Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Get BY. This was the first EC album I ever bought and I can understand how it may have thrown you off a little bit, it did the same to me. I kept thinking is this the same elvis who did "radio radio" on snl? Since this was my introduction to EC i had no idea how ecletic his releases have b...

A month ago i was in a minor car accident and it was not until today that i was able to drop my car off at the body shop and pick up a rental car for the next seven days. Since it only has a cassette player and listening to clear channel's radion stations all across the dial has already become tires...

I love This Year's Model. Everytime i take a road trip it is the first album played. It's so fast and mean I can belt out everysong (bad, alone in the car singing) along with EC in my stereo. it is probably the second EC album i bought that i could not stop listening to it, after Brutal Youth. Also ...

first of all, I can't stand Plaboy to a Man, most of GCW. I like the demo versions of PTC better than the album. Chewing Gum and Pads,Paws and Claws are forgetable in Spike. I never really liked Moods for Moderns. Now I can't believe nobody has yet come out in defense of The Juliet Letters, that alb...

FOREIGNER, FOREIGNER, FOREIGNER.

All right i didn't include it because i thought it sounded too much like the original version, although i do think EC's vocal was much better in that alternate take. the two other versions are so different, On the Almost Blue Bonus Disc the song becomes a great country ballad while on the GCW Bonus ...

Hello Ladies and gentelmen. Step into the ring, cast your vote, choose your favorite version of an Elvis Costello classic. Listen to your albums, your reissue bonus disc, you bootlegs and singles, your downloads and ipods. This is not about the best but the one song interpretation that touches your ...

i just got the tim robbins film BOB ROBERTS and it was amaxing and eerie at the same time. Robbins does a fine job in playing a right-wing radical version of Bob Dylan (His albums are titled Times are changing back and Bob on Bob) who runs for senator of pennsylvania against a the incumbent played b...

Elvis is always first
Dylan will follow
I'm starting a mild case of obsession with Pavement, not full blown yet but i can definately see it coming.
I have all the Radiohead Albums but I don't think i'm obsessed with them.

Charlie Kaufman is my film obssesion.

The songs that immediately come to mind as my favorites:

Don't think twice it's all right
To make you feel my love
It ain't me babe
Like a Rolling Stone
Tom Thumb Blues

but if i go back and look through all my dylan albums, i'm sure i'll reconsider

No Miss Buenos Aires, I'm pretty sure liam Neeson gives his wife's eulogy and then follows it with "Bye Bye Baby" his son ends up playing the drums so that he could impress a girl which apparently is more important in the film than the loss of his own mother. [/quote]

me and my wife actually talked about this same topic after seeing the movie Love Actually when Liam Neeson's character bids farewell to his wife with a Bay City Rollers song (i think, I don't remember.) my choices were Elvis Costello's "Couldn't Call it Unexpected No. 4" Jolie Holland's &q...

I finally saw the aviator last night, seeing Scorcese lose at the oscars made me truly eager to see it. I'm a huge fan of Scorcese and but i can't help but feel that the oscar was right in going to somebody else this year. the only movie nominated for best director and best picture that i've seen so...

Tuesday, March 1. Five days left Pretty much VG. I can't wait to see those boots, thanks for the pics Spooky. Now to continue with the countdown. Tuesdays are pretty generic, they are only brought alive by the prospect of a new music or film release. (And no i'm not talking about the dvd release of ...

Monday, Feb 28 I guess I should have started the countdown yesterday, make it a full seven days before i get to see my first elvis costello concert. I spent sunday grudginly working, serving overpriced mexican food to folks after church. All i could think about was how next sunday i will be coming d...

I finished Chronicles a good while ago and found myself starting a Bob Dylan record collection, kind of filling in the blanks between my copy of Highway 61 Revisited through Blood On the Tracks, Desire, and hopefully find them all before Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft. I loved reading his book,...

Anarchy In The UK
God Save the Queen
Bodies
No Feelings
Holidays in the sun

pretty generic huh

1. Glodfinger
2. Octopussy (first bond film i saw)
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
4. Goldeneye
5. Diamonds Are Forever

i know but it was good drama it made me realized that almost every story i've seen or read about unfounded unfaithfullnes is modeled after that. I normally don't like shakespeare and his dirty mind but i throughly enjoyed Othello; i did read it during a weekend with the flu, maybe all the medicine h...

I just finished Who's Who In Hell . I approached this book with incredible dread, thinking it would be all literary and dull. That might be true for the first fifty pages, but I'm re-reading them just in case. This book surprised me. I can't remember when I've been so emotionally engaged in a book....

i know i started late in the thread but here it is. i had to read Othello for a class, enjoyed more than i thought. finished America: The Book by jon stewart and his cohorts, fun read. finished a play by Bertolt Brecht called The Good Woman of Setzuan currently rereading Heart Of Darkness by Joseph ...

ossie davis will be definately missed. I just got the criterion collection edition of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing where he playes The Mayor, which is a kind of sage in tattered clothing, alongside to Ruby Dee's Mother Sister. he was great, so cool, so real, he could never be anything but great.

i never really liked beck before "sea change."

green day's new album is overrated, bought it then sold it. but they were great when they first came out.

i have london calling, it's great but i just don't see them as amazing.

I know i might get some nasty replies but i have to say it.

The Clash. i like some of their songs but i just can't see how amazing everyone else things they are.

also the New York Dolls.
