Re: Neil in Minneapolis
Hi all, I also attended the sold out very full "crowded" house at the Fine Line in Minneapolis. We arrived at 7:45pm and the line outside was wrapped around the block, AND it was at least a 10 below zero windchill brrrrrrrrrrr! We were standing shivering in front of the upscale vegetarian restaurant, Cafe Brenda. I peered in the window and saw that infamous profile and spiky hair! Neil and family and friends were all sitting in there eating dinner. Later, some friends I knew came out of the...

Re: Crowded & Costello
you know this is so strange (another twilight zone moment here) as i've been playing xtc's 'mayor of simpleton' on repeat play in my car this weekend. if anyone wants it sung at a wedding, christening, bar mitzvah, birthday bash, etc. this weekend, then i'm your man. incidentally i notice that the elvis costello messageboard has been closed down because of 'uncontrolled offensive language and name calling'. i'm glad we're all nice here .

Re: Tarot, Palmistry, Astrology etc....
Interesting that we're already having a discourse about this kind of stuff, and at a (Unitarian) church service I attended on Easter, which included a lot about how many traditional Easter things (eggs, bunnies) actually relate to a Pagan spring ritual, they were doing this thing with runes. You were to pick an egg from the basket, dye it after the service and then the rune (which had been drawn in white crayon) would show up, and you'd look it up on a nearby wall chart to see what your...

Re: Rest of The Day Off
I love the ending of the video clip with a loop of Neil and Sharon's silhouette dancing on the twilight beach. Coincidentally I've noticed a b&w anime of this loop is used on just updated nilfun.com today. BTW, am I the only one who widened the eyes to the view of, er, Neil's belly in the clip?

WOW....I'm mostly agreeing with everything here! Here's some more: KEVIN BACON - he reminds me of the ugly doctors in that old Twilight Zone episode "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder".

Evvie, Although I still can't quite make it out, I'm tending to agree with your analysis, as the context seems to make more sense. On the other issue, I'm wondering if it might be "I'll be wishing all day long". Fianlly, I was hoping someone else would take the lead with the background vocals because I was having such a terribly hard time with them. I finally decided I'd at least put something out here to serve as a baseline and get the discussion going. What I came up with doesn't often...

Yes, I'm super pleased with how it turned out...very blown away by it really. He captured our likenesses very well while making us just a little bit "bent" or charicaturish. I'm amazed by all the detail in it -- the frosty, twilight city, etc. Since I chose to not have a straightforward portrait done, I asked Phil if he would just do what he wanted with us, so other than sending him some photos, I gave very little input as to what the composition should be.

Actually i really like it. It's quite striking, & really works with the twilight silhouette background. Although it's pure fantasy of course. Any umpire worth their salt, would have had the light meters out several overs before that photo was taken, & have ended the days play. I think Iva would probably agree as well. & of course Elton is wearing white, so it's not a one day match. If it was, he'd be dressed in blue.

Re: WHOOOOOOOOO Do you believe in GHOOOOOSTS HA HA HA (evil laugh)
Wuntie your story left a lump in my throat. I have dreamt about both my grandparents on my dads side after they died. Grandad, I think, in the dream was just trying to communicate but everytime I dreamt that dream I screamed until I woke up! My nan was different. She was pretty miserable and confused towards the end and in my dream of her she was finally content and smiling. My husbands family lived in a big house near here where a lot of sightings were made of a guy dressed in a tweed suit.

This explains a lot! A couple weeks ago in the morning I was listening to Woodface, then stopped in the local drugstore before I went to work.

Re: Did Neil REALLY compose ALL of the tracks on EIH?
I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in NZ, the CD booklet has recently been amended to include the songwriting credits. All songs are credited to N.Finn/T.Finn except... 'Edible Flowers' N.Finn/T.Finn/E.Rayner/N.Griggs/N.Crombie 'All The Colours' T.Finn 'Gentle Hum' N.Finn So, in a way that would justify playing the 'Twilight Zone' theme music, it looks like de.FIN.e?'s analysis was just about bang on. Interesting to note that the credit for 'Edible Flowers' has been expanded.
