Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Can't believe they left me out of that triumverate - but I'll be there !

Count me in - hoping for a neighbour who doesn't sing "Roses" out of tune for a change at the Phil !!

Tracks this time were:
I Stand Accused
Little Sister
(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding
Watching The Detectives
You Belong To Me
Pump It Up

As you all know, PLU was exclusively broadcast by the BBC and not by the KBFH show.

I think he will just arrange the event around the match. I know you say VG he gets into the directors box but he only goes the odd game when he is in the country. Personally now i have a code for Disney + i might see how the kardashians are getting on for once in my life. After tonights capitulatio...

Absolutely! Aren’t we fortunate not to have someone releasing material that we might buy out of loyalty and then feel heartbroken to think they had sunk to such a low level. Not thinking of anyone in case you think I’ve someone in mind but there have been so many tailings off . Didn’t Elvis once say...

Lovely Jardine, May all your days be filled with music you love abs cherish no matter how far up the scale. Thanks for your wise words especially personally on a torrid work day ! Glad bless you !

Took a while, but... https://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2022/04/elvis-costello-36-boy-named-if.html Nice review. By this...' The Boy Named If is basically the rock album Elvis Costello didn’t make for the better part of fifteen years' I assume we're taking Momofuku to be his last 'rock album'. Th...

We have people that travel a long long distance but those more local stay until around 8pm.

Soemtimes as far afield as Deal,and Southend on Sea !!
Whatever happened to those Scandinavians anyway?

It seems like the reviewer can’t bear to think Elvis might just have written a classic tune -as if l

I hope you’re happy now

It was a bit tricky to get a good ticket. The ticket office wrote the following in a mail: Prior to the official ticket sales date we had a presale for the guests who receive our newsletter. Tickets for shows like this are often sold pretty fast, so combined with the presale that would explain why ...

The rebroadcast is on this channel: https://www.npostart.nl/live/npo-2-extra
Problably only viewable for those who live in The Netherlands.
The schedule isn’t available yet.

Thanks very much ! Porbably won't be able to make it to Utrecht to watch it !

How long is the TV broadcast, Sweetest ?
This is a term of endearment by the way !!

I love that this says 32nd or so studio album. No doubt there is a list somewhere to show the names of all of his albums. The 32nd album is repeated a lot. The Discography on the EC Wiki lists 35 "Major Albums" but that list includes Piano Jazz , Il Sogno , and the live album " The R...

The "yeah, yeah, yeah," and "dance a little jig" . . . embarrassingly BAD moments in the canon of anything Elvis has ever done. Mistook me for a friend is painful for me to listen to. The album has bright spots, but I would put it equal with Clockface and Don't Look Now. Deliver...

Ok, so after a brief break from the record of a week to ten days, and a full month now after release, I returned to listen with a set of fresh ears. The verdict? A great record, and an absolute keeper. Could have been the follow up to Trust in sound and feel if Imperial Bedroom didn’t exist with at...

Haha! Explains my confusion - it’s the Yanks fault for not understanding proper English ! Glad you’re sorted thanks again for the explanation!

I was there, courtesy of the great Mr. Boddy !! (Boro fan extraordinaire)
Joanthan Ross said "Awright!" to me - what an event !!

Strange meal choice, puppies and pears !!
I guess there are certain shoe-ins which will be top 5 or thereabouts but the choices. Near the bottom end are a bit bizarre more like kittens and kiwi !

Bollocks !

I don’t see The Sweetest Punch listed on the wiki - are you sure they played this ??
I’ve got one recording of this but I dint know which show my recording is from, Incidentally
I’ll have to dig it out !

Two weeks in and now totally convinced that this is a GREAT record, as in Top 5 Elvis album ever. Get Happy!! and This Years Model have long been my 1 & 2, with Blood and Chocolate, King of America and The Juliet Letters trading places as 3-4-5… but this is so ridiculously good that may all cha...

The YouTube song is probably blocked for rights reasons. But you can hear the song at approx 37 mins in on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0013d7c/the-graham-norton-show-series-29-episode-14 As has been pointed out before, Elvis hasn't got as much control over his low notes these da...

He looks like he should be singing “If I Were A Rich Man” from Fiddler On The Roof in this photo !
