Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I decided not to play that Rudolf clip while the kids were around

Predictable I know, but I still love the original Miracle on 42nd Street. Also like to drag out Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Very cute:

A great result and hopefully one that will put the heart back into American politics and diplomacy. My only fear now is that the lunatics are lining up to take a shot at him.

To be honest, it's kind of rough, but fun to hear in a "guys goofing around in their garage" sort of way. Very hyper 80-ish sort of vocals. That's a pretty reasonable summation, and I cannot argue with that :) We probably spent more at the bar than we got paid most nights, which I think w...

:D :D Is that your voice at the end of "Sporting Life" saying, "Is that me?" No it's not... that was our guitar player who happened to be a guy named Steve Ralphs... his first cousin was a guy you may have heard of, Mick Ralphs who had a couple of small bands named Mott the Hoop...

Ok, well I bit the bullet and posted the two songs in question as well as a couple of other things done with various bands in the rockabilly vein. These are all pretty much rubbish and were recorded on the cheap... even on a walkman when we played in a pub. Anyway, enjoy (or not): The Tenants, Los D...

Well, I will see what I can do about posting an MP3 on rapidshare or somewhere, but be warned that it is a terrible terrible record. The only thing it has going for it is that according to one site here in Sydney that specialised in "punk" rarities, the site owner had heard about our recor...

I was Googling myself yesterday (as you do... yes, you know you do) when I happened to find this link to what I think was a Spanish Ebay auction for the one and only single any band I was ever associated with, released - I hadn't realised our record had travelled any further the a few suburbs down t...

My kids enjoyed My Neighbor Totoro . Definitely the gentlest Miyazaki film I've seen. Loved the cat bus. Have you seen Kiki's Delivery Service - if the kids liked Totoro, then they will equally love Kiki's... truly beautiful story telling. On one of my visits to Miyazaki's Ghibli Museum in Tokyo, t...

In that case, you may like to catch House of the Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower which were the films he made after Hero.

Never a doubt in my mind Spooky.

Sending nothing but positive thoughts your way. I know you will be fine!

I too am really sorry to hear this news Sincere condolences to you and your family.

Isn't Hoover a brand of vacuum cleaner?

I have always thought one of his best roles was in the movie that brought him international attention, "Two Hands"... brilliant! One spooky coincidence in all of this - if anyone has at all seen the preview for "Batman - The Dark Knight", the resemblance Heath Ledger bears (in hi...

Let me look into that Safari issue and see if I can find a hint that might work for you. Automator or Exposé may allow you to do that if there is nothing in Safari preferences. I have the answer... to flip between open browser windows, use the command-~ key combination. You can also use Spaces to ...

The latter. Ummmm, what is a tab? :oops: Tabs are where you have multiple pages within the one browser instance. They appear as tabbed pages across the top of the display area; click on a tab and the page is brought to the fore; to display pages in tabbed form, right click your mouse or control-cli...

I like Safari (and I like Firefox), but the thing that irritates me about OSX is that if you have a number of Safari windows open, it is not possible to move between them using the Alt-Tab key combination equivalent (as can be done using IE in Windoze). This is probably more to do with my relatively...

A big thanks... downloading as I type. Still one left. I hope I can return the favour one day... or at the very least buy you a drink the next time you are down this way. Doh!! Just noticed that the album downloads had been used up and that I had downloaded the press kit :( Might be nice if people ...

OK one more, and a good one! I thought I'd used up my three downloads of Elvis Perkins' Ash Wednesday , one of my five favorite albums of 2007, but apparently not.

Musicophilia , a present from my uncle. Seems quite interesting. By Oliver Sacks. He looks sort of like George Carlin. If you like that, let me recommend "Uncle Tungsten" also by Oliver Sacks. And as I mentioned earlier in this thread, hunt down some Haruki Murakami books. "Undergrou...

I can't really speak to your experience, mood, but didn't you think it was a little ridiculous that the son wanted to race against people who didn't have superpowers? Couldn't they organize a race for superheroes? But don't forget that the "supers" were frowned upon and the Incredibles fa...
