Let's hope some decent recordings show up. Funny but out of my boot collection, I'd say less than 5 per cent are Aussie please dear God, let the guy who recorded this MONSTER of a show still be into recording. I LEFT MY HONDA OUTSIDE; one of my FAVE boots EVER!!! Concert 1985-06-25 Melbourne From E...

You have misinterpreted the reactions of these guys. For one thing, they wouldn't work with him if they didn't think he could sing. More to the point, I have spoken to singers who have worked with EC and most of them are amazed at how good he is ... and also at how BIG his voice is. Remember, he ca...

I think Stranger in the House is incredibly trite...even for a country song. Elvis has written a hundred better.

Ah well, guess he was due a trip down under. I was hoping for some European dates before the end of the year, but this seems unlikely if the report is true about filming a 2nd season of Spectacle before the end of the year.. Still, that's good news in itself. So a concert debut in Singapore before A...

Did I once hear about (the existence of) a version of Viva las Vegas featuring Elvis, Shane and possibly Tom Waits?

Reckon there must be quite a few Elvis/Pogues outtakes on some cutting room floor...

Thanks John!

Anyone have an mp3 of 'What Lewis Did Last' ?

Also impossible to buy from Amazon (outside US)

Oh and there's an instrumental bit on The Juliet Letters that is ripped directly from one of the Shostakovich string quartets can't recall which. Ripped? I reckon you’re likely referring to the Shostakovich quote that occurs as the line “…and I was thinking of something you said” is sung in ‘I Thou...

What Davey may lack in bass technicalities he MORE than makes up for in backing vocals. Many songs sound better for it, including some that wouldn't have been risked without backing vox. Gotta move on. Bruce is fantastic, but if he's a miserable .. What y gonna do

with Diana in Europe from mid September through November, a European tour looks likely..But what will it be? Sugarcanes? Imposters? Solo? Brodskys? Or something else..You can never be sure

These are quite difficult to find, at a reasonable price.. can anyone help?

I have 1 to 11

What's up with the verification questions? it's a bit hyper-sensitive isn't it? I have to answer it almost everytime I click on a new topic! Get's a bit laborious after 5 or 6 times...

Is there more ? I only heard about 30 seconds at the beginning

I finally uploaded it here...

Just been watching Yusuf Islam on a BBC 4 Session. His song "The little ones" has almost the exact same melody as "Captains & The Kings" Oh and there's an instrumental bit on The Juliet Letters that is ripped directly from one of the Shostakovich string quartets can't recall ...

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. She later played nice version of "Ipanema" live with jazz trio. Maybe the Children's album's on the back burner, it's not the first time it's been mooted! She was also on the BBC breakfast show, the next day (Monday). No performance, and looking a little rough at t...

Downright dumb. ? The credits ( why the Lou Reed credit? Is it a hidden track? I must play it and find out!) Well John..? Is it? Get FREE MP3 of "What Lewis Did Last" when preordering CD of Secret, Profane and Sugarcane at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Elvis-Costello/e/B000APURAS If the s...

I've Just completed the set with Herbie Hancock this week on Dime. I always keep seeding stuff I download on dime as long as it's doing something..I'm still seeding most of the series..I've a slow connection, I try to share what I have but some things are out of one's control...

I'm Getting round to thinkng about placing my order for the new album. As with every official release I will faithfully BUY an original copy.,but the question once again is which version to go for? Obviously I want all the available tracks... Should I go with the Japanese version again with the 15 t...

Must insist THE EMOTIONAL TOOTHPASTE doesn’t belong it’s merely a psuedonym. THE COSTELLO SHOW & THE MACMANUS GANG are also a bit tenuous, unless that’s meant to include Ross Macmanus, who should be number 1 on your list of collaborators, both chronologically and also as the biggest single influ...
