Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Seeing as She's Pulling Out the Pin doesn't seem to have made it to The Delivery Man, and so I'm not expecting to hear it any time soon - does anyone happen to have the lyrics to this gem? (Yeah, I was there to hear it on night 3 at Avery Fisher, but memory's shady, ya know...)

Tart - certainly the highlight of WIWC; and catchy, too - that's never hurt in the singles game...
(Though the actual album version is probably not my favourite)

From http://www.bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=1752 THE DR. DEMENTO SHOW Featuring: Special Guest Opener @ 7:30PM ELVIS PRESTELLO & THE DISTRACTIONS You've undoubtedly seen an Elvis Presley impersonator. You may have seen a band perform an Elvis Costello song or two in your day. You ma...

like a service station blues compilation

Ha! It does have that Chevy look to it now, doesn't it....

Though hey, it could have been worse (Il Sogno?!)

As far as I'm concerned, nothing can beat the WIWC bees, baby!

Oooo...goody! Merci beaucoup for posting these (and having had the good sense to save them back in the day) Was highly amused by the bit on US security, having had a similarly unnerving expereince recently. These certainly wet one's appetite for those EC books coming out - when is it - around fall 2...

Does anybody know if EC's old journal entries from the official site are still archived somewhere on the WWW?

EC was in his crooner mode - sans guitar to my great disappointment - came out to join Diana for Almost Blue, and sang Ray Charles' Drown In My Own Tears as one of the encores. Ron Sexmith also joined Diana for a duet of his Secret Heart. Was absoultely rockin' show, with plenty of high-energy, intr...

You can also listen to a live radio stream on CBC Radio Two starting at 8pm ET.

Ron's opening Diana's show in Montreal tomorrow.
EC will be there to do some tunes as well. You can listen to a live stream at 8pm ET on CBC Radio Two

Montreal Jazz Fest 25th Anniversary Gala - Di with EC and other guests, plus Ron Sexsmith as opening act. June 29th, 9:30 - 11:30 pm on SRC (the French CBC).
Not quite like being there, but hey...

You can get several versions of 45 as well as Still off of the official website.

Here's an e-Talk video on how EC got to meet Scarlett Johansson at the Oscars, among other things... Second clip in the Watch Video section.

If there's anyone out there in the 'pop' world who definitely should be writing musicals, EC iz da man, baby! (Sorry Paul, Elton...) Come to think of it, if one really tried, one could probably cut and paste a musical with the wealth of EC material that's already out there. Yeah, so there'd be plot ...

Here's an EC quote from the De-Lovely site : "In doing my part, I think it's the first time I've ever worn a white jacket in my life, and I couldn't see a damn thing because I wore glasses that had period lenses in them. But it was like a dream to me up there. It was a joy to do one of Porter's...

Check out this CTV News clip of a *bespectacled* Diana playing at Toronto's Union Station today.
Sandie Rinaldo
Wonder where she got that from...

Just got a rockin' CD in the mail. Bonnie Brett - The Elvis Costello Songbook If you like your Elvis served up in the jazz quartet format (Diana notwithstanding), this is worth the coin. Some nice covers here, though I'm not too sure re. the bossa-nova-ish I Want You. Anyhoo, you can get it at the J...

Hm, tres curious
I believe she was asked to do this last year but had declined as the show was scheduled on her wedding day....

...Is there a place somwhere in the big 'n' scary WWW universe where one can read a transcript of EC hosting Letterman? Mind you, a clip would be preferable, but I'll take what I can get.
(Am TV-less and so tend to miss out on these things.)

EC wrote Punishing Kiss?! *Fumbling through Ute Lemper liner notes* My, my, I had no idea. Forgive my ignorance. Have gone through a period of obsessively listening to that CD and it never clicked that EC is behind the title song, and Passionate Fight... and Couldn't You Keep That to Yourself... And...

'tis OK. I didn't know a thing about EC till he married DK, now I'm hooked :wink: Here are some tracks I'd recommend (album titles in brackets) Peel Me a Grape (Love Scenes) You're Looking at Me (All For You / Nat King Cole Tribute Album ) Popsicle Toes (When I Look in Your Eyes) My Love Is (Love Sc...
