Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Thank you Mr. Average! That is exactly how I feel! I just didn't have the energy to type all of that!

I recommend Pinkerton and the first Weezer album! That stuff was some of the best American music to come out of the 90's. And that's pretty objective data too.

This has probably been covered many times, but Elvis' B&C persona translates into a WONDERFUL movie! Vote for Pedro!

There would be rioting if my list was published, having Elvis at # 2. I guess that's why we're all here! Shout out to SMM!

Yeah. One of my friends was digging Clown Strike, even though the lyrics were not easily deciphered. Then Elvis launched into Radio, Radio, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. But after that.... After being tsunamied with Elvis' wall of sound for an hour, it got even worse for my companio...

I can't wait to hear it! I think Jody really enjoyed all of the songs from KOA in Chicago the other night. Maybe it was the "catholic girls in the balcony" comment though...

Don't trust a country doctor with a dull and cruel blade...


I actually do NOT like the way Elvis is lagging behind the band vocally. Keep up!

I live the life I love and I love the life I live. Hello MS and SMM! The Chicago concert was ok. Does this mean I've seen Elvis too many times? I think we were just too far away from the stage. I brought my wife and 2 friends, and I didn't think they enjoyed it too much. I don't think they could und...

Costello and the Imposters closed with the ballad "The Scarlet Tide," his Grammy-nominated song from the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack, during which he sang a verse a cappella that surely was lost in the upper reaches of the cavernous Auditorium. This was a dramatic yet needless ex...

So my Uncle was about to go snorkling in Hawaii, when a short, pasty, pudgy man handed his spectacles to a tall blonde jazz artist. The man had a big black snorkling mask on, and was Elvis Costello. My uncle nodded. Elvis raised his eyebrows.

They could've been diving for pearls...

Wow, what a funny feeling. I just had to check this out. Ipod may be the closest thing I've ever had to trying drugs. Wait...I had a dark Taco Bell period in 2003. Anyway, I have a pathetic 1500 songs on my Ipod. But that's only because i don't prioritize my day well enough. Beatles +solo Beatles 20...

Will anyone show up then?

Snowball in one hand....snowball is a cat right?

Can I please have a copy blue?

Let's Misbehave is nothing special. I really don't like these idiots, American and other, talking about EC like this....one foot in the lifetime achievement....he's got BOTH FEET in, he's done more in the last 25 than any of these people have done in their lifetimes...I have no right to be waking up...

GCW has gotten a bad rap around here!

I too have just listened to it for the first time.

Is Home Truth his best song? It's never in any of our rankings, but it is deeply and disturbingly wonderful.

And I believe that Love Field is perfect.

I can't get it to work.

8. Nothing Clings Like Ivy 9. The Name of This This Is Not Love 10. There's A Story In Your Voice (w/ Lucinda Williams) 11. Either Side of The Same Town 12. The Judgement 13.

I went to Circuit City last night to get the 3 new reissues, and they didn't have ANY OF THEM! THOSE JERKS! THOSE TERRIBLE JERKS! So we bought a big-ass, not-affordable television. Jody also bought a dvd called Serendipity....how appropriate. This Town....SUCKS! I hope Best Buy has the reissues....T...

Blue, you are on DRUGS!

This is going to be his best album EVER!!!! None of the others are even CLOSE!!!

Ice! You can produce Blue and I's. We've got a GREAT one, I just can't say though, because this idea is GOLD. All EC songs. I can say no more.

These songs ARE goldan Spooky! This will be his best album EVER! I can't wait!

NOTHING CLEANS LIKE IVORY! This song is so beautiful. I think it will be #1 longer than Hey Jude and Heard it Through the Grapevine COMBINED! I just hope there won't be as many assassinations as there was during that period.

The suspense is killing me. Was anyone here at those shows in Memphis? I heard they were pretty "electric", but when Elvis played some of the songs in Chicago, they were acoustic, and they were AMAZING! I hope the album is more acoustic. Know what songs would be PERFECT on this album? The ...
