Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Like Neil, I was particularly looking forward to the Get Happy deluxe edition or the equivalent 1980 love concert release. My guess would have been "Factory Act" at the Hope And Anchor May 1980. It was a day of industrial action in London and a fellow undergraduate tipped me off so I heade...

Will Self, author, journalist and one time alleged cocaine snorter can self harmonise with himself, his wife and his children (and other relatives no doubt but I think I might be labouring the point here !)

Jeremy Dylan says

Hey - I've only done that twice!

But you're about the only person I've ever known who handed in a request and got it played -respect !!

Jeremy Dylan says That seems a little suspect. I like country music, indie music, pop music, rock'n'roll, rhythm and blues, delta blues, merseybeat, jazz, funk, grunge, dixieland, folk, powerpop and punk. What personality type do I have? I reckon it makes you a man who wears a stripy purple blazer t...

Brilliant - made me - a lot !!

More to the point, does anyone have anything that would actually play 78's ?

There goes my hopes for a couple of pints of Magners on October 16th

Great Little triggers, I'll get some recordings sorted out to distribute !

Moodswung wrote My team may not win, but it will be damn good looking! Now if you are to follow the path of the great Arsenal sides everyone has to be pig ugly ( with the exception of Henry of course !)

Poor Deportee wrote I for one am going to go into the album cold. Me too ! A kindly person from the emerald isle gave me a pre-release version of SP&S and I buried it under a heavy pile of vinyl so I wouldn't be tempted. i admit to owning a few live recordings :roll: :oops: but the studio versio...

Hate the fact that a 16 year old girl won it - - only joking, hope it inspires her immensely.

I remember clearly playing MLAR whilst bathing my son aged 2 and getting him to sing "Window" during CCIU. 4 and at that time his favourite album was Big Audio Dynamite - now at 20 he's into his drum and bass stuff and it seems BAD is a greater influence than Elvis though he did come to th...

I'm totally at peace with the idea of Tony Millionaire doing all of EC's album covers going forward.

Couldn't agree more - and lets face it, EC isn't totally photogenic even slimmed down !

Billboard.com had a link about National Ransom (which didn't come up ) but it uses a photo of Bruce Thomas circa Imperial bedroom,on it's Elvis "Artist" page - how thrilled must EC be to be misrepresented thus ! :lol: Link : http://www.billboard.com/album/elvis-costello-the-attractions/nat...

Elvis must be going back in time if £50 is about the same value as $1000 !!!

Hope I'm not stealing his thunder but I'm sure you'd all like to join me in congratulating VG and Mrs VG on the arrival of Jessica yesterday afternoon weighing in at a respectable 7 pounds !!

Sounds like a good day to me !

To be honest, when I saw the Snickers advert with Mr. T and the football player rolls around on the pitch feigning injury, I did think of you , VG

thanks for the appreciation after my f-up over the mono recording. I'm reluctant to try mediafire after it apparently wrecked my MakeTorrent software and consequently spoiled me upping the Boston show from April. If anyone wants a hard copy, I'll gladly record the show onto CD and mail them out

I asked my son about the A-team to see if he could work out who was whom in our line up and before he knew my role, he said Face is the witty lady-killer (typecasting I thought) but somehow he wasn't convinced when I told him ! He wasn't surprised about VG as Mr.T however !!

Great Neil, sorry I missed you in Cardiff- do you do dime ? If not , I'll bring my recording of Cardiff for you !

I knew 9th was out of order for both VG (and miniVG of course) and me but 16th looks good for me !

Now in the frame for 25th or 18th due to paternal dementia !! (His not mine!!)

Won't be able to make the 25th- we're off that week and in Devon to decorate my father's house at the end of the week - sorry !
