ed opened for neil finn in san diego on july 2, 2002. i got a really nice neil poster that has ed listed underneath. he put on a great, moody, intense show. not a long enough set to sway new listeners, but still blew us away!

He was great when I saw him open for R.E.M. -- loved Beneath the Heart of Darkness especially. I really need to get one of his albums.

Do you have a scanner? If so, scan the card!
I'll take a picture of mine with my digital camera when I'm back in London.

I think you'd like him, BC. He reminds me of Ryan Adams sometimes, personality-wise.
And he has the best hair in music.

I want to see Ed again. Really bad. 
Why can't he come back to America and play somewhere near me?
(can you tell I got one of his albums since the post I made above, in 2003?

MORE ED!
And BC, I totally agree with Megan's comment about him being like Ryan Adams, personality-wise. He is the British equivalent in many ways, it seems!
"On August 8th, Ed Harcourt is releasing a compilation album titled 'Elephant's Graveyard'.
The album will only be available as a digital download and is a collection of now deleted b-sides, a couple of magazine covermount tracks, the odd international album bonus track and - exclusively - four previously unreleased songs. Coming soon to edharcourt.com will be audio clips from a few of them, plus the cover artwork (painted by Ed himself) and, in Ed's own words, the thinking behind the album and his personal recollections on each song.
Full tracklisting (and source) is:
1. The Unlucky One (previously unreleased)
2. T Bone Tombstone (from Something In My Eye)
3. Here Be Monsters (from Something In My Eye)
4. I've Become Misguided (from She Fell Into My Arms)
5. When Americans Come To London (from She Fell Into My Arms)
6. Alligator Boy (from Apple Of My Eye)
7. Weary And Bleary Eyed (from Apple Of My Eye)
8. Last Of The Troubadors (from Apple Of My Eye)

12. Blackwoods Back Home (from All Of Your Days Will Be Blessed)
13. Still I Dream Of It (from Still I Dream Of It limited edition single)

19. Asleep At The Helm (previously unreleased)

Don't fret if you already have all / most / many of them, as each song is available individually but if you feel like splashing out, you should be able to get the whole thing for about a tenner."

I have that kind of a list, too
. So many artists to get into, so little time/money. Anywho, regarding Ed...I've just recently started hearing of him thanks to some people at other boards I visit. And I heard a couple of his songs within the last couple of months "Born In The 70s" and another one whose name I can't think of right now. I like the first song, and from what I recall, I didn't mind the other song I'd heard, either

Hey I took him off the list some time ago (I even made an Ed thread because I couldn't find that one) and I agree he's wonderfully amazing. Or amazingly wonderful.

I'm jealous. That release is on Sam's birthday. And involves elephants. He'd better be releasing an album about penguins on September 23rd.
