Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Does anyone know for sure? Any guesses?

And if you had to guess...what would it be?

WIWC2...talks about a tatoo....

I LOVE in Kinder Murder how he sings:

"...dreaming of the pigskin seats and the walnut dash and the KNICKERS and the handbag and one false eye lash..." that low throaty voice...


And Meg...I love ALL of I Want You....what a sexy sound

Are you in heaven?

Soon you will be upgrading to a 60GB. Mine is full...almost all EC!

Hi Meg, Cruel Smile is remarkable!....actually prefer it over When I was Cruel. Softer...richer....more complete. Your right...WIWC 1 feels alot like Soul for Hire. Love that song. I can just see EC singing it...spitting just a little as he enuncuates those many words. Wouldn't it be great to hear S...

Welcome back, Pidge! Great idea! Exerpts from EC's old postings would be great to see....I wasn't around back then! "I went to the Hank Williams museum in Montgomery, Alabama, recently," Costello said. "I was passing through. It's a great little family-run place. There are a lot of ve...

Hi Meg, I was not familiar with the song "Oh Well" ...and wondered why....so I did some research. This comes from a Bright Blue Times review of When I Was Cruel. Link: http://www.astheygo.com/wiwcbbtreview.html Still don't know about the correct lyrics! POSTSCRIPT:  There is some confusion...

Jody?

Is Jody a nick name for Geraldine?

I have not heard Elvis use that name before.

And interesting his take on the evolution of music listening. I agree..but what to do?

I think he looks pretty.

I heard an acoustic version of Veronica a couple years back that was BEAUTIFUL.
Was it on Live by Request? Does anyone remember?

Thanks Doc!

Just a wee lad of 23?

Well, MichaelM ...if you can find those shiny silver boots you could charge admission. Those are awesome! No one thought that was funny? (Boots..ha ha?) Anyway, I was at the San Diego show. I thought the sound was good! And it got better as the night progressed. The base was heavy...but I like that...

Is there anyone else out there that agrees with me that Elvis is much better looking now that he was 25 years ago?

And I don't want to hear anymore about pasty thighs....

Be safe!

Thanks Mr!
You may be right. I'll play it for her.

And I'll let you know....

I like that, King.

Very melodic.

Like that?

Ahh, much too easy.

Thanks for the help King!

Well, AlmostBlue.... I don't want to think about that.

Try as you may, I still think Elvis is as sexy as they come.

Okay so lacklustre...fancy pants.

I meant HOW do I put those faces into my postings?

Very sad...but understandable.

I would insert a sad face, but I don't know how to do that. Help anyone?

Hey Clown,

Thanks for the info. If you need a date, let me know!

Your new friend,
Monkey Girl

How do you know his thighs are pasty white?

Anyway, as I said before...it all works for me.

Thanks Pophead. Very interesting.....could be about EC.

I do think it strange how strong her comments were about him. Definitely something there.

And thanks Blue Chair! Maybe I'll catch up with her after the show and ask her face to face!

Dearest Pidgin,

You poor thing.

Sounds like quite a problem.

Seems to me you should find yourself a friend that can listen along with you...no talking!

Hey, that's me!
Love,
Monkey Girl

Aimee Mann: "I spent a lot of time listening to Elvis Costello. At this point, though, I just need a little more emotional connection than Elvis often delivers. The wordplay is delicious and the love of language is fantastic, but I really need the emotional connection. What's going on with you?...

Thanks for the list, WSSam!

I thought about American Without Tears...but it doesn't have "angel" in the lyrics....I'll play it for her anyway.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
