Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Mind you it's pretty difficult to find a hat that fits. When you're into hats you know that. This one isn't so bad.

The pic may not be the greatest, but I find it much better than any of those posted on his official site.

:shock: How can you lie and think of England ? That's not what I was taught. When I was a little girl and people from my mother's family wanted me to swallow some bitter medication they told me "fermes les yeux et penses à l'Angleterre" ("Close your eyes and think of England" ). ...

Heart Shaped World - Chris Isaak

Thanks JF. I had noticed the cat. refs but not realised they were so numerous. Now that would form the basis of a good chapter in a bio. The one I prefer is "In a certain way he felt like Jesus". It's not particularly Catholic, but arguably the most Christian of them all. (You may throw al...

I am with you, WWS and Crash. My mother had cancer surgery twice, so I know.

Only The Lonely - Frank Sinatra

Thanks Pole. Billboard quotes a sentence from the forthcoming disk's liner notes ("This record may explain what I've been doing during the last 12 years when I haven't had an electric guitar in my hands" ). But how come Billboard has the notes already, if the disc is going to be released n...

I second that, and I shall add : Need and Misery : STOP IT !!!

You're very good to me Need., thanks.


Special Edition : The Quintessence

It's a selection of old jazz recordings from the "Quintessence" collection.

Needle, I was glad to read those lyrics of Macca. I don't know about this one, but when I like a song I don't mind if it's weak, and if it's good but weaker than others then I couldn't care less. We have an old saying in France, dating back to the times of the knights but that holds true today as pa...

Hell no ! It's enough that 2 people put almost a fate on you with a given name. If you must change yours, let it be your own decision, man.

Well fuckyouverymuch.

You deprived me from "Love On The Beat" (Serge Gainsbourg), that was irresistible.

"Fourty signs of rain" (Kim Stanley Robinson).

Easy read, and the main character is interesting (guy working from home raising a baby).
Not the kind of book I would normally buy, but it was on the shelf closest to the coffee shop entrance and I liked the title.

What did you count ? Your number of crashes ?

Ot. it's all right. And really, it doesn't matter.

Strangely, earlier today I was thinking of that movie and how I should unearth the VHS and see it again, before I finally purchase that DVD player I wanted to do without.

Breakfast in America - Supertramp

Greatest Hits - Rosemary Clooney


Its a brand new compilation of Acrobat Music. The big band is way too loud but in those days they liked it so. One of the songs is a total crack up, the chorus goes "Its like taking Candy from Baby", that is also the title of the song, by the way.

:shock: Ottie you are ill, I bet you have fever from a bad infection and your breath is full of venom. So shut up on Diana please ! :roll: Of course you have every right to thing anything you want and speak up, but sure you wouldn't want to be so vulgar if you were in control of yourself... You know...

Verbal : Friday afternoon = can.

WWS : I shall also be staying in Kensington, with my friends. Close to the Royal Albert Hall, I remember because it's the bus stop (pretty good line actually).

Ot. : thanks (and what about Martha in Paris, did you reconsider ?).

There, I did the exercise. Boy, that was work ! Still can't believe how I could get swallowed into this. :roll: 01. Remove This Doubt 02. Please Stay 03. Pouring Water on a Drowning Man 04. Must You Throw Dirt In My Face 05. Everybody's Crying Mercy 06. The Very Thought of You 07. Hidden Charms 08. ...

Thank you belatedly.

I love this song. True, the melody isn’t quite right, but in all likelihood he was asking for it. Poor little fellow, not his fault...

Shake It Up And Go - B B King


Good that you confess KH, cause even I figured it out in no time, hey ...

Whatever Red, you could write a story with your dream, a fantastic tale in the earlier sense. Something like " Alice in Wonderschool and the Cat of Chester"...

You could have the cat teach things to Alice all through the book or only a chapter.

Verbal if you would explain what a "bump" is it would help.

By the way regarding you not taking another breath : I care...

Yes, number one today !
