Elvis Costello Fan Forum

i like doing this because my top 10 tends to range from the obvious to the ridiculous: 1. blood and chocolate-ec and the attractions 2. revolver-the beatles 3. blood on the tracks-bob dylan 4. new skin for the old ceremony-leonard cohen 5. doolittle-the pixies 6. hips and makers-kristin hersh 7. dea...

is the glass half empty or half full? all i know is i don't want to drink what's in it.

bambooneedle- oh yeah i'm down with barfly. his book hollywood was about making that movie.

i never liked sweet pear. maybe i'm missing something but it just seems to me he wasn't even trying. like he was writing on autopilot. something about the song just always seemed beneath ec to me. it's one of the two songs i skip every time on mlar. the other being broken.

soent too much money at the used cd store: kristen hersh-sky motel (lost my original) joe jackson band-volume 4 shellac-1000 hurts the replacements-don't tell a soul ( i finally have it on cd!) dance hall crashers-the live album (witless banter and 25 mildly antagonistic songs of love) now that's an...

spooky, i would never scoff at the breakfast club. molly ringwald was my first love. ah, second grade. i miss it so.

homer wins. woo hoo!!

costellopunk starts wondering how many people he knows who would be willing to pay noise to play a show in corpus....

here we go: 1. clerks (stop laughing miss b.a.) 2. repo man 3. raising arizona 4. brazil 5. true romance 6. rocky horror 7. akira 8. rushmore 9. secretary (okay so it's a very new movie but i want it to become a cult classic) 10. lost highway (it's not that i like it more than blue velvet i just wat...

my handwritten letters are a lot like all my other writing: disconnected, no paragraphs, and for the most part illegible. i'm a big fan of e-mail.

hey istandaccused, i read that about two years ago. i still re-read it on occasion. hilarious, dirty, adn sometimes a little life affirminmg. thus is bukowski. i've become a bigger and bigger fan of buk over the past year. i even got a tatoo on my arm of a broken glass heart dripping water on fire t...

trust really is the underated over lookeked gem of ec's work. for those who get it (on any level) it's a fav. elvis started tinkering with experimentation a little more in this album (right before he went all out in ib). like all of his albums i take this one as a whole instead of a collection of so...

the things i like about ec's voice are things most people complain about. i love it when the man is grasping at a note he can't reach. i love both his desperate and his sneering whines. i'll take his voice in any register he chooses. nine times out of ten he finds the correct voice to hit the words ...

i've been waiting for 28 days later to hit theaters here for a while. danny boyle directing a zombie movie. how can that go wrong? if anyone's interested danny boyle is working on the sequel to trainspotting based on the the book sequel: porno. renton gives up smack and starts smoking crack. hardcore.

i'm reading irvine welsh's maribou stork nightmares and bukowski's (i'm always reading bukowski) bwtting on the muse:poems and stories. i'm reading the second volume of hunter s. thompsons letters in between books.

remember remember being immortal? remember me asking you to be my shrink? remember red lights? remember dark beaches and baseball fields? remember being two big kids playing in the park? remember how you used to love my hands on you? remember an entire class anticipating the latest developments? rem...

i don't really have to think about it that hard. my top ten really stays the same:

1. almost blue
2. i want you
3. human hands
4. 13 steps lead down
5. i want to vanish
6. lipstick vouge
7. motel matches
8. dust 2...
9. my dark life
10. next time 'round

dust 2... is the best song on the album for me but out of these choices my order is: 1. episode of blonde- i love when elvis gets lyrical diarhea. this non stop tirade gets me all worked up. "a tiny man imploring to the cieling fan/that stolen feeling". an image that sticks with me. i also...

hate to go along with everyone else but human hands is definitely my favorite of the three. there's just something about the way it's so simple. the idea behind the song. "all i ever want is just to fall into your human hands.". all the clever word play and imagry in the song summed up wit...

And C Punk, is your new avatar from GROSSE POINTE BLANK? Ya Cusack freak, ya nope. it's a picture i took of me. the only good one i can find. i will admit to being a cusack freak though. the first step is admitting you have a problem. oh yeah i just returned from austin again (i have resolved to mo...

you should start at the begining with frank black. if you don't have any pixies albums go pick up doolittle and surfer rosa. if you do than jump directly to frank black's self titled album and teenager of the year. these are just great albums. unfortunantly they're really not representative of what ...

just got back from seeing alkaline trio in austin and can't stop listening to their new album good mourning. also listening to: birthday party-prayers on fire throwing muses-s/t (still listening to it. go buy it right now!!) fugazi-the argument tom waits-bone machine soul coughing-ruby vroom pixies-...
