Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Answers must be in the form of a question!!! So...

"This Person Worked with Diana Krall on the "Girl In The Other Room" Album"

"Who is Elvis Costello?"

Dingdinging!

What's the problem with m4a files? If you're using iTunes, they'll play on iTunes, then burn 'em to a cd.

DrJ

Who are they and what is their significacne? What piece of arcane EC trivia do I not know?

DrJ

I don't own any proper Nick Cave but I blindly bought AB/LoO about 10 days ago because it was a tenner and I'm a sucker for double albums. (The same logic made me buy Wilco's "Being There" when it came out) I've only listen to AB so far and I think it's great: fabulous sound and noise and ...

Will it be the same as the 'exclusive' iTunes tracks that were put up last week? (On iTunes in the US only) Essentially live TDM tracks...

Has anyone got these yet?

DrJ

I don't see why I can't be there, after a hellish Christmas shopping day in central London.

DrJ

Uhh, 7 is doable, unfortunately I'm doing nights all weekend, so I've to be at work at 10, but I hope to stop in & say 'yo'

I'll have a Standard under my arm...

DrJ

You've got to buy it. Irrespective of having the album already.

Amazing album, it's been album of the yeah for me (along with the Lola Money Go Round record)

Dr J: Whoh -where do you work? Anytime i've had to visit our casulty dept its always packed, and we have never ever waited less than 4 hours to be seen!! :shock: I work in... London :D Fear of stalkers, y'see, not gonna be specific! Emergency medicine is my speciality and in the last 2-3 years the ...

My official title is Accident & Emergency Specialist Registrar. It's 4.15am and I'm at work now! But there are no patients waiting to be seen! Whee! NHS computer! My other job is as a frustrated creative type.

Maybe I'm being petty, but thanking "Elton & David" really rankles. I mean, I always thought EC was beyond that kind of luvvie thing. All that's missing is a big tantric hello to Sting.

By definition DVD is a vesatile medium. Look at DVD collections from Bowie (exhaustive), Stone Roses (tv appearances), Suede (In vision commentaries) Weezer (rarities, commentaries, making of each album, alternate takes) and Tenacious D (Loads of stuff) Ideally there should be an EC package of ALL t...

I wonder will Dave recover sufficiently to get the Kinks reconvened?

Bought a ticket today to see Ray in the UCL Bloomsbury, London at the end of september. Which is nice.

That site now says this... More tracks have apparently been added to the Elvis Costello video compilation Ceri mentioned last week. They are from Costello's Warner Brothers period: 13 Steps Lead Down and Sulky Girl (from Brutal Youth), Veronica (from Spike) and So Like Candy (from Mighty Like A Rose...

Leave my Kitten Alone?
or maybe The Very Thought Of You

DrJ

According to iTunes, I have 12 different versions of Watching The Detectives. Jesus, I might need to get out more.

Their manager is Alan McGee, so it doesn't surprise me that Doherty's sad addiction is repeatedly exploited, by the NME in particular. They feign an interest in reporting the reality of his heroin addiction, but fail spectacularly. It's tragic, although, he's not helping himself. As a band, they're ...

Act I have seen opening for Costello: Nick Lowe Ron Sexsmith Difford & Tilbrook Difford on his own All good. DrJ PS Cannot stand Mundy, there was a time around 1996 when he seemed to be supporting at every tiny gig in Dublin, and I just wanted him to stop stop stop. "The moon's a piece of l...

I love the sound of BY, especially on You Tripped... Although EC has denied it, it always felt like a concept record about maturity and responsibility.

DrJ

The Clash?

DrJ

Brutal Youth is his best record. You can keep yer Imperial Model and King of Happy!! etc

JAG in particular is outstanding.

DrJ

Rhino have no mention of them on http://www.rhino.com, which I find amazing...

DrJ

Yeah Otis, it was Flans from They Might Be Giants. A major dude.

DrJ

Yeah, ok, or else I'll post an easy question...

DrJ

I'm so sorry but no.
