Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Elvish?

HRC are announcing the rest of the June 27 lineup tomorrow (Tuesday). Fingers crossed.

This would absolutely make my year! I've got tix for HRC and adding EC and the 'canes to the lineup would make my London trip a EC Trifecta (Meltdown + HRC + Liverpool).

It's still listed on the Meltown website, so I wouldn't have any fears about it going ahead.

For anyone interested, Patchwork River, the excellent new record from Jim Lauderdale (co-written by Robert Hunter), came out yesterday. It's Jim's 18th album in 19 years - perhaps the only artist that can make EC seem like he's resting on his laurels.

EC isn't credited in the album insert and I can't detect his presence on any of the tracks, so I think this one's BS. Shame, though, he'd fit right in on this record. The Jakob Dylan duet is wonderful.

I find a lot of the new songs amazing: Stations To The Cross, Dr. Watson, I Presume, Jimmy Standing In The Rain, A Slow Drag With Josephine, A Condemned Man, The Part Of Him You're Leaving,... Anyone agrees? I agree. Particularly Jimmie, Josephine and Five Small Words. I expect I've Lost You will g...

I am really digging this song. It's greatn when two songwriters I love work together and I can hear what both of them contributed to the song. I can hear some real Jimian and Elvish touches in here.

Most optimistic about the new record!

Judging by the songs Elvis has been cranking out in concert since last year, it's looking like we're going to get: 'Jimmie Standing In The Rain' 'Five Small Words' 'You Hung The Moon' 'One Bell Ringing' 'Poor Borrowed Dress' 'I've Lost You' 'That's Not The Part Of Him You're Leaving' 'Condemned Man...

Hell yeah!

By the time this tour's wrapped up, they'll have covered the entire Mick Taylor era! I hear they're working up a mean version of Cocksucker Blues for the Liverpool show.

Thought it would be interesting to look at my actual Top 25 EC songs (in terms of listens) vs. my faves. So firing up iTunes, I find that the Top 25 most listened to EC tracks in my library are: 1. Six Fingered Man (from The River In Reverse) 2. Bedlam (from The Delivery Man) 3. I Want You (from Blo...

So a Fred Eaglesmith cover and chilling love ballad about bestiality?

Weird.

Costelloesque seems a little unwieldy. How about Elvish?

That's an amazing photo!

This would make a great idea for a romantic comedy. A musician following his love around by booking tour dates in the same venues the day after.

Sounds like a great gig. Love that version of Sulphur to Sugarcane - it's a real swinging honky tonk tune when you add Nieve to the mix.

My wife is a big Law & Order fan, and a few years ago, Detective Green mentioned the Elvis plays a Rickenbacker. So naturally she asked me if he did last night. I have now idea. My guitar knowledge is nill. Does he and does anyone if he does plays on from the above set list Well that’s it’s fro...

Looks like a cracker. And the Jazzmaster is in full force. That hat looks way too big on him since he lost all the weight.

Anyone who has a ticket and is travelling some distance, may want to stay overnight in Liverpool. Travelodge are currently offering a double room in central Liverpool for £19 (room only). Book here: https://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book/hotel_overview.php?hotel_id=149 Wonderful. Thank you sir.

Anyone else get tix?

Love Alison . He can definitely retire Radio Radio and Pump It Up , though. And Watching the Detectives , too, for that matter. I love all of those songs, but I think Alison has got to the point where it feels like a perfunctory part of the show, like Crowded House doing Don't Dream It's Over . He ...

Snagged a ticket in the second row, dead center. And got exactly the same position for Richard Thompson's 1000 Years of Popular Music on the Saturday.
