Re: River in Riverse Bonus DVD?
I just noticed the RIR bonus DVD listing on the wiki pages. What's on the DVD? My copy of RIR only includes the CD. Is this the same film as "Putting the River in Riverse" by Matthew Buzzell which is included in the extras on the Hot As A Pistol DVD? Yes and No. The RIR bonus DVD was inde...

Re: elvis's lines that you like\dislike the most.
I can see why it's a cool line viewed in that context. No, it is not. All this analysis is making me sick. "well myself and a number of posters blah blah... the hypocrisy charge against EC was misdirected but his self-winking blah blah.... that's why it's cool line in that context". "...

Re: Mick Jones on "Big Tears"?
I'm not aware of any live performance with Mick Jones but the version of Pump it up to which you refer was recorded in 78 as part of This Year's Model Sessions. Apparently a different take was used on the album (at least Jones ism't credited) The take featuring Jones was remixed and first released o...

I tend to think of the eras as decades which almost co-incides with the wife and band/label stages. Also it evens out the albums better. 77-86 - Ala first 10 years, 1st wife, 1st attractions phase.(11 albums) 89-96 - Warner Bros Years, 2nd Wife, Last of the Attractions...

Re: Best EC Album of the Past 10 years
After quite a bit of 00’s Costello bashing here recently, I thought I’d chip in with my tuppeneth and cast my vote. The sheer depth and variety of styles listed here is proof itself in the breadth of Costello’s musical vocabulary. Present these albums to someone who doesn’t know him and they would s...

Re: Best EC Album of the Past 10 years
I also think a good album is more than the sum of its parts, so there should be, say, 10% reserved for scoring 'how much more than the sum of its parts is this album'. A great album isn't a greatest hits, a series of brilliant moments, it's a total experience, a journey, an artefact, even if iTunes...

Re: Best EC Album of the Past 10 years
I narrowed it down to my top three albums which were When I Was Cruel, The Delivery Man, and Momofuku. Then used a ranking system of 1 to 5 (for each song) with 5 being the best, and then took the average for each album to find the best one. There was only one 5 from the lot, that being "Count...
