Re: Elvis on Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC radio 6), Oktober 6 & 7, 2018
Wow, I found "Look Now" to be stunningly beautiful. I always thought that one of the most brilliant decisions with recording Painted From memory was having "the great" Jim Keltner on drums. His Ringo-like playing really cuts through the syrupy stereotype that Burt Bacharach had i...

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
It must be a music business tread now. Paul McCartney did the exact same thing with his new LP; two songs released really early, then one more released a few weeks early (Elvis is releasing Suspect My Tears on Sept 7th).

Re: 'Under Lime' piano accidentally quiet?
While I agree that the piano could be higher in the mix; it doesn’t get lost. Steve definely shines through. It could have been completely lost in this complicated mix. It reminds of Shabby Doll a little.
P.S. I love Davey’s very Bruce-like bass playing as well.

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
Well, if you preorder on looknow.elviscostello.com , you do get a September 7th download of "Suspect My Tears".
I'm really loving "Under Lime". It definitely hearkens back to Imperial Bedroom, but sounds so fresh at the same time.

Though the recording of Poisoned Rose on KoA is such a classic. Ray Brown & Earl Palmer!! Plus such a terrific vocal. The recording of TNTPOHYL sounds a little muted/muffled to me. T-Bone and his engineers got a lot of praise for NR, but I found some of the songs sounding too "compressed&qu...

Re: It's official..."brilliant new album"
I'm hoping a new album will be available in 24-bit on hdtracks.com; YSLAMTW is. This vinyl craze lately doesn't make much sense to me since they are using the 24-bit digital master to make the LP. Why not just buy the 24-bit master and not have to deal with the pops and scratches? Also, since they a...

Re: Elvis tweets photos from a recording session ? Feb. 2018
This reminds a little too much of the build-up for American Tune last July. I bet you it is a vinyl-only single for Record Store Day in April.
Though, I can't tell you how much I dream of an Elvis album. 5 years since a collaborative album, 8 since a full solo album!!

Did anyone catch where this track was used in Sunday's episode, or was it cut?
I wonder if Elvis did record a version of "Backstabbers" as well, that got cut.

Re: Elvis Costello Solo Carnegie Hall June 24/25
I feel that I should defend "The Last Year of My Youth" from last night. I thought it was a little "catchier" musically than the Letterman version. Plus I can't be sure, but. i think he tightened up the lyrics a little. I definitely had a stronger opinion of the song last night. ...

Re: Elvis Costello Solo Carnegie Hall June 24/25
Amazing show!!! My personal highlights:
Walking My Baby Back Home
Shabby Doll
Ascension Day and You Turned to Me (on guitar!)
Come the Meantimes
Jimmie Standing in the Rain (always a favorite)
Alison (it always amazing to me how Elvis can bring such life to a song he's played so much)

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
Frankly, I find "Wake Me Up" to be the only song on the album that gets a little tiresome, speaking of song length.
"Sugar Won’t Work", "Refuse To Be Saved", and "Stick Out Your Tongue" really build up into quite a groove. "Wake Me Up" - not so much.

Re: Wishful Thinking: Songs You'd Love To See Elvis Cover
I always wished it had come to pass. Many years ago there was a charity tribute to Sgt. Pepper's where Elvis and Tom Waits were suppose to record "A Day in the Life". I guess their schedules did not make it possible. I just assume that Elvis would get the Lennon, main vocal; and Tom Waits ...

He was great here two years ago with The Imposters!

Re: Other artists' songs that remind you of EC
Is it just me, or does Radiohead's "OK Computer" generally just sound and feel a lot like "Imperial Bedroom"? Songs like "No Surprises" and "Let Down" just remind me of Elvis, though I can't point exactly to why.
