Elvis Costello Fan Forum

if you read the fine print, the $35 only gets you the ability to purchase up to four tickets in ONE presale. it looks like the people that are doing this are the same people who run a similar thing for the police! (coincidence...i think not!) i understand that this is a way to keep scalpers under co...

Blog review : Speaking of John Fogerty, he and Elvis Costello have something very much in common. They are two of the only music legends in history where their most popular songs are also their best songs. Most bands would say that certain album tracks that never became hits were their best. Most m...

Maybe she meant 'did well' in relation to other places as opposed to an objective measure of success. In other words, it sold 11 copies in the U.S., 3 copies elsewhere. :lol: I guess the laugh is on me, as I am the owner of one of those U.S. smash hits! I bought one too. I wonder the other two peop...

one more thing: davey's backing vocals (along with those of the other "special guests" on the album) punctuate the songs so well!

maybe it's meeting me where i am right now as far as the style and production go, but there is no denying that they are beautifully constructed songs with classically brilliant elvis lyrics and stellar musicianship. i also like how loose and fun it feels. for all of these reasons, i place it in the ...

Discretionary plurals (from wikipedia) A number of words like army , company, crowd, fleet, government, majority, mess, number, pack, and party may refer either to a single entity or the members of the set that compose it. Thus, as H. W. Fowler describes, in British English they are "treated a...

Having heard the 'Ryman' version of this album I am so loving it. 'Flutter An Wow' is my fave at the moment , the best use of motoring euphemisms for relationships since Chuck Berry's No Particular Place To Go . My Three Sons is astonishingly direct . Overall the pacing is great . I can't wait to h...

the chorus of this one reminds me of the melody of "starless summer sky" by marshall crenshaw, if anyone knows that song.

i definitely hear "long honeymoon" blending well both thematically and musically with this one...a medley in the live shows, perhaps?

Grimey's Says Record Store Day + Elvis = Awesome! Most of my time this week will be devoted to bringing your attention to our Record Store Day Festival and Sale this Saturday, but I just HAVE to start with this special announcement... ELVIS COSTELLO Will Meet Fans and Sign Copies of his new MOMOFUK...

i appreciate the advance reviews. now i am even MORE excited to get my hands on a copy!

from Complicated Shadows:

"By the time their son Matthew- named in honour of Declan's grandfather, whose middle name he shared- was born in Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton on 21 January 1975, the newlyweds had moved into the flat below Declan's father's house."

this new album sounds better with each detail we get. jim's on board...that's cool by me. i saw him at the opry when elvis and emmylou were there, and i was quite impressed. i didn't really know much about him before that, i hate to admit. another example of elvis leading me to another great artist.

That's encouraging. To me, anyway.

me too.

i thought i read somewhere online prior to the TYM rerelease that they are going to release an armed forces deluxe edition, but i did not hear any album slated to be "deluxe-d" beyond that.

i would recommend buying from music direct if you are worried about reliability. i am a record collector and have had nothing but good luck with these guys.

Does anyone know how to get this song? Apart for buying the Japanse version... I got my vinyl copy today and was hoping that it would be on there as a bonus track but no dice. :( iTunes doesn't have it either. can someone please repost this? i don't really want to have to spend $10 for one song whe...

what a great show! ec performed three songs: that's where it's at get yourself another fool bring it on home to me (with otis clay, who elvis said was his "insurance policy" for playing between solomon burke and aretha franklin.) ec also came out during "a change is gonna come" a...
