Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I like Bone Machine better than Mule Variations -- it's got more spark. I remember being kind of disappointed with MV at first, I'd been eagerly awaiting its release for ages and I just didn't think it was different enough from BM... it felt like it had come out of the same mold, but not as quite as...

1. is Tom Waits, Better Off Without A Wife, from the live album Nighthawks At The Diner.

And, if he moves to Canada, we might see the return of the long hair and beard.

YOU LEFT ME IN THE DARK See how the elements obey? Eyes are blue Skies are grey Nothing I do can make you stay I'm glad it will rain today You left me standing alone Although I thought that we could not be parted But if I'd only known That this would be the last loving remark You left me in the dar...

I've already quoted my very favourite lines from North... let's see you quote yours.

For The Stars should have just been called a "Von Otter" record. He just did the gentlemanly thing, I suppose, and helped her out. Ute Lemper -- for those who haven't heard her album "Punishing Kiss", featuring some EC, Tom Waits, Nick Cave (and others) tunes, she's a far far bet...

It started going downhill in the early nineties, when they started to glorify Kurt and tried to make heroes out of all the grunge wannabes. I used to look forward to reading it every month before that.

It doesn't sound dissimilar. There's a fair bit of vocal drama as in that one, musical build-ups, the sense of melancholy... I think it's very worthwhile, and also don't relate to the harsh criticisms. While it's by no means wild, it's still a very engaging listen. It's very nuanced vocally, which m...

"...Up where the polar bears and moose and geese will play
And some of them address you en français
Give me the ice and snow
Time to go...
North..." ~ North.

It seems he was thinking about Canada. Whether he'd want to live there or not, who knows?

It's the downside of testosterone...

I wouldn't mind it if this thread is deleted then Taz, do as you like.

Sorry about that.

It's the Spooky club. Let's hear it for Spooky *wild cheering and thunderous applause*

Good to see some more folks. Laps, I'm going to have to exercise some self control now before I say or do something embarrassingly unseemly.

Just saw this (a couple of paragraphs after the second picture) in an article at http://www.dannybaker.force9.co.uk/hepwrth.htm " This week he (Danny Baker, radio programmer) plays Elvis Costello's new single but points out that he thinks "it will hit the charts with a loud flubbing sound&...

It would suit the apparent 'Almost Blue' flavour of North. Nice typefaces, too.

It's just too hard.

I'd listen to my brother's heavy metal records when I was about 12 -- Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Judas Priest... it was fascinating stuff at the time. The first one I bought for myself was ZZ Top - Eliminator. Sweet Pear, I think you mean Aerosmith's self-titled debut, which featured Dream On. That...

You look a few years younger...

Happy Birthday

So Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher are only on Impatience, eh? And that's a 'bonus' track... I'm getting impatient -- if it's all finished, they should just put it out. They must really be cranking up the PR... I wonder if he'll go for as much exposure as he did with WIWC, for which he did tons of in...

Cool! Where'd you get the info, SoL?

I'm really enjoying this too. Lapinsjolis, thanks for the decent-sized picture. You're looking very seductive, I rate lips very highly and you have great lips, but that room looks so dark. Is that part of the seduction routine? Sulkygirl, you also look like you could command many a man's attention.....

It was only a dream... get over it.

Aw shucks, you're too kind Miss Buenos Aires. Thank you so much to the lovely Spooky and her husband Joel for all the help getting that up there. Oily, that stuff in the background is from somebody's dirty scanner, and I'd actually just gotten out of the water. I use special waterproof hairgel... La...

The grand hotel room is symbolic of the unrealistic ... you, your girlfriend and her ex? You have supressed the fact that you are intimidated by his presence around your girlfriend (he's obviously got more balls), and you're in denial of your insecurity. Thankfully, the fact that you're having this ...
