NINE albums?
If we count Look Now, Spanish Model and Clockface, that still leaves six. I presume one of them is Face in the Crowd. The rest... are anyone's guess!

Re: We're All Cowards Now
I have to confess I'm not a massive fan of the recent very very gloomy songs on Hey Clockface. This one, the spoken word ones, Newspaper Pane etc. are so, so bleak. Elvis has always had a sour worldview, quite understandably, but often in the past he has couched them in very peppy pop. But these one...

You can hear George Purvis talking about his passion for Elvis in the Dangerous Amusements podcast. Definitely not a dilettante!

Re: London meet up - Saturday 7th August - A cause for optimism
Hi all,
I'm going to get there for 1.30pm, as I have to leave by about 4pm. So if anyone can make it that early, cool.
If not, I'll just read a book!

Re: New album with the Imposters in 2021?
Totally agree with the above.
Especially in this time of pisstaking streaming services where artists get peanuts, Elvis can do whatever he wants to try to exploit his talent. No-one is forcing anyone to buy any of it!

Re: New album with the Imposters in 2021?
You're right, this is looking encouraging! I heard 'Farewell OK' - it was a fun rocker in the style of 'Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo' (and, as has been noted, a very big tip of the hat to 'Hippy Hippy Shake'), so although it felt a bit of a throwaway in that regard, the actual sound of it was terri...

Sounds like Elvis isn't the only elder statesman doing 'talking' songs these days.

So has anyone heard 'Maud Gone Wrong'?
Is it any good? Is it the love child of 'Stella Hurt' and 'Isabelle in Tears'?

Re: early bugs!
I don't think it's to do with copyright law necessarily. I think it's accepted that a song is written by a writer, then given to a band to play. There'd be no song without the writer - so consequently there'd be on no bassline, drum part, keyboard solo... However, some bands have made a deal whereby...
