Yeah, where's all the hype? No articles, no interviews, nothing. The web site is still promoting NORTH-- good luck with that, I'm sure there are a lot of people who are going to be turned on to buying that album after visiting the site. It looks like he's finally getting the promotional strategy he ...

Another Only Flame Poll!
Okay, just for fun: here's ANOTHER poll about the suddenly controversial song "The Only Flame In Town"! If one version of this song had to be erased from history, never to be heard again, which would you choose to delete? I suppose I could have included ALL the various "ballad version...

The truth is that the phrasing of the poll question is slightly tricky. If TOFIT was the only EC song the world would ever hear, it would be a pretty unimpressive legacy for the beloved entertainer. The choice would be between a fairly throwaway pop song and a turgid, overwrought ballad. Neither ver...

I used to dislike the album version of TOFIT, but I have come to love it. The lyric is very clever, but I think the slow, ballad version just kills it by making it too turgid and self-important. EC obviously prefers it this way, and we now have three slowed-down versions available-- 2 on the GCW bon...

I think that since corporate radio has virtually ignored him (at least in the US) since Veronica, he probably figures that by not making videos he's cutting his losses. As a marketing tool, his earliest clips were to be used in place of a live appearance, and I think he'd rather perform live. Radio...

Did he make any videos to support ATUB or PFM? I've also seen the one for 13 Steps Lead Down, once, and it was nothing special. I'd only be interested in a DVD of them if he'd cared about having quality videos all along. No ATUB videos, which is a shame. (None for KV either.) The God Give Me Streng...

I think Elvis WOULD be interested in recording an audio commentary. He's a talker, and had plenty to say when he used to show up on shows like MTV's 120 Minutes in the early 90s. I think doing a commentary would be an easy job for him, much easier than the work it takes to write liner notes. Just si...

This sucks! If they are going to put out all the Costello videos, they should put out ALL the Costello videos!! It will drive me nuts if they leave off a handful, especially if it includes ...This Town... which I have never even seen. I would venture that most fans haven't seen that one, and it woul...

The great thing about the AB bonus disc is that it kind of functions as a sequel to AB, or a volume two. I don't think it usurps the original, but it is great to hear more from the same sessions. I think that this is the first real re-evaluation that this album is getting. The Rykodisc reissue sort ...

I second this! KV's bonus disc is actually better than KV itself. It's worth every penny.And No Coffee Table wrote:Get it! The bonus disc is one of the very best.normabuel wrote:I haven't purchased KV. I have the original release. Unless the board convinces me that the bonus disc is worth it, I won't buy it.

The Only Flame In Town kicks ass. If it were one of the songs on Painted From Memory, it would have been praised as everybody's favorite because of how catchy it is. I would fall with joy if Elvis ever made another pop album that had a single as great as TOFIT. I don't know why everybody hates it so...
