Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think the song "Blue Chair" is perfect as it is. It might be my favorite EC song of all. It's certainly my favorite to play with Oliver's Army.

Now the person Blue Chair, on the other hand, could use a little work. And the high-pitched singing might really improve him.

I think Kanye is better as a producer. His work on Common's album Be this year was fantastic. My favorite hip-hop album of the year was The Mouse and the Mask by Danger Doom. It's MF Doom and Dangermouse (the guy responsible for the beats on Gorillaz Demon Days ). It's a record loosely based on char...

Noise, I just read your post as I finished mine, and I think we are for once saying just about the same thing (the last paragraph I mean). That's so funny. I was reading your first, longer post thinking the same thing. Then I read this post. I laughed out loud. Actually I pretty much agree with you...

I was just listening to this today. Perfect for rainy weather. This is going to sound like a cop out, but I rank all of these songs equally. I think of this album as a whole, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to rank them. So it's an 11-way tie for me. That may not help your ranking, but...

Please enlighten us: How the hell is the Toussaint song a rip off of "Like a Rolling Stone?"

Saying A Love Supreme isn't a masterpiece is just a statement made from pure unadulterated ignorange. You don't have to like it; you can even hate listening to it. But whether or not you enjoy it has nothing to do with its being a masterpiece. It'sa masterpiece because Jazz changed forever after its...

Sounds like an uninformed opinion if you ask me.

Those deaths were because of drugs, not weight. Though I suppose the weight didn't help.

That's the most fascinating part to me as well. And I think it's the part that finally makes sense to me. It's not just that partisans willfully (or even subconsciously) shut down their ability to reason in political debate, it's that they are addicted to doing so. They do it compulsively, and break...

What bothered me about the article, after reading it, not before reading it, Noise, is their conclusion that the test shows "lack of reason in political decisionmaking". That is not what it shows: it shows lack of reason in "partisan" political decisionmaking. Altogether differe...

See? Now you even made mom mad. Nice going!

Actually, it demonstrates that people who are strictly partisan fail to use that part of their brain which reasons whenever their positions are challenged by data which contradicts the position. It's not that they discount it because they have reasoned the data is wrong. It's that their brain shuts ...

I KNEW it!

Yeah don't cry bout it. You're not allowed to post in this thread, newb. But I love the fact that the worst thing you can think to say about me is that I find MLK's speech moving. That's quite a zinger you've got there. If you ever want to attack pophead2k, you could always use the fact that he wor...

X/O is pretty amazing. I concur with that as a starting place. From there, it's pretty much all good.

That's tragic. I loved Chris Penn. Think I'll go watch Reservoir Dogs.

Just because you call me a f*cking moron and yadda-yadda-yadda dosn't mean you're right. I didn't call you a f*cking moron and yadda-yadda-yadda. I called you a fucking moron and a dickhead. (I just hate being misquoted.) And it's not because I called you one that I'm right. It's because it's true ...

It was much worse than an artistic awards show. It was on a benefit show to raise money for victims of Katrina.

Wait...why? What happens if I make four more posts?





(I was dreaming when I wrote this. Forgive me if it goes astray).

Oh, I get it. I should make four more posts. Gotcha.

Oh, I see...four more posts. Who's making four posts?

Four more what?

That's just like a southern American. Full of pride over NOTHING. YOU ALL SUCK IN AMERICA, AND THE WHOLE WORLD HATES YOUR 1000 POSTS.
