Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I like the Village preservation Society, i bought it a while ago and it prolonged my appettite for the kinks. During the week i purchased: In your Honor- Foo Fighters they were my favorite in my teens, especially their first two albums but i felt like i outgrew them until recently when i began liste...

It's kind of tough to choose just one, i'm sitting here with my EC albums invading my computer desk trying to decide which three song progression i like the most. These are some that I haven't seen in this post yet. TYM Lipstick Vogue Night Rally Radio Radio ATUB Little Atoms All This Useless Beauty...

I like his earliest albums, TYM is one of my all time favorites. Armed Forces is amazing as well, it has this unperceived genius which almost all of his albums do. AF is one of the first to have that especially when you listen to the lyrics and what EC was trying to convey. After that he just keeps ...

it is not the most played EC but it is certainly one that peaks my interest whenever i listen to it. it was also one of the last of EC's albums that i purchased. 1. Deep Dark Truthfull Mirror 2. God's Comic 3. Baby Plays Around 4. Satellite 5. Tramp the Dirt Down 6. ...This Town... 7. Stalin Malone ...

okay, that was a very interesting conversation and i agree it is confusing as well. Bono was giving excuses and Kot judges. Anyway i'm not a big fan of U2 but my wife is and just as she's been getting to know more about EC, i've been getting to know more about U2. especially when we go to Miami for ...

Matador at Fifteen a 2 disc and one dvd compilation of matadors's greatests hits and rarities between 1999 and 2004. It ranges from interpol to mission of burma, cat power and guided by voices. as well as some stephen Malkmus and the jicks and belle and sebastian. I think its indie heaven. right rig...

Stephen Malkmus has a new album coming out this month.

I know but i haven't listened to any of his solo stuff yet, i'm either afraid i won't like it as much as pavement or i still hope they get back together

pavement- Slow Century It was almost as if i woke up wanting to get it. This is the collection of all of their videos as well as two live performances and a 60 minute documentary by Lance Bangs. the videos are some of the weirdest funniest clips i've seen but i'm looking forward to the documentary t...

I'm on a cronenberg craving ever since i bought Videodrome so the last two dvds i bought were: Rabid- his second film, a slightly campy, man made vampire movie. Naked Lunch- it just came in yesterday and i can't wait to watch it. I also have this distinct memory of my dad reading the Burroughs book ...

Lawngnome
I think you can order it from barnes&noble.com. it is such a good read i just finished part one last night, i want it to keep reading but my eyelids gave out.

I think I'm the last person in this forum to get my hands on COMPLICATED SHADOWS, i will probaly start reading it as soon as I log off too, i just got it today! while waiting For EC's Latest Bio, i finished reading the last of my Bertolt Brecht Plays- The Caucasian Chalk Circle. I love his plays the...

Black and White Night- Roy Orbison along with EC and others as his backing band. I'm tempted to say that THE COMEDIANS cover is better than EC's two originals, but that's only a tiny bit of temptation. Lifted or The Story is in the Soil.....- Bright Eyes. WIDE AWAKE is one of the BEST new albums I'v...

I started with Brutal Youth and then found myself going almost in chronological, skipping PTC and GCW, order from there. Trust is definately a likeable starter but i definately agree that Spike is worth listening to.

American History X, just for the sick idea of curbing somebody.

I'm taking my last to finals for my AA degree today so I decided to spend the time in between raiding the local Borders, so besides last week's purchase of KoA (This is the first time I'm listening to it and I'm slowly becoming attached to it.) Here is what i bought today: Singles Going Steady-The B...

I just watched VIDEODROME, by David Cronengberg, that was pretty disturbing and yet i'm looking forward to seeing more of his films. IRREVERSIBLE Directed by Gaspar Noe, this is one messed up french flick, the narrative is backwards like Memento so the intense ending to the consequences of a very di...

Spooky

You can always buy the rhino reissue and keep the 1995 version. I had the same problem with my copy of brutal youth, even though that bonus disc was lacking so much, i ended up with both on my cd tower.
