Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Saw Ryan Adams Saturday night at the North Charleston Performing Arts Centers. Great show. Ryan was in great voice, the band was stellar, and the harmonizing to die for. Lots of stuff from Cold Roses, a few early chestnuts, and a few from the new album. No acoustic or mellow stuff, everything was f...

Good score Strict Time - the earlier the Bruce the better really, to a point, and if youve got Tea for the Tillerman, Catch Bull at Four or Mona Bona Jakon then youve scored some classic Cat Stevens too.

The thing is ... things have changed ... for musicians these days its a completely different world. People steal your music, or your forced to give it away, nobody buys it anymore. Radio is scattered all over the internet and up in space and there are no longer a core of fans huddled up to the radio...

I would like to know why these people are still being put on TV. America seems to have a fascination with putting these people on TV shows then when they say something bigoted (as they always do so that they will gain attention and will be invited back to other TV shows) the media jump up and down, ...

guidedbyvoices - no I dont have "Coast to Coast Carpet of Love" yet, nor its fellow "Standard Gargoyle Decisions" .... but I will be picking them both up at the earliest oppurtunity, hopefully in the next couple of days, cant wait to hear them.

Mrs Monkster --- Honey , Im home! Jackson ---- Did you get my Springsteen CD? Mrs Monkster --- Of course honey bunch!! - oh ....and they were having a Sale so I just got these really nice shoes, a real bargain at only $350 and a handbag to go with them of course, and they had these lovely ear rings ...

Going to see Ryan Adams and the Cardinals next Friday night at the Mcfarlin hall at SMU - excited and looking foward to hearing some songs that have fast become all time favourites.

...Oh Debora, you look like a zebra
Your sunken face is like a galleon
Clawed with mysteries of the Spanish Main, oh Debora...

No grown woman wants to be called Debbie

Debbie Reynolds?
Debbie Harry ?

And I'm starting to feel like the Random Thoughts crazy person who posts and posts and posts.....

You mean Otis?

I really like "Radio Nowhere", seems a real return to the "Darkness on the Edge of Town" sound, and the few songs he played on the Today show the other morning were sounding good too. I'll be grabbbing it tomorrow too, could be a real winner.

Isnt it against the law to wear cheques and pinstripes together?

Wow, the Raspberriers are touring?
One of my alltime favourite pop groups too.

Yeah what's Andy Partridge ever done? This guy sounds like a bit of an egomaniac. Agreed that hes not being very nice to Young Mr Partridge - but when youve produced the stuff that Boyd has you can probably afford to be a little snarky, as much as I love XTC, as a producer Boyd is indeed a legend. ...

Some fave guitary bits - some solos, some riffs. Berton Averre–“My Sharona" solo - the Knack Steve Howe - The intro riff to "Siberian Khatru" - Yes Mick Ronson - "Moonage Daydream" - the David Live version Martin Barre - "My God" solo - Jethro Tull Mick Taylor ...

A man playing A-Ha's "Take On Me" with his hands.

[quote] “Elvis was one of those artists, when he sang a song, he just seemed to live every word of it. There’s other people that have a voice that’s maybe as great or greater than Presley’s, but he had that certain something that everybody searches for all during their lifetime.â€

http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51emSAI5gHL._SS500_.jpg Love this band. Have been following them since downloading their early EPs, which are all brilliant, especially "Raised by Wolves". This is their debut, and is suitably fantastic. "Cheer me up , cheer me up, Im a miserab...

Shake Me, Wake Me (When Its Over) ..... was just listening to this last night, fantastic slice of motown magic. Right up there with Smokey and the Miracles in my book.

The Small Faces

Anthony Wilson, the music mogul behind some of Manchester's most successful bands, has died of cancer. Oh no! I really admired this guy, who not only had a great love of music but actually got out and did something with it, bringing a legion of fantastic groups to our ears. :cry: http://news.bbc.co....

The glorious and bizarre story of the Chestnut Mare....."and we'll be friends for life , she'll be just like a wife".....err righto Rog.

The New York Dolls

Echos Myron - one of about 25 million pop delights from the gifted head of Mr Pollard - who true to form, is releasing two new records in the next few weeks I believe.


Edison Lighthouse

does Cliff count as music of today

Cliffs music, is music of EVERYDAY!.....or perhaps music of last Thursday afternoon.

I'm inclined to agree with EC. I'm sure there are many bands out there that are directly influenced by Elvis P but they're not necessarily going to be bands that trouble the charts. They are probably in niche markets rather than mainstream. So define - "direct line" and as said above defi...
