Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I do encourage folks to check out Franz Ferdinand beyond their radio presence. On the current record, there are some beautiful songs. They certainly have that driving, upbeat tempo-changing stuff you hear on the radio, which I like very much, but I think it's by delving into their 'prettier' side t...

9. Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better With Franz Ferdinand

!!!!

since when?

Its from 'Hours..' and I meant 05. I'm sorry, I've had a long weekend. I'll go change it. Shame! It was more fun when you were time-travelling. Bugger me, closing track of Hours and I absolutely couldn't place it. I played Hours about twice, such a dull record. I heard enough of the better songs on...

its halloweentime and I've decided I look rather good blue.

Trackwise? Well, todays early morning walk was: Lovable. EC (London 1986) The Deamers. David Bowie Imitation of Life. REM Acrobat. U2 I Want you. EC (Meadowbrook 05!!!!- you can hear me screaming in this track, if youre curious) Luquid Looks. Steve Nieve Andante, Andante. Abba Day Tripper. Beatles S...

I just filled my dj (15gb) with everything I had lying around the house on one massive playlist. Its very entertianing to see the strange combinations it throws at me.

If I ever have another 8am class I'm running off to join the circus. And I mean it this time.

since this seems to be the thing to do, and I happened to get a new camera recently, I'll give it a shot. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/lawngnome1414/46442545_144070505_32203577_1128569.png http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/lawngnome1414/megoose.png http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/...

I have the I'll Wear it Proudly cover, and if someone knows of a way to move music from a portable device (say, a dell dj) to a computer I'll share it. Its a wonderful cover and merits the effort.

Arcade Fire The more I play Funeral, the more I'm awestruck. It's such an original work, a feeling all of its own. OK I'm even more enthused knowing that Bowie is a fan and they've done both Five Years and Queen Bitch together, and that had me reaching for the CD today, but boy is it a cracker. The...

damn, I dont have a tv hooked up in my room yet! (I'm offically at college! woo!)

Since when does becoming a rockstar mean you cant express your politcal beliefs, be they popular or not? And, by the way, the amount of cheering every time I've heard this version played is a pretty good indication that these happen to be popular beliefs.

I dont really get the problem wuth BY either. Sure, its rough, but it works for that batch of songs. My only problem with GCW's production is how poorly all the insturment and vocal parts blend. All of the other Attractions stuff (and the recent stuff! I dont want to get jumped!) sounds more cohesiv...

The link's farked, so I can check, but I do remember it saying something about album and single sales. Could the single factor in? I'm sure with his many "hits" like Veronica, he's sold quite a few, and they wouldnt count towards normal album sales.

I lay it on the corrupting influence of Burt Bacharach - working with him would make anyone sell out.

haha! I think that made my day.

Brilliant! :roll: Repeat the same arguement, still not giving any rhyme or reason as to why! You must do this for a living... Anyways, I like this album too. I agree with most of whats been said about it already, but I really like it because its fun to listen to. I love IB, but it drains me. This is...

The early ones are all great too. The final scene of PLU where they all stumble drunkenly down the hall makes me giggle.

Yahoo, Mtv, and vh1 all have a few on their sites, but mostly short clips. Worth a look nonetheless if you're totally unfamiliar.

Your time will come, I promise! You need to go to college somewhere with a vibrant music scene within walking/public transport distance-- Boston, for instance! 8) I dont have the money to go out of state yet, so its Michigan State for now. Not bad really, quite a few good acts show up at the Bresli...

I would like to go to shows alone for all of those reasons, but I dont have my driver's lisence yet and live 60 miles from the closest reasonably sized venue.

Fair enough, nothing wrong with a bit of literary addiction every once in a while. Better for teens than smack and crack. Yes, I love PP. HDM is a masterpiece of imagination and detail. I loved every last word. http://www.hisdarkmaterials.org/ covers details of the latest rumours. http://www.imdb.c...

A movie!?! His Dark Materials?!? cool...

and its not that I like HP, (I dont really) its just so fucking addictive. You cant stop reading once you start.

She did look a little confused. I'm not sure what was going on, but I dont think I Want You was supposed to happen. The stage was set for EH and LC to come back on, but the rest of the band walked out, Elvis with another guitar (the roadie was holding one out, he was ignored) and went into it. Brill...

Fuck! I missed Hurry Down Doomsday!?!

mmm... bootleg...
