macca Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Superb reading Bob. Incidentally, she describes her UK fan base as 'ratty'. Now 'ratty' in British English can mean 'in a bad mood' or 'annoyed'. Is she suggesting we're rodent like? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) apologies if this has been posted already, i searched and couldn't find it https://www.metrotimes.com/music/story.asp?id=14232 From the article - " From Head to Toe " which actually gave Elvis Costello a minor UK hit in 1982 . I missed that one ..... thankfully . Malc Burton Edited January 18, 2010 by Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
macca Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I thought his version of 'I stand accused' was pretty good, but then we are cousins. Getting mighty crowded was from that session too. Old Dec's a Soul boy at heart. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Old Dec's a Soul boy at heart. you're cousins with elvis costello? you should listen to my teacher's edition interview where they talk about him covering their song, they thought it was very funny that someone called them "terminally obscure" in some liner notes.
