well, strictly speaking the Box Set is actually five CDs making one live album. What is a definition of an 'album' ?

Anyway...my game.........my rules :P :P

The DVD is a bit od a disappointment to me. The miming to Still is accentuated by the fact that he sings the other tracks live (and a bit flat IMHO).

Otis - I need to have a split personality....and so do i.

I'm thinking of putting in 2 applications for the spurs job.

Ps. Are you pleased with your Goatee ? Would you recommend one ?

Any shaving tips ?

What we are finding here is that some EC fans prefer the rougher edged Elvis to the more polished Elvis. I always suspectd that this would happen. This game is pointless and childish but that was always the point. Cruel Smile could be drawn against ImpBed in the next round. It's a 'no brainer' but I...

Hey Otis....no fixing here. I sat in the corner of my office tearing up little pieces of paper and drawing them out whilst looking at the ceiling.

If you check the draw from yesterday, you'll see that there are one or two closer run things. Armed forces v TYM for example :D

1. The Hollies were great. Bus Stop a fantastic song.
2. Stephen Stills was/is a 'Steel nose'
3. 'America' is a great tune - one that makes me yearn to visit the place.
4. Art Garfunkel looks like the Devil
5. Everything Spooks said I agree with

Elvis Cup Rd 1: Blood and Chocolate V Brutal Youth

This is an awesome tie!!!!

Could go to the wire. Many of the younger EC fans came in on Brutal Youth and it's a fairly nostalgic record. However, there are those (not me) who regard B&C as his best ever record.
