Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I'll choose a small wedding.

I saw the Graduate and there's no way I could carry that cross.

To renew and broaden the thread I'll pose

Love or Sex?

Rarely getting either, I prefer sex.

Unlike love, sex generally has a definitive ending after which you can get up and make a sandwich.

Thanks for the input.

I will definitely pick it up.

As for Paul's Boutique, I can't agree more. A masterpiece.

If you had Beatles White, Paul's Boutique and Imperial Bedroom on a desert island, you'd be home free until your volleyball deflated.

Strawberry Fields Forever.

The best Psychedelic song ever.

The best song ever.

I prefer "really classic".

Does anyone have an opinion on it?

I have not heard it yet.

Paul's Boutique is one of my all time favs, and I have heard TT5B compared to it.

Anyone?

I've come to the conclusion that my posts are either:

So jaw droppingly brilliant that to reply would be inane or ...
So mind numbingly stupid that the reader passes out before my entire post is read.

I happen t







Sorry, I nodded off.

Welcome Dog!

But watch your step when treading through the "When Elvis wants to Fuck" thread. Your liable to step in some people shit.

I'd put on Chewing Gum.

So quirky, but sooo great. With a guitar solo that wakes the dead. Love it or hate it, but you can't help but have a major reaction to this song.

Jerry Springer just called and he wants to know all 'yalls availability for a taping next week.

Not yet.

I can barely print, dude.

Will this affect the bench warrant currently out on me for getting a blow from a turtle two weeks ago in Houston?

To complicate things, the turtle was only 14, and was a cousin of mine.

I was with Jack Ryan at the time.

About yer girlfriend. Does he have a sister?

Maybe we could double.

Just kidding. Late in Chicago and I'm going for the cheap shots.

OK, I get it now.

I'll stick with Fugazi.

... Skyrockets in flight...

Oh wait, did I misunderstand the thread?

I guess I'm confused.

Silly Love Songs for me, anyway.

Or anything by Fugazi.

If Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, and AC DC formed a supergroup, they could call it:


AC EC DK DC

This is a rehash, but in the sprit of the thread I'd say:

Elvis Costello: Best modern pop songwriter of the 20th century.

Elliott Smith: My favorite modern pop songwriter of the 20th Century.

I know I've stated this before, but as far as The Beatles I'd have to go with:

Beatles White: My clear favorite.
Abbey Road: The Best

This guy must be alot smarter than me, cuz I don't know what the FUCK he's talking about.

Doug is obviously a guy who likes to hear himself talk. Which is great cuz he obviously needs to afix himself to others to feel alive. I do the same thing with my copy of Penthouse every month. But serious musical critiscm shouldn't intertwine itself with the artists' romantic endeavors. Except mayb...

I've always been partial to "I Feel Alright".

Maybe cuz I don't.

Here's a little game some might find interesting. Pick two songs by an artist, one which you would consider their best song, and the other which you would consider your favorite song. Confused? Let me start the ball rolling. Hey Jude - The Beatles. I consider this to be the best song of theirs. A un...

Surfing an Elliott Smith forum tonight, as I often do, I was pretty taken aback by alot of the general hostility towards EC and his music. http://www.blamonet.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50643 I was tempted to chime in but after 90 or so mostly indignant posts I just figured "What's t...

Can somebody PLEAZZZZ! post to this damned forum.

Im sick of seeing my name in the Last Post column!

Believe it or not I had to look up the word "pastoral" to submit an educated entry in this category.

After doing so, the only thing I can come up with is:


"The Green Acres Theme Song"
