Hmmm...I didn't get anything today either, BA.

Actually, since it's going to be "at a stately, unconventional venue", I'm thinking it's going to be the former Emigrant Savings Bank building , which is on Chambers Street. Didn't Elvis recently hint about a concert in an abandoned bank? I think I remember reading that. And Live From The ...

The day the album drops will mark the day for a full-set show Costello will tape for PBS’s Live from the Artists Den, which should air in early 2011. Costello will be releasing several pairs of tickets for this particular show via a New York City-based Foursquare scavenger hunt. Further information...

me too...bought a single. very hard to talk mrs. apostle into a SUGARCANES show. much prefers to rock IMPOSTERS style. doc...if you get one also; i'll drive! Also going alone. Mr. Ypsi has to work that night. But I kind of like doing things solo sometimes--and now that I'm back working in the City,...

Yeah--Scarborough is such a douche bag. Seems like an unlikely place for Elvis to turn up. That's going to be uncomfortable, at best.

Yes--congratulations to both of you and a hearty WELCOME, as well!!!!

Just bought a ticket to this. Yay!

Clean Money!

Congratulations, Migdd! That is super-fantastic!
Do you have a player?

Sadly, I'll bet it's already too late. If it was really only 25 sets for the entire universe, they might have all been won, paid for & shipped by now without any of us even knowing about it.

And did everyone except me send in thousands of entries? Because that didn't appear to be against the rules (although they mentioned only 1 set may be purchased per customer). I only entered once, because it seemed more sporting, but I probably screwed myself.

If possible, yes please...I'd love to see it!

Thanks, Ramalama, for the great account. I think I speak for the whole world outside San Francisco when I say we're really jealous of all of you who got to go to this remarkable show, but we're glad you were there to see it. Sounds like it was pretty amazing! If you wouldn't mind, could you please e...

Looks very nice, too. Sadly, the "Odile" part is all fucked up--the questions are there, but the answers are missing.

Mike Compton has some "possible EC CD release dates": http://mikecompton.net/calendar.php ...including Oct. 31st...I'm just sayin'...Badass Halloween concert...possibly in NYC, because the West Coast has been getting all the love lately...maybe that devil costume can come out of mothballs...

There's a new entry on EC's official website: EXPOSE!!! ( http://www.elviscostello.com/#/news/EXPOSE!!!/76 ) Hmmm. That was quite a tale, but what do we make of it? Is Jimmy Quickly actually some kind of interloper? Someone only pretending to speak from within Elvis' camp? "While he enjoys fra...

All this teasing over 25 copies each of two 78s! I wonder whether they're simply going to be super-expensive, or if it's just going to be a super-lucky, first-come/first-served kind of thing... I'll be so disappointed if it's either of those things. I'm hoping for some kind of elaborate scavenger h...

Wow! That label is great! All the little details are just perfect...and hilarious!

You take a stance that any criticism is unfair when it comes to EC's musical efforts. That it is biased, ignorant, has an axe to grind, is ill informed, etc. No. I'm not saying ANY criticism is unfair. I'm saying most "professional" critics are lazy idiots who produce useless crap. I am a...
