Elvis Costello Fan Forum

At least I haven't got my head stuck up my own arse.

I hope some of the leechers stick aroung to seed (or should it be "pip" ?).
Thanks for the honourable mention Otis, I'm happy that you like it. OJ always used to mess up, but instead of apologising they would just laugh and keep on going....

It's an interesting thought though.

I watched "The Godfather" on US TV late last night. The intimate scene after Michael Corleone's wedding, where the virgin bride exposes her breasts to the groom for the first time, was shown with breasts mosaic-ed out. The rest of the movie was pretty much intact. I then switched over to s...

les bains douches - a Joy Division bootleg.

The House Soup looks interesting.

When seen in the context of the movie, "She" is a very powerful recording. Julia Robert's tears of joy give an added emotion to the song that isn't to be found when you listen to the bare recording. Personally I think it's one of the more powerful movie/music moments - and I'd say that eve...

I think "Beautiful" is an incredible song - I first heard it sung by Yuko at karaoke (Yuko of the signed back) and it turns up regularly on playlists on my iPod, or on mixes I make for people. To have Elvis record it is, well, spooky. As I've always said, I'm a big big fan of Elvis when he...

You've Got My Number - Undertones

It looks like a two horse race... Have you seen the DVD of "Here Are The Young Men"? It's a DVD made of a 2nd or 3rd generation VHS so the picture quality isn't great, but the sound is very good. I've watched it a few times now, and it's pushed Dead Souls and Shadowplay to the top of my li...

the blue blue third - rip rig & panic

I guess Boo would have said to him "I'm getting kind of sick of you"

I once dated a Portuguese/Japanese girl who was singing in a cabaret, Her song was a few bars of "On The Street Where You Live". She used to rehearse the song when she visited my apartment (her English wasn't very good, so it was difficult for her). Thinking I was helping her out, I downlo...

Let me see now... John, Olivia, Zeb(ulon), Esther, John-Boy, Jason, Ben, Mary-Ellen, Erin, Elizabeth and Jim-Bob-yer-pants (as we used to call him). It was compulsory Monday night viewing (BBC2, 8.10pm) in the home of the young Stormwarning, whose very first crush was on the pre-pubescent, pre-butch...

I'm happy to see the refrence to The Velvets.

The third OJ album was named "The Orange Juice". When asked why Edwyn responded that it was because the Velvets third album was called "The Velvet Underground". It was a tribute, of sorts.

I really like allmusic, it's just that your choice of song was a coincidence. Last week I found somebody on the internet who had 104 versions of the song - I just downloaded the entire folder.

There's some strange folk out there...

Dark End of The Street - Raging Horns ( I know how they feel)

I'm getting kind of sick of Elvis' square arse

When I saw The Pixies last year, Frank Black made one guitar change - electric to acoustic. The show had much more continuity than EC shows of the last few years - to be honest I find the changes distracting.

I saw solo KT on Later, and was very impressed, although her recordings and live appearances as a band have left me less enthralled. Here's a bit of trivia: How may degrees of Separation between Kaiser Chiefs and Nelson Mandela ? 1. Kaiser Chiefs are from Leeds. 2. Infamous football (soccer) team Le...

Funny you should say that. because I have 104 versions of Dark End of The Street. Allmusic.com lists 108, but only 53 of them are UNIQUE, and omits versions by Prince Buster, The Werewolves of London, Viggo Mortenson (I kid thee not), Alex Chilton & Teenage Fanclub, Robin Coffinshaker, Robert Wy...

I recently downloaded an mp3 version of the Welcome to The Voice show, I think from NY Town Hall 2000-06-09.
Does anybody have artwork or a tracklisting ? EC sings on 4 or 5 of the tracks.

Thanks in advance
Your friendly neighbourhood Storm

You sir, are a gentleman.
thank you.

I've got to get one of those when I'm back in Tokyo next week...
