Elvis Costello Fan Forum

They played "The Man Who" on NPR not too long ago (where Rouse duets with his girlfriend) and it sounded amazing. Gotta pick that one up at some point myself.

I didn't make a racial slur but I will say that I think you're off your meds if you interpreted anything I wrote as being a racial slur.

Holy Shit! Happy Birthday gal!

Dude, you totally need to learn how to play Snaps! I mean, I am a very, very easy target and not that I'm saying go for the jugular like I am with the example that I'm about to lay out but you could have followed up with something like "Yeah, that's nice El Vez. Did everyone hear know that Mr. ...

Oh, a pm exchange with Noiseradio reminded me that they missed a pretty obvious pick with Noah Baumbach's wonderful Kicking & Screaming which ranks as one of the funniest, smartest and most perceptive films about the emotional fallout of graduating college and figuring out what the hell is next ...

Hey, in Waylon's autobiography he talked about how children *love* Roger Miller's music. My first memories of him were as the minstrel troubadour in the animated Robin Hood (the one where Robin Hood & Maid Marian were foxes.....and more convincing as a couple than Costner and Mary Elizabeth Mast...

I think that citing Metal Machine Music as one of the worst records ever made is playing right into Lou Reed's elaborate joke in much the same way that audiences would get legimitately pissed at Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton to the point that he had to wear riot gear on stage. The whole album is a glo...

It's always a good board day when Roger Miller gets some props.

Happy birthday to one cool dude who happens to be a dead ringer for Randy Newman!

I'm not so swarthy. I seen you, you look like a gorilla. But your extra-ironic-to-protect-against-possible-unfunniness, soooo knowing, parged-up punchlines, are seriously soporific. That was very poetic, though. Soporific is a very interesting word. Its origins lie with the Greeks (but then what do...

Absolutely.

And you are a swarthy and prickly drywaller whose clawhammer banjo technique is lacking in texture.

Or only embarrassing North American celebrities might "matter" enough in the world. This wouldn't be half as funny if it happened to any British or Australian celebrity: http://www.tampabays10.com/assetpool/images/0561921287_cruise-water.jpg What can I say, we're a jingoistic bunch a bast...

Isn't it obvious.....only North America can produce embarrassing celebrities. Well, Bryan Brown excepted.

Nah, it's just that nobody gives a rat's ass about Manu Chao.

Hey Vez. Put Charlie back in there! :x :wink: Sorry, we posted at the same time! As far as Eugene Levy goes, it is entirely mean spirited of me to put him in the tower, especially since Steve Martin is a much bigger star who actually has the luxury of being a good deal more selective about his proj...

Neko Case is the shit, isn't she? I'm really diggin' on Fox Confessor as well and I am amazed at how much she continues to grow and develop from record to record. Furnace Room Lullaby is still my fave because it was my first but this is a phenomenal record. WSS - I highly recommend you check out Car...

If he answers with "You've got to make do with what you got." then I'm coming up there to Toronto and smacking somebody upside the head.

And thus the answer to what YOU were doing last saturday 'round eleven o'clock!

The Tricky remix of "Distorted Angel" still stands as my fave EC song. WIWC2 is another one that I think is absolutely brilliant. Let's see...."The Bridge I Burned" was called Elvis' "least essential song" by The Onion's A.V. Club (who, other than that, are responsible ...

I'm pretty truant on this but I wanted to ask you what you thought of Couples In Trouble. Definitely in my Top 10 albums of the decade so far....
