Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I wouldn't dream of suggesting that your age has anything to do with it. I think you will be exactly the same when you are 57

I'm not a He!!!

The point is not that the songs (like Lovable for example) are not good. The point is that an album can have too many songs (or songs badly placed) and is weakened as a consequence. I wouldn't say don't release the songs, but I would say give them the right forum. BC made a fair point earlier about ...

This issue has come up a lot recently. Looking back, there have been times (IMHO) when he could have done with cutting a few songs out of his albums in order to make them classic. So which albums do I think were too long ? How about: When I was Cruel: With some really great moments, Elvis could have...

...Swine is pretty shit though...and he could have cut out Why?

...now there's an interesting point...hmmmm....time for me to post a new thread...


PS. I was just thinking....'Where's good ole TS/SM when I need some back up??

I think that Jackson Doofster (God he's cool), SMM and Spooky are definitely right!!! Here are some great facts: 1. Next Time Round is damn fantastic.... 2. Most of B&C is fantastic 3. Almost of all KoA is fantastic (could live without Eisenhower..) 4. Blue Chair is Fantastic (person and song) 5...

Excuse my language.....but....


I FUCKING HATE ARSENAL!!!!

I love 'This Town' ....its one of my fave openers. I used to love Spike and MLAR but they have slipped down the list over the years in favour of his really great work (inc BY, WIWC and North by the way).

8 excellent reasons to buy The Juliet Letters: Taking My Life in your Hands :( The Birds will Still be Singing :cry: This Sad Burlesque :( Who do You Think You Are? I Almost Had a Weakness :lol: The Letter Home Jackson Monk & Rowe :D Jacqueline Thomas :wink: Everyone has a right to their own tas...

The best discovery I ever made was running. I carried on eating what i wanted (although i generally eat quite healthily, I LOVE curry and Chinese food). Although I put on some weight this year after a football injury, I find that 3-4 20 minute runs per week keeps the pounds down - feels great too wh...

As Noise is a big Abba fan, I thought this appropriate. IstandAccused, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet IstandAccused, tell me ...

No, I totally agree with you Taz. He either thinks its incredibly smart and ironic (which it isn't) or he's very naive!

Forgot to add my new signature...

So that's it then? EC likes Abba so they must be cool. No, not really my point Mr Goon, although I appreciate that it may have appeared to be. The point was that they have been appreciated by many others who have not suffered head injuries!! :lol: Personally, I think that the songs would have benef...

For the record (!), Abba Gold is one of Elvis's essential 500 albums

Can I just make it clear that I have two names purely for practicality purposes - I use two computers (one at home, one at the office) and can never remember the passwords!! Hence I am set to auto log on with each machine and cannot be bothered to change it!

I crashed my car into a telegraph pole the other day. As a consequence, I had to take the family away for the planned weekend in a very small courtesy car. No CD player - just cassettes. I haven't bought, or recorded on tape for some time, so I rummaged (great word that) through an old tape box and ...

Its hardly rock'n'roll, but I love.................

Abba
Billy Fury
Dean Martin
Prefab Sprout
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
Madness
Anne Sophie Von Otter

Noisey dude....I rarely disagree with you but...having observed and enjoyed this little thread tête-à-tête between you three.........I have to say............meaning no offence or anything....... I think its bollocks to rate Buck over McGuinn. ....................................IMHO............

BC
