There is no pope to have an audience with!

Audience 

(5) A formal interview with a person in authority

"He demanded an audience with the pope." 

consultation: a conference (usually with someone important); "he had a consultation with the judge"; "he requested an audience with the king"

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  It's great to be back at the Basilica!  But seriously, though, folks... My wife ordered something simple at a restaurant, the waiter sent me to her table! (drumroll).... Feel free to save your applause for the end of the show, your holiness!  You might be a redneck if you insist on drinking communion wine with a straw!  Your priest might be a redneck if Boone's Farm is his communion wine of choice!  What's the deal with that Yoko Ono?!  What about all that traffic in Rome?!!  Your holiness, have I got a treat for you!  I'm going to do my impression of Jack Nicholson working at a Taco Bell!...."

Funny, his voice is one of the greatest strengths of Elbow for me - just shows how subjective taste is. I love the languid and drole nature of it - suits the slightly off-beam nature of the music brilliantly.
 


Sorry, should have been droll, but the spell-checker "corrected" it for me for some reason...

I think this is a really great song. Good music. 
But this guys voice just ruins it for me.

He's using this definition:
consultation: a conference (usually with someone important); "he had a consultation with the judge"; "he requested an audience with the king"
There's this thing called the Internet that provides all types of info. {#Devil_pimp}

I think this is the worst track off of the album.
Sounds like a 78 rpm single played at 33 rpm!

I recently bought this disc...I'm enjoying it.  So far I like the last track 'friends of ours' best.

I am very sensitive to his voice, I was doing something else and had to come to the computer to see who was singing. First time I hear this one song by Elbow, it's really nice. As for the lyrics, to associate the girl, the pope and saving the world in one song I must confess, is quite strange but somehow it works for my non native english speaker ears.

I'm sure they will. Can't wait for the next one. 

Thank you Bill for increasing your play of Elbow. Can never get enough of these guys :)

Personally I never heard the likeness until I saw the comparison being drawn by RP listeners. Plus, Elbow's lyrical content is so much cheekier than PG's. I love em both.

This one's just okay for me but Bill played a different one of theirs yesterday sometime (sounded like Peter Gabriel?) that I can't remember that was the bomb!
 

One Day Like This?

I see a lot of people saying that Elbow sound like Peter Gabriel, but the only song that really sounds like Peter to me is One Day Like This.

It's official 9->10 and I love this album...  Every song on it is magical.

  ...well, tm:

On Saturday 17th January 2009 at the world famous Abbey Road studios in London, Elbow performed the entirety of their Mercury Music Prize winning album The Seldom Seen Kid with the BBC Concert Orchestra and Chantage, the winners of Radio 3's Choir Of The Year competition. The unique performance of the album was seen by a select audience and was broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on the evening of Saturday 31st January. The show saw the band play new and exclusive versions of the songs from the album in order. They were joined (as on the album) by Richard Hawley for The Fix.

This import features the standard 11-track album along with a DVD of the aformentioned performance, featuring all 11 album tracks.

The 2 disc CD is out April 7th, and since the first release, it 'aint cheap for those of us across the pond.....Maybe Bill will get hold of this release and let us have a listen.
