Elvis Costello Fan Forum

For my wedding, first dance was "You Do Something To Me" by Ella Fitzgerald. Liked the song so much that when we had our daughter a few years later, we named her Ella! Cut the cake to The Beatles' In My Life Did the walk-in to the reception, with all the bridesmaids and groomsmen to Shaft....

Zeppelin 1 through 4 aint too shabby either.

radiohead - 1 decent album (pablo) and 3 classics (Bends, OK, Kid A)

My top few off the top of my head:

She Loves The Jerk
So Young
Get Yourself Another Fool
Gloomy Sunday

someone been knockin my GBV here?!?!

I listened to a copy yesterday, and was a little disappointed at some songs sounding a bit sterile (I tihnk due to the double tracking of the vocals), and some songs, if you know the original, just can't live up to it (Care of Cell 44). That said, She May Call You Up Tonight, wow....

Maybe more so back in the day where writers and singers were not the same person. Watching American Idol last night (don't ask, I'm a big guilty pleasure watcher of crap TV), I was struck at the lack of emotion or understanding of Bewitched Bothered & Bewildered versus say, Ella Fitzgerald's ver...

I recieved something similar for the Houston show. I think these things are for supporting the local symphony in addition to regular tickets

wwallace already posted the setlist, so I'll just post my thoughts. all in all, a really nice night. We had 2d row on the side of the stage opposite the piano, so we didn't get to see Nieve so much, just his red socks, and the melodca seemed to have trouble during Almost Blue. But seeing him 3 times...

Dusty Springfield - Just A Little Lovin Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar David Bowie - Teenage Wildlife Marvin Gaye - Stubborn Kind Of Fellow Boomtown Rats - She's So Modern Joni Mitchell - Amelia Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Beatles - I'm So Tired Monkees - Daydream Believer Prince - WHEN U WERE M...

30 minutes should be fine if you've been downtown before, know where you're going, etc. Otherwise, plan for more time, just because of all the one way streets, etc. Parking for all the downtown theaters are underground and semi-connected, it's not too bad.

I want to get this, but I thought they were going to release it at the same time in 5.1, like Bulletin & Yoshimi. I don't really want to buy it twice. I'm in Houston and hope they come through too. They're playing Austin City Limits festival, so I'd guess at least one more texas show...

haha! Don't get the same image, but that's my favorite Attractions performance, it's just perfect.

I know people who love the Flaming Lips and people who hate them, and people who only love their weird early shit, and those like me who could care less about the weird shit and love Soft Bulletin & Yoshimi. I had an experiece with Do You Realize too. It's amazing how an album about robots can h...

looks like a good haul. let me know how the new BtS is. I loved Keep It Like A Secret, but thought Ancient Melodies was kind of weak.

You know, I even read that and it didn't click! Guess all my getting carried away about GBV blinded me.

Nowhere http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000002LNM.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Layer upon layer of tangled guitars ,heavenly vocal harmonies and the tunes to wrap it all around. Not a weak track on the album. Beware - if your stoned and listen to this record at loud volume it WILL take the top ...

I would have loved to have seen them live - couldnt agree more that it is inspiring to see what he's done, and a fellow beer lover to boot!! This pretty much sums up Bob live - http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3571/gbv1280x7685su.jpg seeing a 47 year old average guy doing kicks, Daltrey mic twirl...

I have Under the Bushes and Under the Stars and the best of. I know Alien Lanes and Bee Thousand are supposed to be the classics so will check them out. Whats Pollards Compound Eye like? Thanks for site - looks great and Pollard definitely needs a database! I also like the sound of Universal Truths...

Here's mine. 1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea An album that everytime I hear it, I have to hear the whole thing. I love everything about it, from the choice of instrumentation (sometimes sparse, sometimes, everything and the kitchen sink - saws, horns), and tackles a difficult c...

Human Amusements At Hourly Rates Yes, its a best of, but Im still working my way around the Guided By Voices discography. This is so full of so many great songs with big big pop hooks that it makes you quite dizzy. Pollard is amazingly amazingly prolific and a great singer. Master of the short shar...

For me, it's the sound of her voice, very smoky, etc, so when she does have a good song, she can make it better. To me, there are a lot of same-sounding songs on Moon Pix, and only the ones that are any different stand out - Cross Bone Style has a nice groove, Color & The Kids, love that one. Bu...

"Maybe Not" - Cat Power What do you think of that record? I'm still so infatuated with THE GREATEST, I haven't even thought about working back through the older stuff. I'm a Cat Power fan since I heard Nude As The News on a Matador sampler in 1997. HOWEVER, other than the title track and ...

I love these, seeing what everyone's got. My ipod has over 8500 songs on it, and probably half those are Guided By Voices (slightly kidding). Here are my 5: Hey, GBV #1! On Short Wave - GBV 2. Asia Minor - GBV. Cripes, hope it gets more random than this 3. Radio Campaign - M Ward. Never heard this s...

video, what video?!?! Holy crap!
