Re: Elvis interview on Dutch radio, june 2008

I can't get any of these to play. The computer says they have a .wmv extension that doesn't match the contents of the file, and then Windows player says it doesn't have the right codecs. Gibberish to me. Any suggestions??

In Praise of Davey Faragher

Last night's Ryman show prompts me to again praise Davey for his ability to add background and harmony vocals to the show. For these new Momofuku songs, until the extra players came out for the encores, it was Davey's lot to have to do all the background vocals the "supergroup" do on the n...

Well, I was going to post my impressions of the show last night at the Ryman but Mr. Richey's account hits it right on the head. I can't say this is the best show I've seen Elvis do in a while, cause I thought the Emmylou tour and the Toussaint tour were fantastic shows, but this is the best EC and ...

Re: 'Lost Highway will release Momofuku from Elvis Costello'

I was one of the lucky ones who got the LP from MusicDirect back on the 17th, and I've played it several times now (and taped it for the car). Have to admit, first impression was bad. Thought the production was terrible, didn't like a lot of the songs at first. But I'm very bad on first listens, ver...

Lou Reed circa 1978 on Elvis Costello

While thumbing through some old clippings looking for signs of Phil Lynott, I happened upon this assessment of Elvis' appearance from Lou Reed, chosen by the NME as one of it's "quotes of the year" in 1978: "I believe in glamour. Tom Waits? Why would I want to listen to him? He's ugly...

Re: Hope And Anchor 1980 w Belmont. Boot listener p.o.vs please

I predict that if they do a "deluxe" Get Happy reissue with a live album, this will be the show they will use (hoepfully more complete than the radio broadcasts).

Sabreman asked: Was this broadcast by WHFS?

Yes. I missed the initial live broadcast because I was there. They re-aired it in 1979 and I got it on tape. (but they cut Blame it on Cain, for some reason.)

BTW, that drunken guy yelling was right over my shoulder!

Yeah, I have their preview of the show, it concentrated on his earlier December show in Philly. I can't find anything reviewing the DC show from them in my stack though.

Thanks also for this Dave and kudos for asking Elvis! I've always wondered what this song is but never gotten around to asking the question to either Elvis or on the Board.

Re: Mystery song: "Broken" (not the one from Mighty Like A Rose)

Yes, I asked him what this was after one of the shows that year.

It's a David Ackles song called "Sonny Come Home". Appears on Ackles' first LP.


I think the first line is "these woods"

Yes, whenever Elvis was asked about this one in UK TV interviews he would roll his eyes and also swear that "you'll never see it again". However, it was included in a TV special in the UK of the greatest commercials of all time, it was way up in the top 10, and they not only showed it but ...

There are only a few Armed Forces songs from that show, it's from a tour long before the LP was recorded. They could do the whole Palomino ...
