Elvis Costello Fan Forum

If I had the misfortune to be in Keane I'd have turned to drink and drugs by now as well.

This series was also reviewed by Graeme Thompson in WORD magazine a couple of issues ago. http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk (extract) .....After the shock of the new, the parade of familiar friends buffed up in preparation for another spin on the carousel threatens anti-climax. So what better cure than ...

I agree about Couldn't Call It Unexpected. Definite reference to a real tragedy and the ghost of a child. Cait's pregnancy is mentioned in the book Complicated Shadows..... seems Bebe Buell lost some of EC's potential progeny too.

Real bad luck.

No, it was definitely 1958.

In the liner notes for the This Years Model reissue, EC confirms this, saying Steve was a 19-year-old when he joined the band. The Hall of Fame website has made a mistake.

God's Away On Business - Tom Waits

Sadly, they disappeared about the same time as the 40-minute album....

Mary of the Fourth Form - Boomtown Rats

The Blue Nile - they've only made 4 albums: three of them are perfect, and one (Peace At Last) is an 8/10.

If Six Was Nine - Hendrix

Take your pick of Richard Thompson's......

"Bird On A Wire" - Laughing Len

Actually, speaking of prison, there's that great line in "Country Darkness" The prison she lives in - the one with the open door. Actually, I think that line is a bit of a cliche; the 'bird in the gilded cage' thing is well-worn. New Lace Sleeves is much better: 'Oh I know they've got the...

Why Can't I Be You? - The Cure

Dirt In The Ground - Tom Waits

It's 'Yeah Yeah' by Georgie Fame

pointless poll Not at all. The point is "what do you like better, Elvis without the Attractions, or the Attractions without Elvis?" And Mighty Like A Rose was picked because it sounds like an album the Attractions could have done. The comparison is meaningless, like comparing fish with fu...

Any Where Is Better Than Here - The Replacements

Something so Strong - Crowded House

Can't non-Jews get pissed off about anti-semetic remarks too? Of course they can, don't be silly. My point is, while acknowledging that there might be people who are prepared to argue that Gibson should be given the benefit of the doubt from an objective standpoint, I wouldn't presume to suggest to...

If he has a history of this nature - and I have heard a few people say this but haven't examined the evidence - then, of course, it would be hard not to come to the conclusion that he is an Anti-Semite. He's hardly a cultural colosuss, either way I would take issue with the first post which regards ...

It is a good point. Although there appears to a little more cumulative evidence against Gibson - however, that may simply be down to artistic interpretation of his Passion of the Christ, which - however flawed the film; I haven't seen it - is always a dubious way to look for 'evidence (a bit like th...
