Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Well wouldn't you just know it!! Just yesterday I placed an order for that very DVD at a US online store (DeepDiscountDVD). I even did a quick search of Australia's biggest online store (EzyDVD) just in case, as you said, it had slipped in under the radar, but they didn't have it listed. It is inter...

Gotta love the Nordine... I have just a couple on the REsearch Incredibly Strange Music CDs. I See Red - Split Enz Can Blue Men Sing The Whites? - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band White Light, White Heat - Velvet Underground (or Lou Reed) Black is Black - Los Bravos Colours - Donovan Brown Eyed Girl - Van Mor...

rockabilly. how painful. sam, if you follow that up with some country rock, you'll find yourself out in the garage french kissing your tailpipe. garbage. bleed like me. Do not knock the rock (-a-billy) oily!! When the Stray Cats reignited the musical form in a big way (yes, I know The Cramps were a...

This in this morning's Sydney Morning Herald : " Stalwart band Split Enz will today announce their plans to re-form for a tour. Neil Finn, his brother Tim - who founded Split Enz in 1972 with another singer-songwriter, Phil Judd - and the rest of the re-formed band will announce a tour of Austr...

Mickey Rourke (when I was much younger of course) - in his Angel Heart persona (I was young and confused)

As for Bamboo's comment regarding Watching the Detectives sucking, I have to disagree completely... Huh? We were there on different nights. But it was, I imagine, still the same arrangement... and from your comments, I was of the opinion it was the arrangement you had problems with... if I am wrong...

Water Dragon here

Oh ok, I have one more thing....what's up with this guy admitting he's not at all familliar with Elvis' works and calling himself a music reviewer? I mean he doesn't have to be a rabid fan like those of us here, but come on, at least be able to throw in an "Angry Young Man" reference. I u...

I am afraid that I have to agree with Peter McCallum as far as his summation of the Il Sogno Suite is concerned. I found that at times it felt like EC was trying to be a little too clever for his own good and as a result this was rather disjointed and never really got the opportunity to fly. having ...

Also 'Plaything Or Pet', a former regular poster here.

Nope, definitely the Pope of Pop, as that (PoP) is how he always refers to himself... and he has been on the Costello listsrv for many years now.

PoP, hope you're enjoying your stay here. Looks like you are! PoP aka the Pope of Pop, is actually a local Sydney lad (named Paul if I recall correctly). A very affable fellow with whom I shared a drink or three at the Merchantile Pub in the Rocks a few years back - in fact, he has been seen postin...

Congrats... my brother has two step-sons who have a disability that is in some way related to spina biffita but a lot more extreme (mentally as well as severely physically handicapped), and if his development as a person as a result of caring for those kids (now adults) is anything to go by, the rew...

26th March 1952 - Nat 'King' Cole - "Unforgettable"

The only film that springs immediately to mind is the 1972 disaster flick, The Poseidon Adventure... but that doesn't meet all of the requirements.

I'll let you all know what the show is like in a little over three weeks

Fantastic news LTZ... my two certainly have given me a renewed lease on life (at my age it is a matter of sink or swim and so far I haven't swallowed too much water )... I wholly recommend children as a great substitute for the fountain of youth.

Picked up a few new things lately (surprise, surprise)... Itami Juzoh DVD Collection containing A Taxing Woman 1 & 2, Minbo no Onna (The Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion), Supa no Onna (Supermarket Woman) and Marutai no Onna. Adventures of Superman Series 1 (original TV series starring George Re...

A Rival - Alannah Myles

Thanks Otis.. always been a fan of Richard Griffiths and have always wanted to grow that Jimmy Edwards-like fur on my face - not sure about being partnered off with Zebrasnake though

** SPOILER ALERT! ** Was that the play that Ann Darrow had been trying to get a part in at the beginning of the film? Perhaps it served two purposes - to remind Jack Driscoll of what a fool he was to let her go, and to tie the beginning and the end of the film together(?). Maybe I am an insensitive ...

Your psychic powers astound me. I used to sing in a band called "Rusty Romeos" (apologies to the 3 Stooges) and as a result was often referred to as Rusty.

King Kong was a major disappointment for me. There were moments where I thought Jackson must have been on something.

Oh not El Greco please, his paintings frighten me. Apparently El Greco suffered from a form of astygmatism which was the reason his figures always appeared elongated. Another artist who is not usually associated with brush and pen, but whose work in that medium really impressed me in a Tokyo exihib...

Funny, someone once said the same thing to me. Well, it was Edward Munch, but otherwise, it was the same thing.

I'm a Munch man myself...

Johnny Depp should at least get a nomination for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (regardless of how anyone feels about the film)... the guy adds a touch of geius to any role he is given and deserves the gong!
