I was wondering if anybody has an EC album that they can play from start to finish without skipping any tracks because it spoils the 'feel' of the record?
For me it's:
TYM, IB & BY
PS: Just like to say Hi and Happy New Year to everyone here.

Re: National Ransom - New Album Due Nov. 2
I love Elvis's voice and can't see that it's much different on this album as from any other - there's some beautifully restrained singing (Bullets, Dr Watson) and the 'overwrought' voice (if that's what it is) is fantastic live.

Re: National Ransom - New Album Due Nov. 2
I think of National Ransom (the song) as a prologue to the album proper, in that context, it works fine for me. This album reminds me a lot of The White Album in it's diversity insofar as while not every song is top notch, it all fits together nicely. Other than that, it's all down to personal prefe...

Not to my knowledge. I really hoped EC would perform Alfie on the PFM tour but alas....

Re: The Gibson Interview: Elvis Costello, Dec. '10
It's obvious that EC has no interest in the mechanics of the music business beyond writing, recording and performing and he gets prissy when he thinks this is under threat.Even though he began his 'career' (for want of a better word) during the DIY explosion in England he had his feet firmly planted...

Thanks John. Despite loving the Paul Simon song AND having the sleeve notes for GCW, this somehow escaped my notice!

Re: Elvis in Chicago (December 20, 2010)
Winter Song has always reminded me of Peace In Our Time. Elvis once said that the chorus of Peace in Our Time was based on another song but I've never discovered which song it was. Does anybody know the song?

Re: Your favorite EC album and why.
Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4 is one of my all time fave songs, and my second favorite EC song . Which begs the question - what's your favourite Elvis song? I could never choose - but am fascinated by the decisions of those who can. What is it, and why?! My all time favorite, for reasons that I...
