Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I know I haven't posted a pic but it's not for any other reason than the fact that I have very few pics of myself. Not trying to be a stick in the mud....just not too sure that I'm one of the "regulars" that everyone is yet waiting to see. Except for a kind few, just about everything I've ...

In the end, if Elvis is still Elvis, then it doesn't matter a flying fig what any one thinks. One of the reasons I admire the guy. I like just about everything he puts out but I love Elvis for more than just his music. I like what he stands up for. I believe in a lot of the things he believes in. I ...

"Rochelle, Rochelle...a young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk"

Elaine as she shoves you in the chest:

"GET OUT!!!"

"I've got HAND, " states George.


"I'm breaking up with you..."
"But you can't break up with me, I've got hand!"
"And you're gonna need it!"

Kramer exclaims:
"I'm out there, Jerry, and I'm lovin' every minute of it!"
As he tells Elaine and Jerry that he isn't wearing any underwear under his pants.

Spooky I hope I can get that image out of my head!

Yeah Candy, what you said!!

Like that last one, MBA.

After all I went on about the Ramones, I went and forgot Joey Ramones cover of What A Wonderful World.

It don't get much cooler than Joey Ramone doin Louis Armstrong.

Looking at your cover art, Sulky, made me think of the photo thread on this site where people posted pix of themselves. Could that possibly fit in somewhere, maybe along the lines of what you did on the cover w/the EC pix? But on the inside cover (if there'll be one cuz I don't know what your layout...

I'm the last person who should say anything having contributed absolutely nothing to your project. But here's my two cents anyway. Well its a tribute to the man from his fans so I guess you could call it 'We salute you' by Elvis's Army I like that, Gilli! I think that the tribute thing needs to be w...

This thread should be covers you love from songs that you hated. (So says my husband.) That is the appeal of the cover. (He said that too.)ANYWAY...... Satisfaction - Devo My Way - Sid Vicious My Funny Valentine - EC Excellent, Tim(e)! I'll add to that: I just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - EC ...

SoLikeCandy, You have absolutely hit the nail on the head. I was starting to think that I don't belong here at all after having similar thoughts to what you've expressed. No need to flog yourself either. Perhaps the words will sound better when put to music. I know our man is in love. But, when has ...

***sigh***

Sulky, this is getting weird. It sounds like you're married to my husband's identical twin.

Damn it, I feel so crumby now because I feel like I gave this record a bad rap. :x If I may "steal" from a couple of other posts......some of the melodies are fabulous and the arrangements are classy as well. I love, Bacharach and David ("I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"...

By the time I finished reading all your comments about the lyrics, MY heart was racing! After a quick read, these lyrics stood out to me. But there's no question about it, they must be heard w/the music. All the words you say to me Have music in them All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism And a...

I don't know Sulky...sounds pretty fun to me!

P.S. Hope you don't feel too bad tomorrow morning!

That is terribly sad. About 6 weeks ago (actually 3 days before Mother's Day) my nephew died suddenly with out any warning at the very young age of 23. He was an athlete all his life...star quarterback in high school, scholar-athlete and a recent graduate of Yale University where he was a Football A...

My first single was "Smokin' In The Boys Room" - Brownsville Station two others around the same time were "Rock On" by David Essex and "Clap For The Wolfman" by the Guess Who Oh you are taking me back. I had the BIGGEST crush on David Essex! To quote a phrase from my s...

Blue Christmas is my favorite!

He'll tell you up front that "you can like it or not, but the worst that you'll do is be exposed to a different kind of music." I have listened to FTS, and although it doesn't go down as a favorite, he enjoyed what he did and it was a challenge for him. I love EC, so I respect him for tha...

Taz, I'll bet that there are a few records you might want to put ahead of Painted From Memory. Every time I make a statement like that, I feel it's unfair. Somebody always loves what somebody else hates. I've had and have listened to PFM for quite a while but it's not a record that I've come back to...

Thanks Bamboo, that's exactly what I meant.
And yeah, it's a kick ass record!

Here's to you, Sulky...Cheers!

When I was a little kid (6,7,8...) I had a 45 record player and a giant collection of my mom's 45's from the late 40's and 50's. I played all those records and knew them all by heart. She had quite a few Elvis Presley singles. I don't know if I can give a top five but I think I'd have to say my fav ...
