maybe they are moving it again.

What's the "lone star incident"? http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Mojo,_July_2003 During that album we became matey again. It rattled along for a couple of years, then went weird again. The defining moment was a gig in Spain in 1996. He was doing "I Can't Stand Up For Fal...

What's the "lone star incident"? Anybody who knows.

i haven't the slightest ethical problem in downloading anything.

Absolutely.

Elvis - we know you or your people look at this site so please take heed of your fellow Scouser.

you know it?

blob, italian tv program that mixes a stream of consciousness of tv fragments justapoxed in a political and sarcastic way (from a leftist point of view), all dedicated to margaret tonight: i've caught a glimpse of elvis c. singing "tramp the dirt down" live, just the "and when they'll...

from the guardian article: "It is narrated by Costello, McCartney's friend, who has been a vegetarian since the early 1980s."

is is true?

i have still to understand what this song is about.

Was there anything you really wanted to ask Bill Clinton when he was a guest on Spectacle, but couldn't, because, well, he's Bill Clinton? Lars LJ, via email No. It wasn't a political interview, he'd agreed to talk about music, but the interview was shot while he was working on Hillary's campaign t...

anyway, everyone can clearly see that we're both invisible.

in the meanwhile i added three songs... and there's another one you've already heard. actually, i think that the beginning of the album is the best part. "sorry". I quite liked all of those you've picked so far. And agree with you about the first part of the album being the best. On first...

1. stations of the cross
2. national ransom
3. jimmy standing in the rain
4. the spell that you cast
5. a voice in the dark

first impression: better than secret sugarcane, reverse river and momofuku - which all i didn't like. this one is listenable. the vocal delivery, as already observed by others, is more moderate and controlled, there is no obsessive, petulant overemoting - which is good and helps the record. lots of ...

"this is spam!".

not very tough, i just tried to choose the ones that seem to be the most celebrated or the ones you find on the greatest hits, and such.

be it a case or a biased selection, my favourite ballads are probably among the nine chosen...

by the way, i don't know "having it all".

which one?

or if it's not in the list, what else?

you have three choices.

i had to select carefully, only 10 options can be entered - i would have mentioned at least also i want to vanish and still.

Hey, IM, your song of the century remark stumped me. I took a look and on some list compiled in 2001, Imagine came in at number 30 in the "song of the century" category. Neat list. It came in ahead of rudolph the red nosed reindeer.Here's the list. It's quite long. I'm only including the ...

let's give a break to the "song of the century"...

hey, but nobody has posted disliked lines!

don't tell me you adore everything he writes.

dunno if it's self-directed too, but it's a good one anyway:

we're all hypocrites. buying elvis's cd's while some people are starving somewhere.

and i think that imagine is a silly song, overall.

in fact, it's so silly that i prefer silly love songs.

Christopher Sjoholm wrote:"Wasn't it a millionaire who said imagine no possessions?" pure hypocrisy!!!

lennon's, you mean.

it's one of my fav lines.

as in the subject.

impressive setlist, indeed.

i still can't find a satisfying use for it.
