Elvis Costello Fan Forum

In the 3 for 20 pounds (I can't find the bloody pound symbol on my laptop!) deal I got Mann's 'Lost in Space', the Kinks' 'Ultimate' for my mother and the Gram Parsons cd Otis was going on about. Someone gave me Paul McCartney's 'Flaming Pie' so that's been in the cd player for the past 3 days. I've...

About the only thing I can offer is my digital camera and a good eye. I don't thrust my singing or guitar playing abillities on anyone bar enemies.

Spooky - I've been meaning to send Gilli an e-mail, just haven't got round to it. Good to hear she's well. Come on Gilli, get postin'! Verbal - nice to see you've made the jump. I'm aka UBunny by the way. (Just in case you thought a mad person you've never heard of was wondering where you'd got to) ...

I won't deny, for you gals that mentioned Bebe's book, that I have been curious about it. I've read several reviews on amazon.com and finally had decided not to purchase it because it just didn't look like a good read. Still, ladies, I suppose we were all just wondering what it was like with Elvis,...

"Are You Ready For The Country?" by Peter Doggett. Elvis, Dylan, Parsons and the roots of counrty rock. Re-reading "The Outsider" by Albert Camus. It's my only trusted travelling companion. I've got to re-read the last Harry Potter one before The Order of the Phoenix comes out in...

Baaaaastaaaards!!! *shaking fist*

I'll be 63 by the time I get my hands on the King Of America reissue.

"A J. LO TREND: Seems Diana Krall has taken a cue from Lopez. The singer is sporting a gigantic pink sparkler, courtesy of her fiance, Elvis Costello. No word on the number of carats--but those who have seen it say it's visible even from quite a distance."

Belly button rings are sooooo 1997, tattoos are soooo 1973. I quite like the tombstone option myself. Either have a big, big party or go away for a quiet, expensive weekend.

Remember, moody, 50 is the new 40, 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20. Or so my sister says.

Oooh goody, more Bjork! I'd suggest you go out tomorrow and get 'Debut', 'Post' and 'Homogenic'. They should all be pretty cheap (I know for a fact they're around 7/8 quid in HMV here in the UK). If not, or if you want to test the water first I'd go for 'Post' to start with. The magnificent 'Army of...

I have Dusty In Memphis and I'm not gay at all. Neither is Elvis, and from what I understand it's one of his favourite albums. but do you have The Pet Shop Boys? Yes, and are you obsessively tidy? I'm not saying all men who have a Springfield cd are gay. That would just be stupid. It's a combinatio...

Yes, I love MLBW as well. I was going to leave Alibi out and stick 15 Petals on the list but the number of people who I've heard say they love Alibi has been suprising. I, personally, don't care for it.

It lived up to expectations and I wasn't disappointed. I love the way he lives in middle of Hollywood - the most artificial place on earth - yet because he's in his own little bubble everything Hollywood stands for rebounds of him. And his accent has become stuck somewhere between Widnes and Dublin....

It's "favourite" overload lately thanks to bamboo, so, while we're in the mood, I'd like to know which one of the above is the king of WIWC. I've nominated probably the five best from the album, which also seem to be other's faves too. Time to narrow them down. It's hard to choose but I kn...

As they say - all the best ones are either married or gay. An ex of one of my female friends was incredibly tidy and had Dusty Springfield and the Pet Shop Boys cds in his collection. The relationship was not to be.

Where is Verbal Gymnastics? I began to dig that guy.

Gillibeanz? Someone go fetch her.

Did anyone see the show a couple of weeks ago when that Romanian folky group were on? If so do know what they are called? I wouldn't mind getting something by them. They were called Taraf de Haidouks, sol. I like to think of myself as being very broad minded when it comes to music (anyone for Koray...

I ran out of HMV today screaming 'cos I couldn't take any more of David Gray assaulting my ears. Okay, I made the running out of the shop bit up, though I did leave in a bad mood. I went to see a friend of a friend's band play at LIPA last night. They were great and informed us that they have a reco...

That's better. Thanks tux and Taz. Just one more petty grumble from me -- all times are GMT (21:15 now) but the clock thingy is one hour slow. Nobody else has probably noticed but it gets to the manic obsessive in me.

Same here. I don't like stretchy things. Mayby one "LP Of The Week" in the corner would suffice? Ta Taz.

Cute avatar, Otie.

I don't know if I really want to do this....

Some may find the fact that he wrote the new stuff while still sweaty from the concerts even more appealing. He does sweat a lot. And gobs a lot, too.

Is that it? Is it over? It went on for far too long if you ask me. Officially the 10 greatest songs of all time according to the elviscostellofans.net/.com: Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime Neil Young - Harvest Moon David Bowie - Aladdin Sane The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit The Clash - Rudie ...

I'm soooo looking forward to the Morrissey docu. Isn't it the first tv interview he's done in like, 10 years?

I'm doing a good job at hiding my immense excitement.
