It's an ecumenical matter.(Fr. Ted joke)
Still, interesting discussion, keep it up.

My 100th posting is the 97nth posting on this matter. A sad indictment of us all.

Here's a link to the piece of corporate whoring that's causing all the excitement.

Sounds like quite the dude. Sorry for your loss.

Anyone watch this? Hoping to get a tape of it soon, I'm curious to read people's impressions of it.

Great filmography, MBA

(Who is Mary Coughlin, btw? Should I know her? The name is vaguely familiar but I can't place it.) http://www.softshoe-slim.com/lists/c/coughlan.html Mary Coughlan is a great blues singer, who has done many fine interpretations of standards over the years. Unfortunately she has had recurring proble...

Basically the story before Kelly's death was a load of bollocks that had been blown out of all proportion so that the government could deflect attention from the failure to discover WoMD I could not think up a more succinct summing up. The Hutton enquiry taking place now is nothing more than navel ...

Grab the dvd edition asap, there's not that many available. I've already seen some shops with the cd edition. Its a long haul, 78 minutes, I've a feeling it'll be a grower.

Since I kicked off this thread, may I weigh in with my 2€ cents? Sure I've downloaded a copy of the album -its a stunning achievement, btw, particularly in its 11 track version-, I can't wait to get a proper copy of it. The download is mp3 sourced, and it shows. The sound is clear but thin. Any EC f...

Head out to PEI. Its Old Home Week. Need I say anymore?

Jon Brion is one of my favourite producers. Like Daniel Lanois or Brian Eno, he creates this unique tapestry of sound that is very much his own. I need to pick up his album, but I never see it anywhere! This might help, always get very efficient service from these guys. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jon...

Here's the text of a piece on Jon Brion in todays NYT mag. August 17, 2003 Lost in the Music By STEPHEN RODRICK A few moments before his regular Friday-night show at Largo, a club in Los Angeles, Jon Brion tries to conjure a catchy name for the music he loves. As a producer, Brion has collaborated w...

Never seen that SoL, how many songs are included? I've wondered if there were more than those included on the MLAR bonus disc... and, if so, whether they were available. Did you just tape it off of the TV? The audio for this show is on the Plugelectric boot http://www.elviscostello.info/disc/bootle...

As I recall, it wasn't as great as HW or SOS, but certainly had it's highlights including "Playhouse" which is an f'n great song (not written by Parker. Was it an old soul tune, or what?). -Ann Peebles original of 'Tear..' can be found on this, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/...

Graham is very much alive and still spitting mad. Check out

Does the final say really come down to Elvis? It's just that I can't imagine him giving the go-ahead for the band to record the song. Ho-hum, another Costello oddity I suppose. Come on all you musicians amongst us - what's the deal? I would assume EC has to give permission because he was moaning th...

Glad to hear it's good -- though I'm surprised, given it's director is Joel Schumacher...no one's favorite director, though there are some "Lost Boys" fans out there.... So was I. Sure it has that rich Schumacher look, the parts of Dublin used really are not that glamourous. It's the way ...

At the other end of the scale, the other Jerry Bruckheimer film of this summer, at least here in Ireland and the UK, Veronica Guerin , is just as good. Great performance by Cate Blanchett, horrificly real performance as the main bad guy by Gerard MacSorley, this film really delivers. The only off no...

There's a great version of The Bells by The Originals on Get Happy, here's where you can get the, ahem, original.

Status Quo have done a version of Pump It Up for inclusion on their next album, imaginatively called Riffs, due in November. Here's how Graham Parker reacted when he was so honoured. Will Elvis be so gracious? -Graham, I just saw that Quo has recorded 'Crawling from the wreckage' on their 'Famous in...

Oh, it's an import.... Well, wouldn't want to get BlueChair any angrier, so I won't ask him about those tricky pronounciations of "about" or the excessive use of the expression "eh?" :twisted: At least he is'nt saying things like For talk's sake . It used to always crack me up w...

Just saw him supporting Ron Sexsmith here in Dublin. Opened his set with an ironicly upbeat version of Nick Drake's Pink Moon and finished with a bland version of Wacko's Human Nature. In between was workmanlike, nothing exceptional. He was playing acoustic, so maybe he's better with a band. Good lu...
