Thanks for clearing that up

It sounds so much like a saxophone though! Oh well I changed it

I'm also pretty obsessed with the song Beyond Belief. I heard it before, but once I listened to it with no distractions, its AMAZING. Oh my god. Also, for the record, I was jsut on pandora, and I found an amazing version of Chelsea, incase anyone's interested. Its called (I Don't Want To Go To) Chel...

Haha I guess you'll have to keep on coming till it falls on it

Wow, 12 years old and you remember what you were listening to in the 1st / 2nd grade. You're parents must be pretty cool. At 12, I was more into comedy - SCTV, Saturday Night Live, Johnny Carson. I did like the Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers, Beatles - standard mainstream stuff. Check out The Go-Betwe...

I could never wrap my brain around The Smiths, either. Maybe I just missed my window. Jason Mraz is insufferable. Ugh maybe I will later, but the Smiths are just so... weird. When I first heard them I bursted out laughing. And Jason Mraz, his songs are so long, and his does that thing wear for like...

Let's see... When I was like in kindergarten I liked country a lot. Ew. Well then in 1st grade, I became obsessed with Jimmy Buffet and Simon and Garfunkel. in 2nd grade, Elvis Costello and David Bowie. 3rd grade, Tori Amos. 4th grade Elvis Costello again. 5th grade Queen, Cyndi Lauper, etc. 6th gra...

OK, so out of all the new songs I listened to, the best 3 are:
Ghost Train
So Like Candy
Possession

That'd be awesome.
He seems pretty cool. And he's an awesome lipsinger.

Oh that's ghost train?! I've heard that song before!!! I didnt realize it.
Haha thats one odd little boy. O_O

I tried looking up Ghost Train, and I cant seem to find it.

@lacklustre
I love Possession. I just heard it a few seconds ago. I think it convinced me to also get the Get Happy! album.

:roll: :mrgreen: I cant believe I actually chuckled at that. A 12 year old female - I guess I've found my audience :lol: So who else's music do you like? Beware, getting into Elvis will make you seek out other artists which is a good thing. Some are not for me but he's made me aware of artists I wo...

12 is a great age for obsession, as commented above. For me Elvis was 14/15, first saw him at 15. At 12 it was Bowie. 1976. I'd got into Hunky Dory in 1973 aged 9, but it was in secondary schools from 11 onwards that I was obsessed. This music has lasted me all my life. Enjoy the journey. David Bow...

I already listened to like half of these songs, so I'll listen to the last few tomorrow.
Oh, and my mom said she was going to buy the My Aim Is True album. Just saying

OK!!! I so will.
I'm pretty sure my mom wont mind spending some money on an Elvis Costello CD anyways

Thanks for the CD moods.
I gotta say even if I dont have a lot of CDs, I have listened to a lot of the songs on Blood and Chocolate...
That album is awesome.

I also like Spike a lot too.

I'll check them out.

I cant believe I actually chuckled at that.
