elijah_findsElijah was great today on Jo Whiley. I took notes and he said some things that, for me, were really good to hear and had me almost jumping up & down in my chair with happiness! There was one particular thing he came out with that really had me squeeing for a particular reason. :-) I won't repeat any of it here because that might be too spoilerish for some. But really, the interview is definitely worth listening to if you can, and even more especially if you're a LOTR fan!

Date: 2007-02-24 06:35 pm (UTC)Yes, it definitely was an interesting interview & well worth the listen. I don't really know Jo Whiley because she's on Radio 1 which is for youngsters & usually just plays current music -- I'm not usually desperately fond of that!

Date: 2007-02-25 01:51 am (UTC)At the moment I'm listening to "New Magnetic Wonder" which I just got today. The CD has 24 tracks and I'm only on #8, but I like the Apples so far. There's a lot of difference in their sound from one song to the next. So far I like them.

Date: 2007-02-25 01:16 pm (UTC)Oh, so you already have the album! Cool! That's quite a lot of tracks, isn't it -- 24? I've only heard "Energy", and I thought there was a slight ELO sound to it, but then I heard Elijah mention ELO in the past & I think it's maybe deliberate.
Glad you like them, anyhow! I watched H&TSF again, and I do think the lead singer (Heloise I guess) is quite attractive -- and at least she has normal-sized thighs! ;-D

Date: 2007-02-25 06:47 pm (UTC)I could be wrong, but "Energy" on the CD sounds much better. It's a different "take" -- longer, for starters, and a little bit different arrangement. I'd need to listen to the video and CD back-to-back to be sure though.
I have only heard snatches of H&TSF, so I suppose I shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement on them. The first photo I saw of Heloise was sitting with Elijah at the Olympus Fashion Week last year in NYC. I remember thinking she looked "normal" size. LOL

Date: 2007-02-23 04:08 pm (UTC)No, no ... I don't want to give a misleading impression! It's not about anything exciting that's going to happen -- more along the lines of his feelings about various things. It's nothing earth-shattering at all really -- but some things he said just went down well with me personally! :-) I went through a phase where I felt I was losing the Frolijah I knew, so I guess my squee level went down accordingly, but now I'm feeling a lot more hopeful again.

Date: 2007-02-23 04:37 pm (UTC)Also, mumis, I don't really know you but from what I *do* know, I think you are here in the fandom for reasons that are different from mine in some ways. There are some things that would be more important to me than to you. Having said that, Elijah did say some lovely things about being in the UK! And of course because I'm British I like to hear that! :-)

Date: 2007-02-24 01:46 pm (UTC)That's a very good description of Graham Norton! ;-) And yes, radio seems to be better for some reason -- I guess because it's just based on the spoken word.
I am just basking in all the Elijah goodness right now!!
Me too! Great, innit?! :-)

BTW I've put up a new entry explaining exactly what I was rabbiting on about, as I appear to have confused some people!
I held my breath for the couple of seconds before he answered "Frodo". It always makes me feel good when he says things like that
I stopped breathing myself at that point ... but all turned out well!
I was even ridiculously pleased when he recently mentioned that he'd still like to live in NZ!!
You know, I caught a glimpse of that piece of news somewhere & now I can't recall where it is. Could you tell me exactly what he said or give a link to it?
I was also pleased that he said in this Jo Whiley interview that he's still friendly with Dom & Billy & Vig. Would have been even more pleased if he'd included Sean, but perhapss he just forgot.
I was so, so glad to hear what he said about the other cast members! Though it just makes me wonder why there seems to be this big kind of "forbidden" sign hanging over those topics on the UK TV shows he appears in ...
Did you notice that he called "our film" 'The Oxford Crimes'? He's called it that before - I wonder if that will be the actual title.
Yes, and that made me sit up a little! Though there's been some speculation, it seems, about what the eventual title will be.

I read your latest entry on this subject. I used to worry that he might start to distance himself from LOTR but I don't now - he has said so many things on this subject to completely reassure me - I could fill many pages with quotes to the effect that he'll always be proud to be known as Frodo, that LOTR was the greatest experience of his life - that he'd never even want to try to top it. At one time I couln't even bear to think of him associated with any other film than LOTR - but I knew that was silly. I feel confident now that whatever roles he takes on, Frodo will always be closest to his heart. I hated that HotDog headline too - but then I realised that those weren't Elijah' words - they were the reporter's. Elijah doesn't say that in the acctual interview. Journalists love to head any article about him with "Leaving Frodo behind" "Goodbye to ME" etc, etc - but those headlines are never Elijah's actual words. And I've noticed that very often in intervieews it's Elijah who mentions LOTR first - that was the case with this Instant Talk Show. Sorry, that's turned into a bit of a ramble but it's something I feel very passionate about.
