E-minor7 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Bridges is a big man all the way - Costello is quite another type. They seem to have picked the right guitars. Hey, , , let's see the rest of their collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I dare say if we all had the money these guys do we would all own these kinds of guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I miss the angry young Elvis and the days when he and Parker were spitting out their frustration with every word they sang. Just not as crazy about the newer, content, hang around with Emmy Lou Harris version (nor the sit around the house in upstate NY writing science fiction Graham Parker). They toughened up the 1970s and I want them back - we need them right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.. most reviews tend to hold this as a return to form for Mr Costello.... I like it anyway. Just got Blood and Chocolate so looking forward to getting into that.. cheers BBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well since this thread began, this song has been going round in my head the whole time, so it was time to exorcise it by recording it. More Jeff Bridges than Elvis Costello, I fear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAjkYZOvb1A&feature=plcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfbird Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The record collector in me has been awakened... Costello's catalog has been reissued several times over. I would look for the RHINO reissues (as opposed to the Rykodisc, which are fine, but lack the extensive bonus tracks, or the Universal or god forbid CBS versions, where either sound and/or lack of bonus cuts make them less desirable). That said: My Aim Is True (1977) This Year's Model (1978) Armed Forces (1979) Get Happy!!! (1980) are the near perfect releases with the Live at The El Mocambo a great live document. After that, mileage will vary based on what you like, but I'd recommend... Trust (1981) Imperial Bedroom (1982) King Of America (1986) Blood and Chocolate (1986) and part of Spike (1989) After that. they blur together and a few great stray tracks aside, nothing holds together in quite the same way.
