Elvis Costello Fan Forum

It looks like he will be touring a lot in the upcoming months. That should make most of you die hard fans pretty happy, yes??? It would make me happy if he would add more US dates . . . I feel neglected. So what if I got to see him 3 times last fall. That was a whole year ago! I ask far too much . ...

I like When It Sings the best.

I also like the instrumental part at the end of Let Me Tell You About Her, after he stops singing . . .

No kidding, how come he's skimping on US dates?

The shows he did in July didnt count as part of the North tour, did they?

Happy birthday, Verbal!

I dont know, maybe start with the red trousers and then work your way up to the cowboy hat . . .

Or down, depending.

You know, I actually like the piano key tie! And ponchos are . . . cool?

I kinda like the way Steve used to dress based purely on entertainment value.

Oh . . . that

Well, I suppose that's understandable then . . .

What's wrong with the way Steve dresses? . . .


I always liked the psychotic computer geek look EC had in the early days, though I guess it wouldnt really work on him now . . .

Happy brithday El Vez!

Dust 2 . . . 2 is probably my favorite song(s) from WIWC. Though I actually prefer Dust 2 to Dust mostly because of that little part right before he launches into "here comes the juggernaut, here come the Poisoners . . ." And also because I really like the last line, which seems like such ...

Monday is September 22 . . .

I met A Rope Leash . . . that counts, right?

I had that song randomly in my head the other day.

Or maybe it was "5 Gears in Reverse" . . . I dont remember.

My favorites are:

King of Americana (KOA demos and outtakes)
Legends and History Collide (96)
Riot Act (83)
I Did Talk To Bob Dylan (95)
Between Wisdom and Murder (96)

"Red Sails in the Sunset"? Is that different than "Black Sails in the Sunset" then? . . . .


I picked Just About Glad.

If my Radio Radio skipped I would just have to buy a new one . . . I wouldnt be able to take it!

TYM is the only one I really have falling apart issues with. I dont remember dropping it, but I guess it isnt unlikely. I do drop things a lot.

The first time I heard "The Other End of the Telescope" was the acoustic version on the I Did Talk to Bob Dylan bootleg. This version featured slightly different lyrics than the ones on the actual album. One of my favorite verses from the song: And in time I could only remember one thing t...

My reissue of This Year's Model falls apart whenever I touch it . . .

I just thought maybe I had the bad luck touch.

they're a page right out of history . . .

I guess "Tiny Steps" is one of the songs that helped get EC labeled a misogynist back in the late 70s, which is kind of understandable. "Make her walk or make her kneel Oh she's almost human beneath that cuban heel" Still, I dont think its misogyny in any of his songs. I do like ...

I smell like I sound . . .


?

Dammit Noise, now Ive got that song stuck in my head!


And on a not completely unrelated tangent, REO Speedwagon played at my high school art teacher's prom . . .

Thats kind of hilarious . . .

. . . you do have good hair though.

Me too . . . I just bought several Clash albums on vinyl as well as a handful of blues albums . . .

For some reason I used to hear the "capital punishment" line as "daddy's little girl" . . .


way, way off . . .
