Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Let's not forget our newest member - goldzoneinvesting12. I hear Elvis is bullish on gold. He feels it's a solid hedge against inflation.

1. Having It All
2. I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down (demo)
3. Psycho (live)
4. Betrayal
5. Um, Having It All again! Love that song!

Hmm. It's working for me just fine; Windows Media Player fired it right up. I wonder if it matters what version of WMP is being used? I'll try and record the pertinent parts of the show(s) to my computer and post on DIME in the next few days - if I do that, I'll try and get an mp3 or two up here as ...

Why does it seem that some element of this is officially released somewhere? I know I've read of the 20/20 footage, Geraldo, etc at some point.

I remember EC mentioning Madonna singing out a key at the Grammy's. He likes to poke fun at her it seems. I believe she comes up in one of his songs around PTC or GBCW. I'm probably way off with the intent of the lyric here, but "Sleep of the Just"?........"or is it immaterial girl.&...

Anyone else really amped about "My Flame Burns Blue"? It should be really really good, and I found this little sample that just made my feelings that much more certain: http://www.fanscape.com/Music/Adult/Elvis-Costello/3201230.aspx?mid=2749 Anyone else doing the midnight sale thing? Betw...

Elvis was recently "born again" after being touched by Jeebus, only to have this powerful, enligtening experience reinforced by sharing the stage with The Edge.

How do you know that Davey doesn't say flattering things to his fellow musicians?

During a fleeting moment of boredom I googled Davey Faragher. And during this search I discovered that he was part of a band in the mid-70's called the "Faragher Brothers." I apologize if this is a well-known fact, but I hadn't seen it discussed during a quick search through this board's a...

Elvis is name-dropped in a Boston Globe baseball column, found here. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/articles/2006/02/12/time_to_play_a_little_catch_up/?page=1 1. Who's the funky guy in the oversized, black Elvis Costello glasses? That would be Joe Maddon, new manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Ra...

The new Elvis Costello album is coming soon!!! I heard some of the songs and they sound great. He basically just takes his classic songs and re-works them with a full jazz orchestra. You can hear the new album here: http://www2.fanscape.com/elviscostello/redirects/2728.aspx Ummm. Uhhhhhh. Ummmm.....

I'm with EH on this one, although EH did not state specifically a distaste for U2 - so I will. I do not like U2. I do not like The Edge. I do not like Bono. I will not watch them with a goat. I will not watch them with Jeebus. I will not watch them anywhere.

Bastards.

It's an affront to Jeebus.

You can see Elvis rehearsing Midnight Hour here http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=9da52927-7149-440b-86ee-67f701b1741e&t=s6&f=06/64&p=hotvideo_grammys keep hitting the next button (but you have to watch the commercials, sorry!) - he's last. Somebody tell me, was Madonna really wearing c...

Yes North was #1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Chart . That must be true! Its says so in my EC bio: http://www.elviscostello.info/biography.php If any EC classical release was to have charted it would have to be "The Juliet Letters" which actually made the regular UK Top 20! I can onl...

First song featured AT on piano and vocals by AT, Dr. John, and a bit of Elvis at the end. I'm not sure what the song was, but I'm sure someone can fill that in...."We can do it yes we can...."....No idea. The second song was "In the Midnight Hour" to mark the recent passing of W...

11:22 PM EST is when it begins.

9:15 PM EST...So far, it's the typical Grammy B.S. The obligatory U2 appearance, ditto for Madonna. The best performance an hour and 15 minutes in? Kelly Clarkson.....yes, Kelly Clarkson. Macca's on now and it's kinda painful to watch. 11:12 PM EST....The tribute to recently deceased artists just co...

Madonna's legs (my goodness!) open the show @ 8PM EST - translate that to your own location.

There was not a lot learned from this segment of the news that I could pick up. If anything, I got a better insight into Allen's music and career. Also, there was a clip of what was likely the recording process for "River in Reverse" that showed Elvis and Davey singing. Good to see Davey's...

I posted this in the other Grammy's thread as well. Probably should have put it here in the first place.... Elvis and AT indicated in their CBS Nightly News interview that they are closing the Grammy's. That would put them likely in the 10:30-11:15PM EST time slot. I'll let the Left Coast folks know...

Evidently there's a DVD of this show out there. I gots-ta get my hands on this!

on the subject of "My Flame Burns Blue"... is it possible that it may make an appearance in the classical charts rather than the regular top albums chart? After all, this is a Deutsche Gramafone (sp?) release. North was also a DG release; I don't think that placed on the classical charts,...

I was wondering if there might be a kind soul or two who could keep this seed going. It's still up as an active torrent at DIME, but seeders keeping coming on for a couple of hours and then jumping ship.
