Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Broken is not a very Elvis-like song but I still like it. (there's always one isn't there). I'd like to hear someone like Sinead O'Connor do that song, I think it'd be great. songs I could live without......... 1. 20% Amnesia 2. Georgie & her Rival 3. The Delivery Man 4. Walking on Thin Ice. 5. ...

I've just been re-watching some of the extra bits on the "Right Spectacle" DVD. I've got a few questions regarding the performances of This Year's Girl & Radio Radio on the tv show Revolver. 1. any idea why the Attractions are playing in front of a big photo of Peter Cook, was he invov...

oh yeah, I forgot about Kojak Variety. I often skip Strange as it's my least favourite track on there apart from Days (brilliant song, but don't like EC's version)

although Get Happy is one of my very favourite EC albums, I think Love for Tender is one of the weakest tracks.

thanks for that info John. Can't see myself in the picture. I do remember the window being broken but it wasn't anywhere near as dramatic as that report makes it sound. It was just 1 panel on a door that broke and I don't think it was smashed, I think it just broke because a lot of people were leani...

Hello there. The first time I saw Elvis live was the night that Spike was released. Tower Records in London opened at midnight to sell the record and Elvis was there signing copies. I still have my signed tape (I was yet to invest in one of them new-fangled CD players) Before the store opened there ...
