Elvis Costello Fan Forum

..................not sure about David Gray tho....

Don't feel sick......Hour of the Bewilderbeast is a great record.

Out - The Clash - London Calling In - Dexys - Liars A to E Pulp - Monday Morning Dusty Springfield -- I Don't Want to Hear About It Joni Mitchell - Amelia Dexys - Liars A to E Lloyd Cole - My Other Life Norah Jones - The Wurlitzer Prize The Modern Lovers - Girl Friend Smoky Robinson - The Love I Saw...

They were the greatest band ever. Everyone loves their music (well, most people)......but what was their greatest?

You can pick it up from Audiostreets for £7.99. The site is especially good if you live in the UK.

Shane Richie is an avid Man Utd fan ???

That says it all

yeah...Vertigo was great, but I couldn't leave out the others. It was between Vertigo and Rope and I really love Rope.

Have I missed something ?? :? :? :? :? :? :? He's probably cancelled Bournemouth on the 7/11 because he's playing BIRMINGHAM that night...............even Elvis can't be in two places at once! I think it would be great to have an board members weekend in Bournemouth in April. Count me in. We could c...

In 1979 on the last day of term, our class (Coolmine Community School) were told we could bring in 2 records (45s) each to play on the decrepit school record player.

I brought in 'CTBK' and 'Back of My Hand' by The Jags

All the Abba and Disco fans sat slack jawed throughout!

El Vez - I'd put 'Look Back in Anger' in for Burton.


James Stewart

Rear Window
It's a Wonderful Life
Rope
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
Philadelphia Story

Can I help scoop out your pumpkins?

Sorry....that was very CopFanish (no offence CopFan)

Cool...always wanted to be Thurber!

I really enjoyed reading through that. Nice to see that EC gets so much respect frommthe Jazzheads. PFM is popular with some of them isn't it?

Also very gratifying to see DrJ flying the flag for the board!

Partridge Family
Monkees
NKOTB

I thought you were kidding John!

Two going on at the moment...

Comfort of Strangers - Ian MacEwan
The Little Friend - Donna Tartt

I read a great book called 'After You'd Gone' by Maggie O'Farrell over the hols.

Really recommend it...even if it is a chick book.

Rio on Mastermind ?? That would be great!!!

Specialist subject: memory games

The Beat are on now - 'Too Nice to Talk to' I remember thinking this about Marie Cooney - the leggy blonde 15 yo on my street. Her Dad hated me............mind you, I was thirty years old. :lol: ... ...only kidding!! oooooooohh.......hang on.........it's their version of 'Can't Get Used to Losing Yo...

I may be going nuts. I actually find it hard to understand the way discipline was dealt out today. Arsenal's players do a scary dance around Ruud van Divealot and they get several bans and a huge fine. The Turkish FA let their fans run wild - they get sent to bed early and the chocolate bar taken ou...

'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy' was a great song. My fave Queen song.

The Byrds for me.

Just pipping:

New York Dolls
Ramones
REM
Go-Gos

Just noticed the great 'Exciting Game' thread.

PoP was demanding a new EC quiz in September. I missed that somehow...

Anyway....don't know if i can find anything else to challenge you elvisheads...but I'll try..

PoP.....i can't believe I've been missing this game...what have i been doing.....?? :? :? Please Stay was only the second Elvis track to make me cry (the first was the aforementioned Jack of All Parades). His voice breaks and crackles all the way through. A singing coach would scream. I love the son...

...just came on BBC radio 2.

What a great tune. Suddenly I'm a 13 year old squeezing zits again...

Apparently The (English) Beat are on at 11.45...cool

Board 'old timers' may have noticed that I love Hoover Factory. It's simplicity is its beauty and never has Elvis sounded so relaxed and chilled. The sentiment of the song beguiles me also. The idea that despite its beauty, it really means nothing in the great scheme of things...like himself. I've d...
