In case nobody saw it...

I think it's Wednesday night (Thursday about 1:25 am) EC is on Conan's show, and then Thursday night (Friday about 1:25 am) he's supposed to be on the insufferable Craig Kilborn's show.

For those who may not have seen it/taped it (assuming you don't want to acquire the superlative DVD) check your local listings for the Roy Orbison "A Black and White Night" special. My PBS affiliate is showing it the day before Thanksgiving.

Now THAT was a good interview! I like when they actually devote time to interviewing the musical guests. It's interesting that Elvis was the first guest, and he'll be back later to perform.

And he's performing... playing the piano himself.. "I'm In The Mood Again"

Does anyone know if this show is to be broadcast on any UK channel?

Also, for those in the states with Comedy Central, they run the previous night's Conan every afternoon at 6:00 Eastern, 5:00 Central.

Goody for me, 'cause I missed it last night.

Conan commented to Elvis that North is quite a departure from WIWC. Elvis replied saying "and the next album is going to be a rocker again, and the album after that is going to be even mellower" or something along those lines. I wonder if that was just an off-the-cuff sort of remark, or if we can truly expect another rock album next?

I missed it too, thought it was on Thursday night. Guess Ill be taping Comedy Central tonight . . .

Is he still going to be on that other show Friday . . . which one was it?

HungupStrungup · Post by **HungupStrungup** » Thu Nov 20, 2003 4:32 pm

It's tonight actually, although it is technically Friday. It's Craig Kilborn's show, the post-Letterman program on CBS.

Kilborn has nothing of Conan's charm though, and if there's an interview, I wouldn't be surprised if there are barbed responses.

Blue: I don't know if the quote you mentioned from that interview was an actual listing of the kinds of albums he has planned for the future. He did say right after that, "I just don't like staying in one place too long." I've heard him say that before. I wonder if he just meant that the next few albums will have varying genre?

At least I caught this on Conan earlier and even taped it so DrS can see it later. One of my boy even watched it with me and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not inconceivable that a 12 year-old boy finds Conan hilarious.

Or that he found the female guest attractive.

That "female guest" is none other than aka Eliza Dushku, aka Faith, the Vampire Slayer, said Bobster in his "Comic Book Store Guy" mode. (Let me now convene my minions in Elvis Costello-meets-Buffy fandom.)

No! I missed that one too. I had it all written down and everything . . .

Misha · Post by **Misha** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 1:31 am

Blue,

Yep, I heard the same thing, and I think it sounded semi-sincere. I think after the classical thing that's in the can we can hope for something rockin!!! I think he does it to keep reviewers on their toes.

I say we hold him to it!

Bobster....*****just shaking my head*****

The fact that there's more than one cross Elvis-Buffy fan on this board alone is a wonderous and beautiful thing.

Oh, no....Pip!!!

This is not a good sign.....

Did anyone else think the interview on Conan was sub par?

Post by **BlueChair** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 7:37 pm

I thought it was excellent in that it didn't ask many of the predictable quesitons. For example, I had never heard the story about when Elvis showed up for a Bob Dylan concert pretending to be Dylan's guitarist.

Good point Blue. Damn, you're a good moderator.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 9:05 pm

I played it last night for DrS when he got home from work and we both thought it was a great interview for Elvis. He was witty, polite, and talked quite a bit. Conan, as always, was hilarious.

I don't know if I've ever really mentioned this here but, in a weird way, it was Elvis who got me into Buffy.

When he played here with Steve on the "Lonely World" tour, he made a crack about TV censorship and singled out the episodes of "Buffy" that were delayed because of Colombine. (There were actually two, I think.) I kind of got the impression he liked the show. Anyway, it sort of whipped up my civil libertarian instincts and I decided I wanted to see the "banned" episodes just to see whether the shows were really all that violent or something. Tuned in one night and watched -- turned out not to be that episode. Tuned in another night. Damn -- the description sounded right, but this one wasn't it eihter. Tuned in a third night....still wrong, but I was hooked.

The last season of Buffy was disappointing and annoying. Nearly knocked me out of the fandom, it did.
