Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Nice one, but home come you got the vinyl ahead of release date? Bet it sounds great in that format. Sweetest Punch: please note that you only posted half the Guardian review. Nice to see Alexis Petridis giving it 4 stars. I love his humour and find myself invariably agreeing with his judgements on ...

I enjoyed that, but I wanted to know where they were from as I watched and then life was too short to watch it all again with the YouTube link telling us where they came from. I remembered A Serious Man, so my recentish memory isn't entirely gone.

Aw, lovely (even if he's omitted a question mark!).

Well put, from the voice of bitter experience.

Care to share some of what he said with us?

Yeah, heard this was coming. Interesting that James Murphy produced. Well-suited to the dancier feel of this. Looking forward to hearing it all and seeing if it's a worthy successor to the magnificent The Suburbs.

Yeah, but what does Kakutani know?

Not too surprising to find that interview and song on that site really! The disgust just oozes out in the interview and the song. Great stuff!

Far from the first corporate gig he's done in recent years. There's a certain amount of hypocrisy in it, maybe, but hey, great exposure! I love Elvis's non-hug of the Appleman at the end! BBC news covered the release of the new cheaper iPhone for China but the bastards never mentioned Elvis's appear...

Drum Magazine video: How To Play Like Questlove On “Come The Meantimes” Fun - I'lll look forward to having a goo at that with the headphones on in the near future. Yes, not hearing it is very much by choice. I'm Old Skool. CD at the shop on Monday. haven't even been back to the YouTube clip of Walk...

It's the subliminal influence of the Walk Us Uptown video!

I've been missing the fun here... For me the trio of WIWC, North and TDM represent a very strong phase in Costello's later career, and happily coincided with getting back into him in a big way inspired particularly by finding a community of people who loved him in the earliest incarnation of this 'p...

Fellaini was pretty consistent last season. We could have done with him against Liverpool, made have salvaged us the point. We lacked the danger going forward that Rooney was giving us against Chelsea. I love seeing Giggsy hitting 40 and on the field, but not starting games when Kagawa and others ar...

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do ...

... the two YouTube screen links I posted above are the Dusty and Shakin Pyramids versions.

Is there an actual song called this, or is it just the name of the suite which includes Speak Darkly My Angel? Costello's notes imply the latter: “Speak Darkly, My Angel”: One of a set of songs entitled Three Distracted Women, this number was first written for a concert tour by Anne Sofie von Otter ...

Absolutely. So no live recording, demo or anything exists of that one? Take It With Me is absurd! Can I just add a request: your excellent daily posts are a great archive of comments on and links to Elvis's body of work. I've got day-one saved as a favourite and I can click through the days, or scro...

Perfect - little did he know...

I only paid $4 to see Amadou and Mariam there in June! Loved the venue, and the right on catering and beer were wonderful. Can't wait to see the clips for this one.

http://www.triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/a-z/paddychambers.shtml I'm sure this got posted before, its one and only (known) live performance, 29 years on: tbnxjjSwqTU Indeed it did get posted before, and a great immediate reaction: He played Night Time! Holy s**t! http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB3/...

Good question, but one the internet isn't keen to help answer! I've never checked out the other two: d-uXxd0rTHA nH3aL1ldxlk You wouldn't want to hear either more than once, would you? But one thing that caught my eye was the presence of one Davey Faragher on the White Heat Dusty album - so was he, ...

I'm gradually putting my 'stuff' out there -See MrCjp52 on youtube Cheers--The dentist beckons Hope it wasn't too painful. Welcome on Board and many thanks for the channel. Several gems there I saw at the time. Many were consigned to good ol' tape and archived, and a few I missed. Elvis on the Kuma...

WIWC a horror? Insane! TJL over WIWC? Bonkeroonie! Bring on the comments, and I'll look forward to defending some of Costello's finest 21st century moments...

I watched the South Bank Show docu about the making of FTS, and have it on a VHS somewhere. Can't find it on YouTube (I thought everything was on YouTube?), and remarkably Connor doesn't link to it, but it was enough to make me feel I didn't need to be completist. This was before the internet made m...

Wow, she's superb! Incredibly painterly - love her statement re Jan Steen.

Are you and your 8 other siblings equally talented?!?

The 'Commercial work' page made me laugh - I was looking for Elton and co.

Elvis has to commission her.
