Always hilarious. I love how his shot at Elvis is that he will only get third rate groupies!

Re: Elvis & The Imposters , Thackerville, OK, WinStar World Casino, Nov. 23 2018
Not even close to capacity. This is an awful venue. More like a high school auditorium with folding chairs. And the casino itself is a smokey hell hole. But they do get some good artists to play there. And I believe if they play there they can't play anywhere else within a certain radius for a while...

Re: Favorites of 2013 in CD
Jack - Austin is indeed a fun place to visit. You are right to note it is a bigger city than it's Potrland-like reputation suggests. It is the state capitol and business and politics are as part of the mix as the music, food and 'Keep Austin Weird' atmosphere. As for the rest of the state? Well I kn...

Re: Favorites of 2013 in CD
Jack - Plano is suburban Dallas, so none of the charm or uniqueness of Austin which is about 4 hours south of us. I would recommend a visit to Austin. Always great music playing live. My current favorite Austin export is White Denim. I would recommend their album D. Waterloo records is one of the be...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
I haven’t posted in a while. Wise Up Ghost is a great motivator to move from lurker to contributor again. My Elvis obsession started in 1981 with Trust. And every new album was treated as a major event. At least it was important amongst my circle of friends. Probably peaking in 1986 with the one two...

Re: great bands since 2003
I am usually the last to hear of the best new bands. So probably not any surprises for you here. Arcade Fire for sure. The Go! Team. Thunder, Lightening Strike especially, but their second album continues right where the first left off. Inventive, fun and highly addictive. Rip, Rig And Panic were th...

Re: Elvis when you least expect it
The movie Dan In Real Life with Steve Carell & Juliette Bonoche.
Elvis' Human Hands sung by Sondre Lerche.
The soundtrack is full of Sondre Lerche, accoring to IMDB the director Peter Hedges is a big fan of hers.

Re: The Return of Edwyn Collins
I remember seeing Siouxsie And The Banshees in the mid-80s with Robert Smith of the Cure touring as the Banshees guitarist, but Edwyn Collins with Roddy Frame helping out is a far more exciting pairing! Well worth the trip to London Otis! I remember seeing Edwyn when he was touring for A Girl Like Y...

Bamboo - I am willing to accept there is something wrong with me rather than you - but surely Dr Strangelove is hilarious? A Clockwork Orange does appear dated and rather tame compared to current cinema. I agree with Otis that its 'Banned In Britain' tag gave it more notoriety than it deserved. Miss...

Re: Recently viewed films
Thanks Blue. I want to see Michael Clayton again to really determine how deluded I was or wasn't.
There were many good things about Blood, thank for highlighting a couple! The final 30 minutes were a real let-down.

The story was told in a way that challenged and entertained. I thought the performances were all excellent....
