Elvis Costello - Everything About Spike Part 2 of 6

[beddy2112]

Elvis Costello. Purely and simply a musical genius. How rare it is to have a musician with the overall intelligence this man posseses.

My generation's Dylan, hands down. Bold insight, I know....

Sincere thanks for posting this. (pity it's not all, but I'm not complaining, it's far better than nowt).

I videod this when it came out, and can trace my entire musical taste to it. Because of it, I bought the NME to read an interview he'd done. There were all these bands I'd never heard of. Never looked back.

This program saved me from a lifetime of Dire Straits. Elvis, I owe you.

And Spike is still a great album. Deep Dark Truthful Mirror / Any King's Shilling..so many of 'em...

[dlp2006]

his best album i think

[Exeunt26]

An album full of memorable lyrics and tunes, but some really horrible gimmicky arrangements. The acoustic versions on this show are so much better.

[VincentTruman]

Oh this is brilliant!

[drumhead100]

what happened to parts 1 and 4 ?

someone please post

[champipple]

youtube took them down - someone complained that i broke copyright. whatever, i'll repost again when i can.

[HORACECOPE2]

this is the real Elvis, he still writes brilliant songs, whereas the other Elvis..well, didn't.

All respect to Elvis, but the 'Having It All' by 8th Wonder used in the film was a darker, more cutthroat song, and more appropriate for the scene. Elvis's is lovely and sweet, and not right for the character. Nice to finally hear it, though! :)

that song "having it all" is superb. Why they didnt want it in "absolute beginners" is beyond me. shite movie anyway. thanks for posting this havent seen this is 20 years
