'Lost Highway will release Momofuku from Elvis Costello'

[Otis Westinghouse]

It's needle time!

[Mikeh]

There is a very strong rumour that T Bone is also producing a covers album with The Who!

It's needle time!

EXCELLENT retort!!!!! it's ALWAYS needle time here, so no worries for me.

[StrictTime]

Well, needless to say, I'm excited....but I'll be waiting for the CD. Blasphemy? Perhaps. But my wallet will thank me. However, I would have bought the vinyl had the CD come out several months or so after the initial release. Goes to show, Elvis.... But yeah, excited.

I am neither needle-less nor noodle-less, good ma'ams and/or sirs! Simply pragmatic, I'm afraid.

According to HVM webpage here in Japan, Momofuku is "sourced from USA" and: Availability: Out Soon - current release date is 06 May 2008.

I had hoped for some kind of Japanese release with extra everything.

...time will tell if we get treated by such an issue....

littletriggers is so stoked about the new album he flew to New York to eat at MOMOFUKU to get in to the right frame of mind.
Here are two of his flickr photos

[Otis Westinghouse]

Given that his flickr reveals him to be a complete and utter Costellonut and his interests are listed here as vinyl, that figures! Good photos. Like the dish, looks good.

Did he enjoy the food? It's a hot restaurant at the moment. It's (sort of) a shame we're taking the kids down with us this weekend - I'd like to check it out.

Thanks for posting pix Martin, I couldn't figure it out thought the Img button would do it , anyway NY was great as ever and Momofuku a treat, don't even try and get a seat at Ko his latest noodle bar only seats 12 and it's fingers on buttons to book by 10 am for that day .
Bring on the vinyl !

In preparation for playing this I just got a new needle for my record player - 25 euro - yikes!

The child with the sticky up hair at the counter in Peats here in Dublin clearly thought I was in the wrong store and was asking for some kind of , ahem, marital aid, or something. However he asked one of his more elderly colleagues and, eventually, the item, a Kelvern Stylus DSC 749 , was found. They tell me they have five more such items left.

Actually Elvis foretold this in 1983 in Pills and Soap. Elvis had to truncate the lyric to make it fit

"Give me the needle How much? You must be joking. Seriously?
Give me the rope"

The italics denote the original lyrics.

The cover appeared on Amazon.com :

Sorry if it was obvious for everyone else, but I've only now found out these are peaches in a bowl.
( my discovery was helped by the word "peaches" under the drawing )

If you enlarge the picture on Amazon.com you can also see some other letters (numbers ?) but I cannot decipher them.

[migdd]

Like I said a week ago in an earlier post . . . it's a lucky peach! Well, okay, so it's a BASKET of lucky peaches!!

[verbal gymnastics]

What's so funny about peach, love and understanding?

What I cannot understand is the relationship between peaches in a bowl and noodles

That's for Elvis to know and for us to . . .

. . . well, er, that's for Elvis to know.

Here's to hoping that the music on the new album has absolutely NOTHING to do with peaches, noodles or luck!

Has anybody actually heard any of this record yet? It comes out on vinyl next week... I'm surprised they've been able to keep it under wraps this close to the release date.
