Elvis Costello Fan Forum

It was Telstar by the Tornadoes. Produced by the mighty Joe Meek. I guess I'm late again.

This should be encoded and posted on the world wide interweb (as per that oher thread)

Oliver's Army!!! Why do they only play his other songs on the radio?

DrJ

I like it three.

It's a good 'un to play on the geetar.

DrJ

I thought it was Beck on both.

DrJ

I keep missing questions I know. Grrrrr.

DrJ

Mnyeh, it's overrated.

DrJ

How do you find this stuff?

I am figuring out if I have the time/talent to put together a website later in the year which would host rare EC videos. I've a lot of stuff on VHS hanging around which should be encoded and put out there. Look at this resource for rare Python... http://orangecow.org/pythonet/video.html ...which is ...

This. Is. An. Old. Joke.

What's the opposite of Christopher Reeve?

If you laugh, you're a bad person.

Dang, I knew that. Bittan's on TVC 15.

Don't know the new one. The guess is Led Zepplin but it's probably earlier than that...

DrJ

Well excuuuuuuse meeeeeeeee!!!!!!

DrJ

Did they both start on the Postcard label?

A total guess. I'm desparate for points.

DrJ

I think he plays on the track Maidstone and a few others. I could be wrong.

DrJ

Is it That'll be the Day and Stardust? And David Essex? Although he wasn't really a 50s/60s star, more 70's/80's.

DrJ

That date was listed ten days ago on JohnE's site...

Many thanks for your bananadmiration!

Ron Sexsmith credited a backing band on his first LP (Grand Opera Lane). What were they called?

Those Moments In Time guys strike me as odd. They were once selling the album Lennon signed for Chapman and an erased tape of a Beatles session in LA in 1976 (!). It worries me that BC was born in the 80's. So young, so wise! I've got to come to terms with my age (spiralling to my 30's) which, yes, ...

Paul. His name is James Paul McCartney.

I was recently in Liverpool and bunked off the conference I was at and took a two hour Beatles bus tour and I won the trivia quiz. Go me!

Do I get to ask a question?

Dismal week for releases though. Well done Scissor Sisters, that's good stuff. And "The Blonde one out of Abba" has gone in at 11 in the singles charts.

1990's U2 is better than 1980's U2. Zooropa reminds me of a very good summer of music which included Belly and Sugar and others. EC was pretty on the money about Pop; he referred to it as great songs which when put together didn't make a great album,or something like that, I'm paraphrasing wildly. DrJ

I bet whatever Mallett was driving, it was more expensive then anything driven by any of us. If he gets £10,000 for a PA in front of some drunk students who want to relive the Saturday mornings of their youth, then good luck to him, more power to his elbow etc. As a side note I saw Spongebob Squarep...

A quick net search gives our foreign chums a visual representation of MrMallett...



Weeeeeee'reeeeeeeeeeee WIDE AWAKE!

Although this is funnier....

10 inches. PS Dr J, are the Irish authorities too busy putting out fags to worry about large-scale file-sharing? I hope so! I hope so too. I spend so much money in record stores and on concert tickets that I really don't feel that guilty about it. Plus I think the smoking ban is kickass. It's so od...

Missed it myself, at work as usual. However, god bless the internet. Pynchon appeared with a bag on his head. Here's a picture and an MP3 of the author's appearance. Sounds like a fun guy...
