Otic - EC is playing with Steve at the Palacio de Congresos in Granada on 30th October. Here's a link:

I did but no amount of eye candy is going to make the song sound good!

Over the years I always listen to the way he says "true" when he sings the line "Alison, my aim is true" for the last time in the song before he usually goes onto a medley. I like the variations in the way he elongates the word.

Gilli/Bambooneedle How about Shipbuilding or Pills and Soap? If they don't get you strutting your funky stuff then nothing will! It's funny but in concert Elvis used to sometimes get quite humpy when people didn't get up and dance. He should realise that his music is not always the easiest to dance ...

Does the final say really come down to Elvis? It's just that I can't imagine him giving the go-ahead for the band to record the song. Ho-hum, another Costello oddity I suppose. Come on all you musicians amongst us - what's the deal? I would assume EC has to give permission because he was moaning th...

"Suspect My Tears" and "Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter" -- both played live on the '99 tour, both never heard from again. Both deserve to be recorded with the Imposters the next time they make an album that is not quite so rock & roll as When I Was Cruel. These were both fantastic...

There are some marvellously warped minds out there. My fave is Rope's The Phase IV Tangalooloos.

The only feeble offerings I could offer would be cover bands called Stairs (for Steps) and Dry Dry Dry (for Wet Wet Wet).

Typically I was out of the office yesterday so I missed this. But I came in today and was on the webbernet first thing. I too have booked tickets. And it's a Saturday night!

What row are you in Gillibeanz?

Anyone else going?

Assuming EC's given permission (which I'm sure he has) no doubt he'll be using the royalties to pay for the wedding (whenever it happens)...

try these...

Beaten to the punch!

I too am glad that you're OK Spooky.

I don't quite understand the "With full underwear this time" comment but all sorts of thoughts have run through my naughty little head. I must get back onto the Photo Gallery! It's hot enough over here as it is!!

Take care.

Steadman Pearson from 5 Star?

Why can't a man stand alone?

Yeah, but can we forgive you

Rolf Harris
Skippy
Danni Minogue (Kylie yes, Danni no) and
Neighbours/Flying Doctors/Home & Away etc?

And you always beat us at cricket.

I love Peter Kay. He is a genuine comic genius and is still true to his roots.

Phoenix Nights just has so many comic moments. I love the bits at the end when they show the auditions. My favourite is the one legged Elvis who does Blue Suede Shoe.

Looking at a comment made by Noise Radio in another thread (Seen the new North EC pics?) ie My favorite all time cover picture is Brutal Youth, though, it made me wonder what everyone's fave cover is.

Fire away...

He's a nice bloke to chat to. But musically he's on a different planet to "the future of the four strings...the one and only Mr Bruce Thomas".

For me it's Steve. I reckon even Elvis would have to agree with that!

Further North? Or One Norther (for you Spinal Tap fans)

Not me! I'm gonna wait until it's officially released. I'm still savouring the new edition reissues...

Did anyone on the board go and elevate themselves to "True Fan" (or obsessive as the case may be)?

Go on, admit it if you did - you're amongst friends...

I'm not keen on a lot of the Juliet Letters, I dislike Veronica, DDTM (although it is more palatable because of You really got a hold on me), Sweet Pear, Broken, Gigi, Eisenhower Blues. I even sometimes find me skipping Shipbuilding and Pills and Soap depending on my mood. As a GENERAL thing I prefe...

To tie in with the tour?

This should set the cat amongst them...

What about Sheena Easton...?

*awaits severe backlash and profanities*

I've heard EC do MBF as part of a segue on solo tours. I don't particularly like FITD but I'm not a fan of Mr Thumbs-Ups solo stuff anyway.
