Elvis Costello Fan Forum

F...ing hell !! This is obvious.
STRAWBERRY BLONDE !!!

The only Amanda I know of is Amanda Brown from the Go-Betweens.
The answer is Brown ?

The Fiery Furnaces get very good press, so they're probably worth checking out.
I only heard two or three songs and quite liked them.
They seem to be very eclectic as comparisons range from Captain Beefheart to White Stripes to Belle & Sebastian.

Jackson, you will not regret it. Apart from the fact that "Bad Love" is full of superb, witty songs ("I Miss You" is one of the best ballads of the 90's), it also features excellent team of musicians : Pete Thomas and Mitchell Froom among others. And as for Tom McRae's album : I ...

A couple of years ago I took part in a tv quiz-show „Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”. 8) A week or two before the taping of the show I got a phone call from a lady, who asked me about my hobbies, interests etc. When inquired about music I duly said I was absolutely nuts about Elvis Costello, expectin...

Choosing just twenty is really difficult, and the list changes depending on the day, mood and so on, but I'll give it a try : Aztec Camera - High Land Hard Rain The Beatles - Abbey Road The Housemartins - The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Squeeze - East Side Story Bi...

Thanks, Jackson.
September 2004 is set to be a great month for music then.

A couple of months ago I read that the Trash Can Sinatras had finished recording their new album but were looking for a label to release it. Anyone knows when - if at all - the album is coming out ? I remember buying two TCS records - "Cake" and "I've Seen Everything" - about 10 ...

I'm in if somebody is kind enough to explain the rules.

Get drunk on good wine while listening to Elvis' songs.

All the best to you both.

"Fallen angel" and at the same time "great torch singer" ??? That's a bit schizophrenic, isn't it ? And calling Steve a "tasteless piano accompanist" is really beyond me. Well, I suppose that for a few years now it has become Salon's policy to be against almost anything...

You're right. All instruments were played by Elvis.

Trust.
Great song, isn't it ?
And superb bass-playing from Bruce.

Steve Martin preparing for his role as Inspector Clouseau ?

The Great Pumpkin, where are you ?!!
Any mp3's from the second night at Lincoln Center ?

Yes, it's Sondre Lerche.
Your turn, John.

I don't think so, but it's not him anyway. OK, a hint : the guy released two critically-acclaimed albums in US and UK. (actually the second, already out in US, is to be released in UK in August.) An this is how he is described in Amazon.com : "The 21-year old Bergen, Norway native recalls artis...

Who's Ane Bruhn ?
No, it's not her (him?).

Nope.
And it wasn't John Carew, either.

I am not that big expert on country, but I think The Byrds' "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" is excellent.

And as for more traditional country sound few things can beat Hank Williams. His "40 Greatest Hits" can be a good starting point.

Nope, it's not the World Idol.

Ok, something EC-related : which Norwegian singer used to perform "Baby Plays Around" at his early gigs ?

I have just finished reading Ben Elton's "Blast From The Past".
Not recommended. I found the plot way too improbable and the solution not surprising at all.
I wonder if Elton's "Popcorn" is any better.

Writer - Bryan Ferry.
Album - For Your Pleasure.

Do The Strand by Roxy Music ?
