Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Looks like I'm going to this show. Anyone else?

Right now it's Wonder Woman. But this morning it was On Your Way Down.

No, that's ok. But I'm glad I was good for a tenner. I hope you drank an extra one in my honor.

Thanks a lot, Mike. It was a really fun interview to get to do. He was a really thoughtful subject.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Ok here's 6 numbers. I just want enough to get out of credit card debt if you win.

7 - 18 - 26 - 29 - 33 - 41

My mom's a nurse, and in the hospital, motorcycles are nicknamed donorcycles because of the huge number of poeple who refuse to wear a helmet.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6


Can't miss!

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is jaded, deeply cynical, and (I think) terribly realistic. I think it says that if real change would come they'd be happy, but that they doubt all the change has done anything. The radicals from before will simply replace the status quo. "Meet the new boss. S...

I won't argue about nearly rear ending Moz, as I'd be deathly afraid of where the argument would go. It was very cool and very random, and what's weird is that I randomly bumped into Peter Boyle (Young Frankenstein) in 2004 in line at a gelateria in Venice and then Fred Willard (all the Christopher ...

So my family was in Paris, walking around the Latin Quarter, and none other than Patti Smith was walking into the same bookstore I was about to walk in to. I said, "Patti Smith?" And she turned around and said, "Hello." I said, "Sorry to bother you, but it's not often I bump...

I for one see your dilemma twice.

I think the shaved head was less about personal choice and more to avoid looking like James Taylor. Stipe's hair was falling out, so he went completely bald.

Automatic For the People is a perfect record.

Otis,

I like Up a lot. Definitely not painfully dull.

I think Around the Sun is mediocre at worst, with some really bright spots here and there. I like "Leaving New York" very much, and I think "Boy in the Well" and "Wander Lust" are superb songs. But it's definitely their least worthy record. And as far as the whole "...

Otis, when you revisit Fables, pay close attention to "Feeling Gravity's Pull," "Wendel Gee," "Maps & Legends" and "Green Grow the Rushes."

Then do yourself a favor (not on the same day) and revisit Reveal. It's worth a fresh listen.

If you celebrate it, have a great Easter. If not, have a great day.

I think Document might be my favorite REM record, though it changes from time to time. It has "Finest Worksong," "End of the World" and "The One I Love," of course, but it also has some of my favorite non-hit REM songs, like "Disturbance at the Heron House" an...

Don't cry about it.

That's a damn fine list of albums. I love that Beautiful South record. And the Housemartins. Nice!

There are excellent arguments to be made for downloading, file sharing and P2P software. None of them have been made on this thread, however...

That there's a great list of albums.

Rhythm of the Saints was in 1991. Does that count as decades? That's a great record.

My favorite records by EC are from different parts of his career. While TYM, AF, and Trust are probably always going to be my top 3, with GH close behind, I prefer some of his later albums to MAIT. For example, I'd rate B&C and KOA both higher than MAIT, and I'd probably rather listen to Brutal ...

Joyeux anniversaire, Mademoiselle Buenos Aires.

done.
