Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think Elvis owes us a drink about now.

Sorry, probably not going to be able to make this now, will have to spend most of the day cooking...

It's invisible in the dark.

Going to a gig in the evening but I can do afternoon/early evening.

Well, if you have a few spare hours to work out the code on this:

Being completely colour blind I'm not even going to attempt it.

3pm so I'm told.

I'm going to see Sean Lock at Leicester Square Theatre that evening so I should be able to drop in at some point, will probably be later on though.

I have heard rumours that a certain VG also has tickets for the Lock show.

These are all things I bring along to every gig I go to as standard anyway. Basic essentials, surely.

I really don't understand the point of the "fan club" pre-sale. It seems anyone could get them, with no need for registration. I looked for Brighton tickets in the pre-sale and could only find rows N or V in the stalls. This morning on open sale I managed two tickets in Row B without a pr...

RAH #1 & Brighton booked. Leaving it at that. For now.

Isn't the phrase "nuked the fridge" now?

My bank manager's just topped himself.

I wish I could change my username to glib replies now.

There are other kinds of Tuesday in Salford? Good cotton weaving weather.

Ooof. Once heard, cannot be unheard.

Change it to

*any track on goodbye cruel world*
*insert unwelcome saxophone here*

I thought it was sung from the point of view of the girl, to the soldier. In fact I always thought the first two verses were EC singing as the girl as well, though I never knew what to make of "holy coat" (thought it was along the lines of Sunday best/church clothes). Your post has shed a ...

Sorry, I meant the photo posted by krm on the previous page.

I'm currently obsessed with 'Sleep Of The Just'. Extraordinary song.

Surprisingly sans hat in those promo posters.
