Subject:Video/audio collection for sale
Posted by:pacejunkie.
Time:2:17 pm.
I have a large collection of VHS (NTSC) videotapes that I've accumulated over the years containing rare Elvis Costello material -- Full concerts, interviews, film and TV appearances from all over the world from 1977 to around 1998.  I've been selling the collection off and wondered if anyone here would be interested in buying them.  If you have the capability (which I don't), you could even transfer this material from VHS to DVD and have it forever.  Quality varies depending on the tape but all are at least fair and playable.  I also have a large audio collection on cassette tapes of concerts and special presentations and would be willing to sell those as well.

They are $10 per videotape and $5 per audio, plus shipping.  If you would care to see the list (it is too big to post here) please e-mail me at pacejunkie@gmail.com and request it.  Thanks.

Subject:art piece for sale
Posted by:two13sixty1.
Time:10:15 pm.


Click here for the ebay link


This is an Original painting done on a skateboard deck. It is a record player and has a real Elvis Costello record and real knobs. This is a really awesome piece done by a NY artist known under the name BombArt1978. The front of the board says "You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Love is here for a visit..." The wood it is mounted on is about 3"x9". The back is signed and has the lyrics to the song Watching The Detectives. This would look great on any persons wall!

click this banner for his myspace..he has more skateboards up and all other sorts of beautiful art work!

Subject:Elvis blogs!
Posted by:pacejunkie.
Time:7:27 am.
Elvis wrote a new blog entry on his official site that covers Spectacle, his travels and the new release Momofuko.  He's always fun to read, I missed his musings, his snappy verbiage and massive vocabulary so if you're like me, go forth and read.

Subject:Damn.
Posted by:pinkfeathers.
Time:5:10 pm.
Damn. Yes, damn. I really don't know what else to say about it. Did you guys know about this?:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110190991813&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D110190991813%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1

I mean really. That's an amazing-looking guitar. Imagine getting one signed by the man himself!

Furthermore, I'd really like to learn the song "My Mood Swings" (featured on the "Big Lebowski" soundtrack). I'm not adept enough at guitar to figure it out on my own, and I can't seem to find the tab anywhere--can anybody help me out?

Subject:beautiful chimes
Posted by:harutake.
Time:11:22 pm.
Mood: frustrated.
I hate begging like this, but there's something healthy about admitting your own shortcomings, right? I'm totally in love with EC's version of "Beautiful", and I've been trying to play along on my guitar, but I suck at figuring out songs by ear. Once I learn a riff, I can remember it and play it fairly well, but getting there is a problem. Through Google I found a few pages with guitar chords for Christina Aguilera's version, and tried to figure something out based on those, both open and with the capo in several places, but to no avail. So, here comes the begging part: has anyone here figured out how to play (on guitar) the little ditty being played on chimes right before the singing starts? If so, couldy ou please share? If not, is there anyone here that's good at figuring out these things, and feels like giving it a shot? TIA.

I'm somewhat certain that there was a post a while back where someone was looking for the Elvis Costello cover of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" that was featured in House.

It'll be featured on the first House soundtrack, being released on 18 September 2007. I think the track listing looks pretty great myself:

House M.D. - Original Television Soundtrack Track Listing [*North American release only / **Previously unreleased
1. Massive Attack - Teardrop *
2. Gomez - See The World
3. Jon Clearly & The Absolute Monster Gentleman - Got To Be More Careful
4. Ben Harper - Waiting On An Angel
5. Michael Penn - Walter Reed
6. Elvis Costello - Beautiful **
7. Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright
8. Sarah McLachlan - Dear God
9. Josh Rouse - God, Please Let Me Go Back
10. Lucinda Williams Are You Alright?
11. Josh Ritter - Good Man
12. Band From TV - You Can't Always Get What You Want **
