Wow - Lovable!! Only the third time since 1989 according to the Wiki. Was it a single verse?

Changing the original subject and not wishing to get into the "Riot Act" argument you could make almost a double album of great Elvis closers. Surely "Big Sister's Clothes", "Unexpected 4", "Favourite Hour", "Town Cryer" and "The Birds Will Sti...

Many thoughts about last night’s incredible show, but I’ve got to say that when this residency was announced, and I decided to fly in for three shows, I never imagined I’d get a 2.5-hour-long show on any of the nights. Silly me thinking that he’d take it easy and pace himself with brisk 75-minute se...

I am. Third and final show

Me - my second!

Heading south of the border for this one, plus two more.

Is the nod to Candy Crush in "Mistook Me for a Friend" ("That crush and her confectioner said") the only video game reference in Elvis' catalogue?

Bit the bullet and got single tickets for nights 5, 6, and 7 - one in loge ($152), two on the floor for $172.

My experience after a break, too. What a capper to these three awesome Krys-produced albums. For me, it's not just his best record with the Imposters (which is saying something), but his best of the new millennium, period. It all clicks together in such a pleasurable way. I'm starting to lose track ...

Mr. Hush wrote:Some things aren't even subjective. Momofuku!

To be fair, he writes that "Momofuku was released shortly before my wedding, and was in my iPod rotation on a lovely and memorable honeymoon." Maybe "Harry Worth" felt like a personal attack!

Can I just put in a word for “Mr Crescent?” It’s that final verse…with its implication that he is suffering from dementia, and the memory of what should have been his true love (lost long ago to his own untrustworthiness and reputation) floods his bewildered mind (“I wonder where my Honey has gone?...

Favourable 7.5 review from Pitchfork: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/el ... -named-if/

Well-written, but man, lines like this drive me crazy: "Costello’s monstrous appetite for genre has occasionally led him to believe he has mastered every genre."

Third album in a row with an absolutely killer closing track. Whole thing is a banger, though!

I'll be there. Casino Rama is out of the way for me and I don't have a car, but a friend got his hands on a pair of free tickets and is willing to drive. I've never seen a casino show before, not sure what to expect...

Really good show last night. It sounded like Elvis didn't want to strain his voice during the first few songs; he backed off a lot of the more difficult notes and refrained from going all out on the opening rockers. He got stronger as he went, though, and was pretty much hitting everything by the ti...

I believe BlueChair is the main T.O. Elvis fanatic here. However, I'm a very long time lurker and I'll be attending. When it comes to Twitter, I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified, so I won't be live Tweeting or doing anything instantaneous like that. I'll post the setlist and (hopefull...
