Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Got my CD/DVD copy yesterday, blasting the CD now. For those of us who care, I think I've determined which songs come from which show. I Hope You're Happy Now, Heart Of The City, Mystery Dance, Radio Radio, God Give Me Strength, Watching The Detectives, Tear Off Your Own Head, Out Of Time and Stella...

It works best for me in the fall, and always at night. It truly is a favorite.

CS -- for the record, I don't hate any of those songs. Nice picks.

Mr. Misery. But I think that's already taken.

My son could not finish his homework because he died.

I didn't think either of them sounded like EC. (And I think my Morrissey is better, personally.)

To clean the palette, here's one of the funnier musical Armisen skits, and one of the best things Elton John's ever done.

Thank you Mr. Foyle!

Great list Chris -- hope you'll dig thru the blog below and find some kindreds. (If you haven't already.)

I had to look up "perspicacious". This is an essential document.

Holy crap, it's noiseradio. What year is it? Nice to see your name again!

Elvis will, presumably, feature in this - http://www.mccartney-recordings.com/en/ A book about Paul McCartney’s solo career, song by song. 13 years in making, over 300 pages A unique glance at the creative process of McCartney’s recordings. Includes exclusive interviews with Denny Seiwell, Laurence...

I don't have kids. I don't know how I feel about this. I think if I did have kids they'd probably be frightened by what they saw.

You ever think of publishing this stuff, Chris? or at least collecting in on a website outside of this forum?

And amazingly, he didn't go blind.

Apparently this show almost didn't happen in time: http://www.elviscostello.com/yellow-press/rants#/news/the-romance-of-travel/233 10.10.11 The Romance of Travel It says much about how far we’ve traveled from those heady days of flying on Pan-Am, Braniff and Allegeny Airlines, that a curling iron or...

How is it that I didn't realize you were a Red Sox fan until now? Or did I know at one time but forgot? It's possible. I should think I'd be better at recognizing my brothers. Anyway, yeah. Terry Francona was there for eight amazing seasons and two World Series championships. I can't imagine who the...

What everyone else said. Thanks for the trips down memory lane, and showing things I'd never seen.

What kills me (outside of this month's Red Sox collapse, but nobody cares) is that Elvis has been complaining about his current record label -- and there have been a few -- for over 25 years, and yet he keeps giving himself up to be marketed by whichever one is offering to sponsor him that week. I s...

He played it at Lake Compounce in CT in '89 as well. I seem to recall that he played the final triangle note himself.

Good point, cwr (as usual). When the Rhino rehaul started EC was married to one wife, and when it ended he had another. I hate to think that publishing fees have kept these held up, but I wouldn't be surprised if his current situation has put them on the back burner.

I'm somewhere in the third row, stage left. I was hoping to stumble across this again. (The other highlight of the evening -- seeing Biff Henderson wandering around the stage before the show.)

Thank you! This could prove to be informative.

Yes, a nice read. Thanks for typing ANCT!

The weird thing for me is that "Just Another Mystery" is a perfect MLAR track, and yet I can't honestly say that it has a place in the sequencing of the album. (Unlike, say, "Almost Ideal Eyes", inexplicably left off of ATUB, which would fit in almost anywhere on that record.) I...
