Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Verbal and I will be definitely doing Oxford and Birmingham and I can't really see me missing Liverpool and Cardiff -
Flash recorder and DAT at the ready !!

That must be Milo who glowers at the crowd as he places the steaming lemon tea drink in place ! Actually Milo has invariably been generous enough to find me a setlist when I've asked for one !

Seems to me, EC is becoming more and more immersed in Americana but I don't have any problems with that. If you forgive my age here, they initial "surprise" of the first 4 albums will never again be repeated and I'd hate to hear a watered-down version of any of the early stuff whereas both...

. I think they'd take me out and shoot me or something.

If your colleagues had eyesight that made these sort of mistakes, they'd probably miss !!

Neil and Yps - spot on for me too- B&C is my "bastard" album which I play really loudly, when I'm mad .
Brutal Youth probably just makes 3 if only because of Bruce's playing on 13 Steps, Hell and of course Sulky Lad ( I mean Girl !!)

GH - still the most awesome album EC has made by a country mile imho. It inspired me to learn to play the bass and still, 30 years on, it's a pale comparison of Bruce's fluid, groove ( how can a man play with such a sense of pace and rhythm and dance like he's never heard of "best" - see t...

But obviously not Greek defenders - sympathies Colin but not as much as I need when I'll be crying tomorrow at 6 !! I love Elvis' ability to use unexpected words in his lyrics, too many to mention but the couplet from "All The Rage" Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief, you murde...

Anybody that would genuinely appreciate kisses from me , Paul and John needs locking up (except for Verbal, of course !!)

I loved the Ferguson interview - of course United never waste time when they're winning - he obviously wants the "next goal wins it " rule introduced for home sides only that play at Old Trafford !

Having worked Wednesday and Thursday nights, my Christmas was low key (a sleep for 3 hours in the morning and then intermittent dozing for the afternoon, but I did manage to wind everyone up with my present of Christmas from the Heart by Bob - what a classic in every sense of the word :lol: I'll be ...

I reckon I'm a fairly knowledgeable football fan and I didn't know Ryan boy was of mixed race and I doubt SLL would have deliberately been racist about the Welsh wonder (sic) had he known, but for heaven's sake, if he molted every year to get a winter coat. Old Trafford would be knee deep in pubes b...

To be honest, it was hard to tell who was worse, us in the first half or Liverpool in the second. Still it's three points and for once I'll take "winning ugly". As regards SPOTY, Giggs deserves some sort of accolade but I'm not sure that what he's done this year is anywhere near as impress...

I thought Verbal was in line for SP of the year for his great effort of 5 marathons in 6 days Mind you this was back in 1990 before they changed their name to Snickers !!! (play clown music and take a bow quick !!!) :oops: Ah well, not as funny as the Springer Spaniel comment at the Garrick on Satur...

I look forward to your glass remaining on the table.

Thanks Otis, Villhahahahahahahahahaaaa !!!

I'm being cheeky and taking recordings of your original fine gift of Costello covers by their original artists for all the folk in the Garrick and will raise a glass to Villa winning for the first time in 26 years at the Theatre of (Wet) Dreams and the admirable way the U.S battled manfully in the W...

I notice you only post this,BWAP, after deciding not to come to London for the meet-up-and to think I was looking forward to seeing you !!!

Otis, you can't complain about teams scoring in time added on !!! However, I'm delighted that the premiership team nearest to where I live gets to lose to you in the Final !! It also looks great that Angelotti brought on the big guns when it looked like they might lose and it failed. Now could Giggs...

A league cup match where I couldn't decide who I wanted to lose most !!! :lol: However, since you keep the spirit of playing your 2nd string alive despite the opposition, I'm guess I'm more delighted that the other team in North London lost (Hahaha) Dream result tonight would be our second team outs...

Dear Otis, I can forgive almost anything except blind prejudice ( :lol: !!!)but as a lifelong Gooner, I'm also getting sick of us playing matches against better teams (you in last year's Champions League and Chelsea all too often) and appearing like boys against men. The comments on Radio5 about us ...

Sorry about that, BWAP -
was looking forward to seeing you as always

Many happy returns to yet another Libran EC fan !

Thanks Earl, how embarrassing - I thought it was the New York show (so which one am I thinking of - quick search of a large cardboard box - ah yes, that would be "Between Wisdom And Murder" It also means I don't have the boot Legend And History but probably have both shows as audience reco...

can't be arsed to upload it to dime (due to some tracks being officially released on the Costello/Nieve boxed set) but drop me a PM and I'll record my copy for you and snail mail it !

i've got it from the APOLLO! must get around to transferring it today!!!

If I had been given ovaries, they'd be available for you any time !!!
How exciting this is and maybe even a few Sugarcane shows to follow in 2010 in Blighty

Ghost train, I mean GHOST TRAIN ???!!!!
There had just better be a recording of this appearing soon or I'll be over to Oz to re-institutionalise a few convict descendants
