Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Every artist in my opinion is allowed 1 hits record and one live record (which I accomodated for in my post), so beyond that, can you tell me bout the wonderful remixes/reissues/live witticisms on Tracks, or Plugged, or Live NY? or 14 (?) Tracks? Come on, Elvis has 20 plus records of released origin...

Make sloth work to your advantage. Beck's Mellow Gold was an homage to Sloth. It also became one of the memorable albums of the 90's. Sloth is yer friend, just don't wallow in it (but then it wouldn't be sloth now, would it). Hell I dunno. But I do know it's time to roll over and pick that zit on my...

If Springsteen has 19 albums I must've slept for a decade.

Even allowing for 1 live and 1 greatest hits, i count about 14.

I agree with Otis. I would say EC and the Imposters playing surpasses the Attractions in their live heydays (of which there were many). They are incredibly tight. I never thought I'd say that. Tight don't make right. My pants are tight, and get tighter every year. But I'll take the Attractions any ...

XRT should finally come out of the closet and admit that they are no longer a radio station, but a discount travel site in disguise.

Bo Deans Air! All Sammy, all the time!

Gotta go with I Wanna Be Loved.

With Bastards of Young a distant second.

And Neil Young's "Im Wonderin" is great also.

"Chumon" is a word that hasn't worked it's way to the midwest yet.

Like most innovations, we will probably have to wait till it comes out as a hand creme.

11. Let Them All Talk 2. Pills And Soap 3. Charm School 5. Everyday I Write The Book 8. Mouth Almighty 7. The World And His Wife 10. The Greatest Thing 4. King Of Thieves 1. Shipbuilding 6. The Invisible Man 9. The Element Within Her 12. Love Went Mad 13. TKO (Boxing Day) Of course I prefer each of ...

Currently reading Dylan's Chronicles also, and like Crash and Stranger, I have to agree that it is wonderful. Dylan has a Faulkner like quality to his writing, cept he's not portraying anyone. He's simply recanting. There is no hidden agenda or proselytizing in this book. It is pure history as he re...

Ya know, I once took a girlfiend to a Depeche Mode show. The singles tour in like 98 or 99 I think. Not that I hated DM at the time, but I gotta tell you, I thouroughly loved the show, to my surprise. There WAS this weird guy dressed in a silver space suit playing keyboards at the back of the stage,...

Those are easily the 2 worst pics of Joe Perry that I have ever seen.

Or were they Jennifer Beals?

Wyoming.

Wait.

Wyoming's not a country, Sal.

POP HEAD...great comments. I totally agree! When I hear the word PUNK I expect it to be true to the style. The Replacements are one of the coolest bands I've heard, but still not what I would call Hard Core Punk. . The Replacements not hard core punk. I disagree. Have you heard their first record, ...

Bombay Sapphire Gin Martini up with Blue Cheese stuffed olives. And like my dad once told me (as confirmed by his years as a salesman in the 60's enduring 3 martini lunches): Always drink gin martinis at lunch. Gin leaves a strong scent on the breath, vodka leaves very little. After a 3 gin martini ...

Is your girlfriend's dad single?

I'm a 41 year old straight single guy, but at this point I can't be choosey, and a mate who knows how to cook sounds rather enticing.

Because he's bad, he's bad, com on it, shambluey.

Those are the words, right?

Please advise.

With Liz T in the drivers seat with one hand on the wheel, and the other buried in a deep bag of Vicadin, looking pleasantly plump as they head towards the showdown at Jack in the Box (pun intended)

I don't want to be dramatic, just trying to prepare us all for the beginning of the media onslaught that will last the next 2 years and make the OJ case look like a jay-walking trial. I predict that by the end of the trial, as Jacko's funds run out, we will be alerted to minute by minute updates of ...

I wonder, do you think Marilyn Monroe ever read Death of a Salesman? I have no point or hidden agenda, I just think it's an interesting question. Of course, it's a play, so chances are she saw it. But reading the play let's the reader internalize it on another level. Do you think she ever actually t...

U2 was an underrated band that has become an overrated candy bar.

But I'd still put my money on EC... Eric Clapton.

Never underestimate EC's tendency to shoot from the hip once and awhile. Mccartney has been making the same music (bad) for more or less 30 years, but I doubt you'd find Elvis dissing him. Not that I think that Morrissey has been an exquisite songwiter for the past 15 years, but there is no denying ...

I agree with Blue and Crash, I thought Paul was absolutely incredible. All of the songs were so well performed, almost to the point where I do question whether the band was actually prerecorded. Still, Drive My Car had a freshness that surpassed even the original. The guitar licks were so accentuate...

Elliott Smith - I Didn't Understand

Lemonheads - Drug Buddy

Sarah McLachlan - Angel

Cher - Half Breed

I think we finally found the Weapons of Mass Destruction...

And they were the writers of this sitcom.

Gulp. Rubber Soul.

I know many people love this record. You Won't See Me ruins this album for me. Too long.

Sgt Pepper is a close second. And I love the Beatles, mind you.
