According to this gobbledygook on the EC listserv, North may be downloadable. Good luck, I can't make head nor tail of it. -North popped up on SoulSeek last night... For Those who know: Add PaisleyGuy to your Userlist and browse... For those who WISH to know: got to http://www.slsk.org and download ...

I don't have it... although I think that track off of ATUB bonus disc is one of the best one there... was thinking about buying Flowers in the dirt though, anyone else have this? Is it worth a listen? :twisted: It's Macca's last good album to date, imo. EC commented that it was a bit over-produced,...

I'm curious about the hidden GH track, but part of me wants to wait and be surprised. I'm curious, too, and I'm almost afraid to read this thread lest I stumble across a spoiler! Don't set your expectations too high about this track, its neat but not that interesting. Any of you get the Byrds re-is...

Here are the final tracklistings Trust-Bonus disc 1. Black Sails In The Sunset [Alternate Version] 2. Big Sister [Alternate Version] 3. Twenty-Five To Twelve 4. Sad About Girls 5. From A Whisper To A Scream [Alternate Version] 6. Watch Your Step [Alternate Version] 7. Clubland [Alternate Take] 8. Yo...

There's a EC tape that has this unique sound effect, according to some of the guys on the EC listserv. -There is a Costello-Nieve tape from 1999 where the taper visits the john during God's Comic. -I've got this recording -- Arizona? Colorado? It's one of those. The guy who sent it to me (who record...

Trust cd has a funny anecdote about writing 7'o'clock for Dr Feelgood only to be rebuffed by the eloquent Mr Brilleaux! This excellent new edition is worth buying for this anecdote on its own. The new outtakes are great. Having heard them on bootleg, its truly wonderful to hear them direct, in part...

Mark Perry posted this response to my posting this item on the EC listserv. -Oh dear. This virtually obliges me to dredge up one of my more unsavoury little anecdotes. Apologies to those of you who have heard it before. It concerns the time I went to a concert at London's Conway Hall back in 1993. T...

Steve posted this on the message board of his website yesterday -I am still waiting confirmation of the details of the "North" tour, which begins late September. So, this may change, but it's fairly certain that the London live date will be at one of the concert platforms in the Royal Fest...

I agree with Mr Misery, PFM is a fine album that gets better with age. It's fine combination of EC's lyrics and BB's unique sense of melody make it one of EC's more durable albums. Judging by You Turn To Me , EC's seems to have regained his own sense of melody on North that, predictably enough, went...

These truly surreal messages are on Neil Young's Yahoo Rust group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rust/message/63808 Detroit 06-22-03 -This is the bathroom version. The taper (Bill) went to the washroom during "Bringing Down Dinner" so you get to hear what goes on in a men’s room during a Ne...

There's an 'unofficial' companion to Bespoke Songs, called 'An Arm a Leg a Severed Head - more songs of Elvis Costello' that is also worth checking out. It's got Allan Mayes, Tracie, Georgie Fame, T Bone Burnett etc. Here's a piece about his comp. http://www.geocities.com/anarmalegandaseveredhead/l...

Got the new Tom Ovans album yesterday. Vastly underrated artist, really tells it like it is, every house should have a few of his albums.

According to amazon.com the UK and Japanese editions of North are being released on Sept 15, with the US edition released on Sept 23. I think "North (+ 1 Bonus Track) [IMPORT]" is the UK one and "North (+ 1 Bonus Track) (+ Bonus DVD) [IMPORT]" is the Japanese one. Just wanted to...

Steve posted this rather interesting message on his message board today, Saturday. - I'm putting a couple of tracks up from the "Windows" album, I plan to release shortly. Find them on the MP3 page. This is a Cd of music and photographs. The photos are digital snapshots of almost every win...

Is anyone else troubled by this story? I am. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3076801.stm (For the US posters and others the background is that a leading British scientist who had been involved in a leak questioning the validity of British intelligence concerning WMD was found dead in a ...

He was pretty lame in Dublin as well. Glenn Tillbrook puts on a much better show, always a good night out.

I note that this Wille-Elvis-Diana song is available as a standalone track for Apple's iTunes Music Store for 99c. (If you live in the US... and own an Apple [doesn't everyone?]) DrJ Saw the cd in Abbey Discs this afternoon for €22, Dr J. It's not worth that, EC and DK's take on Crazy is barely wor...

This should keep everyone happy
