Doings maybe, Nick Lowe's 7CD thing. That would be nice, though a tad expensive for me.

I'd still buy it though, of course...

Nick's Knacks? Is that a Nick Lowe album? Sounds like one!

I'm in, too. Hoping to improve on my dreaful position in the Euros!

Indeed, the only thing that could top it would be news of a duet with his old sparring partner Bonnie Bramlett. God, doesn't Elvis look like an ageing market executive in that photo? Indeed he does. I think he's gone from having geeky computer programmer persona, to losing it in the mid-1990s. Now ...

Get Happy!! The most brilliant piece of music, ever. Forever, I'd have thought.

Forgotten how many people liked Trust; I always thought it was overlooked. Nice to see it's not...

Yep, forgot that one!

It's funny, How could I forget (What's So funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding)? Elvis' version is so definitive and such an Elvis classic, I forget that he didn't write it. P.S. There is a great solo, acoustic version of it by Nick Lowe on "The Doings". Though too bad there isn't ...
