Re: Word docs

Perhaps save as PDF's to make them smaller and more manageable, then upload as others mention above?

3xEC books- Every Day I Write the Song, A Singing Dictionary

3x books as seen below. Great for guitar and piano and they are pretty detailed too. I bought them when they came out and they are well used but not tatty. Couple of slight creases, and slight wear to corners and spine. Decent condition overall. First one has first 4 uk albums and then Taking Libert...

Can anyone point me to midi drums for Girls Talk please?

Hi, Friend and myself play Costello stuff (and a few others) with a backing track but really struggling to get this one and really could do with a link to the midi of it...well specifically just the drums. Would anyone be kind enough to point me to a site or even drop me a line to attach on a mail? ...

Re: Blog on the Tracks interview Oct 26 2010

What exactly did you think the point was of asking about the Ray Charles thing?
Did you think that after all these years there's any more to say?

Re: My Elvis and Cynthia Lennon story

I think the only reason I ever thought that was that I am sure he said it was a gift from a 'dear friend' once on stage. Maybe the Cynthia link cemented that myth in mind. I do recall going backstage after the Manchester Apollo gig and EC was asked what he thought of the comparisons to John made by ...

My Elvis and Cynthia Lennon story

Hi All, I thought I would share this story with you... I went to Manchester Apollo with a big Elvis fan friend of mine, to see him play with the Confederates , and I am guessing it was somewhere around '88? I may have the ticket stub somewhere and will photograph it sometime. Anyway, it was a freezi...

Re: Transfering EC live show FLACs to CD

Re: EC plays live on the Simon Mayo Radio show Weds 27 Octob

When I say 'he is a bit of a twat', it isn't with any particular vitriol, I just find his 'ironic' , 'know it all' approach not to my taste.
I doubt he will get through the interview without some cringe worthy question or two....but we shall see..

Re: EC plays live on the Simon Mayo Radio show Weds 27 Octob

It is with great regret that my first post is a little negative...but..I find Simon Mayo to be such a bloody irritating twat.
I hope he is ill that day

PS-I could see him doing a Kinks song or maybe an early Fleetwood Mac?
