As part of their preparation for English Language GCSE, Year 10 has been studying Derek Bentley, who was hanged for murder in 1953. They produced creative reactions to Elvis Costello’s song about the case, "Let Him Have It". This is Paige's beautifully illustrated analysis.

Haven't heard "Let HIm Have It" - is it a song dedicated to Liverpool's Karius and his generous donation of the European Champions League football to Benzema ?

In further novels he has used 'tears before bedtime', 'less than zero' and stretching it a bit 'accidents happen' and 'punching his own clock'.verbal gymnastics wrote:Too much of a coincidence if he isn’t!sheeptotheslaughter wrote:I am reading a spy novel by the author Mick Herron called Dead Horses. He uses the lines 'sleep of the just' and 'London's brilliant parade' in one chapter. not sure if he is a fan.

These things happen. Given that Joel runs this from his house I don't think we need to be seeking apologies.
I'm grateful for everything he does to keep us up and running.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Interesting wording in this review of Trust
Barry Jacobs,
Musician, No. 32, April / May 1981
http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/inde ... April_1981
' His themes, as always, focus on emotional fascism, the imperialism of the bedroom. '
The songs for Imperial Bedroom would be written during the summer of 1981 and be recorded later that year. Did , perhaps, this phrase get stuck in Elvis's head ?
The same issue of Musician has this ad -
'Four Eyes , One Vision' The same phrase would used by Andy Kershaw to introduce, on TV , Elvis's performance at Live Aid in July 1985.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
'A UNIQUE RARITY FOR ELVIS COSTELLO FANS .ARMED FORCES ACETATE CUT AT PORTLAND RECORDING STUDIOS LONDON.RECORD IN GOOD CONDITION AND I PERSONALLY HAVE ONLY LISTENED THROUGH ONCE TO DETERMINE THE CONDITION.MARKED ON TRACK 1 SIDE 1 AND SKIPS FIRST 30 SECS OR SO AND A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER. THE REST OF THE SIDE PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH A BIT OF CRACKLE BUT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON AN ACETATE SIDE 2 SOUNDS A LOT BETTER WITH THE ONLY ISSUE BEING IT STICKS NEAR THE END OF THE LAST TRACK.WITH ACETATE IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE SOUND QUALITY BUT THE RARITY OF THE ITEM. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WERE MADE BUT NO MORE THAN 10 I'D GUESS.'

They look great. I hope you don’t get any letters from Elvis’ people for any potential copyright breaches though.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
I don't think Elvis' people were directly involved in this. It's more 'fan art' I would say so should be in the public domain. I've ordered one of the prints from the artist so he is getting something back.verbal gymnastics wrote:They look great.

But I won't tell anyone just in case
