Elvis Costello Fan Forum

:lol: Nope. I'm one of the best behaved (read: dorky) children I know. Only one detention in my life. For being late. It's where you sit and do your homework or classwork. For someone who already does her homework at home, it's really unnecessary, and I'd much rather have a course there. I did get a...

I think pophead2k was on the right line of thinking...maybe 30 years since the first album....and then the ten could stand for the First Ten Years release. I wish I could be clearer. I came across this somewhere in my internet travels, I'll see if I can find it again.

School schedule came in the mail today. Ugh. They gave me a Study Hall every day. Just....ugh.

'Best' is so subjective...I don't think I'd vote El for best either, but I don't know who I would. My little brother is entering the tenth grade and has an affinity for Wu-Tang as well.

I need whole grain bread. Or at least wheat.

Ouch.

Kids these days......wouldn't know good music if it hit them in the face! Why, in my day....*putters off grumbling incoherencies*

No, but seriously, I don't know what age you teach, but most people my age (highschool age) give me the blank stare or polite 'Oh cool.' Still, it's a pity, isn't it?

The Trust cover in black and white is always a good way to go.

Hissing of Summer Lawns -Joni Mitchell. What an amazing talent. I can sense this is the beginning of a long friendship between Joni and myself.

My condolences.

She is a beautiful cow. And whole milk is the only way to go. Unless one's on a diet or weight concious or something to that effect.

Mazel Tov and all the best to you guys.

Tomato and cheese sandwiches are better than remembered.

I already started the justifying of the purchase to myself. I am mentally prepared to spend 30 dollars on this, and if it is only the price for an import, then I will be pleasantly...not surprised, but I'll be happy at any rate.

Playing Jeopardy online with the boys, 2 Elvis questions. One about What's So Funny...and one asking you to name the artist who went with the debut album.

I'd go if I could, Sellersville isn't too far away form where I am. But I'll be down the shore (New Jersey) that week.

That's my dad to a 'T.' I come from a long line of music obsessives.

I Miss You -Incubus

Has started? Are you recommending anything in particular to him? No, not at all. I find it much better to have him discover things on his own. He's a lot like me in that way. You recommend something, maybe, but if you tell us to listen to something, we have an allergic reaction. Ruined David Bowie ...

One of the younger brothers heard 'Little Atoms' as 'lizards.' How, I don't know.

Iced tea. I don't do alcohol.

That's like some young people I've met who think that Elvis Costello, no matter how much of a brainy genius he is, and what level of undeniable rock star status he carries, is still some sort of irredeemably uncool nerd... Most people my age just go 'Who?' Barring that, it's 'Oh he's cool. I like t...

Thanks. Being short on computer savvy, I did actually try to search, but came up empty. That does sound fairly boring, but I can think of a lot of worse uses for eleven bucks and change.

Agreed. Does anyone know what it is? I'm too stingy to buy an album full of songs I already own on the good faith that the bonus material will be worth it.

Found a This Year's Model cassette in a toy shop (which also sold vinyl. CD, and cassette, strangely) today. The US version, but I got it because, well, it's Elvis.

A day spent in the hot sun with my two little brothers, aged thirteen and fifteen, does not bode well for pleasant family relations. Fifteen year old is at the age where he always thinks he is right, and he has alpha dog syndrome. One of his favourite pastimes is starting a conversation: 'Hey Cate, ...
