Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Hearing Less Than Zero on the radio in 1977 when I was 16 , then hearing Red Shoes a few days later. End of story And well Bobster - I dont know if this is what Mis BA actually meant - and I know Ive got a dirty mind and all - but well - the phrase - Cum Poker - does bring some interesting things to...

Inspired by the Elvis Covers thread and being on a bit of a Bruce kick at the moment - I thought - WAIT A SECOND! - This would make a whole album. What would you suggest? Im thinking: Badlands Prove It All Night Hungry Heart Because the Night The Promised Land The Ties That Bind Johnny 99 Backstreet...

P.S

I still think you should do "My Science Fiction Twin" Bobster.

Well my track is all ready to go - just have to convert it to MP3 - is the upload working now? I dont think contributors should worry about the quality of their tracks - no bass etc - its the soul/feel of the song that counts - and if you get some of that on yer track I wouldnt worry too much about ...

Actually he says

"I hear you calling, I am the man"

and its a direct rip off of Joe Jackson.

In the general hub bub none of you rude f**kers said welcome to BlondeTrophyWife - so Welcome to the boards BTW - damn good choice too - my favourite EC song - although I requested Poor Napolean as I still have fond memories of the feedback frenzied version he did in Auckland all those years ago! :l...

P.S Blue - Aint there enough people heading North these days??

Ha! Well its more a "meet friends" sort of tour than a "see places" sort of thang hence the probably oddball itinary (however you spell it). I will send you an email Bobster - havent finalised things yet - may even be an overnight in LA not sure yet. Anyhose - Im not a beer Nazi ...

Well - London-Dublin-LA-Dallas arrive London 15th November Anyone whos around and keen for a beer let me know - and any of our infamous Dublin residents who know how to beg borrow or steal a ticket (or three) for Dylan or Fleetwood Mac at the Point let me know! If the Bobster is about on or around 2...

This post makes no sense whatever really does it?

As I seem to be going through my own personal "Beard Years" I wondered what about you lot? Personally I loved the beard years - Mighty Like a Rose is a masterpiece that doesnt get its dues in my book. Hell, I even love Broken - I really and honestly dont understand why people hate that tra...

Not one goddamn thang!

No, Alanis -

But in good old NZ there is an ad for a bank on TV at the moment that uses The Verves "Bittersweet Symphony" as its background music.

The fact the lyric contains the line "your a slave to money then you die" obviously passed them by.

Are the versions of Elvis did of Richard Thompsons "Withered and Died" and "The End of the Rainbow" on any of the re-issues? They should be - both are fantastic.

Hows things Shabbs? Great to see you around!
Yeah, there are some great pics on that site.

Due to my irrational need to "one up" the Bobster I feel I must reveal that my copy of "the Pink Parker" (on pink vinyl of course) was in fact stolen by a one legged Gypsy Queen on a foggy morning sometime in early 82.

Oh and we cant forget Heat Treatment either - great record.

And dont forget the fab "Stick to Me" - my personal Parker fave - I think it was the one before "Squeezing out Sparks". "Im gonna tear your playhouse down ..........room by room". I think "the Parkerilla" was a double Live/odds and sods/best of - released arou...

I would do the full version. Its a great song to sing - Im sure you'll do a great version LTZ . Good luck - break a leg and have fun doing it!

What is your fave "Rare/Hard to Find/B-Side/Obscure" Elvis track?

Of course I did Mugs. But what do you mean "all over this board"? You make me sound like a bad rash! :) I imagine Bobsters Mother ringing Bobster all time - "YOU NEVER CALL YOUR OWN MOTHER - WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?" "Mom , Im busy right now, Im pitching my latest script, now's...

Im glad hes finally releasing On the Beach on CD - its one of my favourite albums of all time .

American Stars and Bars is also a fantastic album - it has the awesome Will to Love, Like a Hurricane and Bite the Bullet - all Young classics in my book.

No - Dylan CAN do no wrong.

God knows enough people have ripped him off in his time.

Would it be wrong to mention Pump it Up and Subterranean Homesick Blues in the same breath?

Honey Hush is a fantastic song - glad to hear hes playing something from Almost Blue.

marijuana , beer and cigarettes and the stereo blasting - mmmmmmmmmmmm

oh yeah - and CHEESEBURGERS! - mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

If you wake up surrounded by Munchkins you'll know your in trouble CP.



I dont think were in Texas anymore !
