Anybody else a fan of these guys? I can't stop listening to Hombre Lobo and Shootenanny lately...Another act I would've loved to catch on tour this year!

Shootenanny, Daisies, Souljacker, and Electroshock are my favorite E releases. I never got to see him live durign any of these periods, or ever for that matter. I have a feeling i wouldbe severely let down now. I watched that DVD from a few years back & wanted to shoot myself.
This past tour was pretty awesome. The horn section was pretty rad and every one of them had beards and sunglasses on to look like E.

You mean, uhhh....what was it called....Useless Trinkets? I saw that and thought about checking it out. That bad eh? :\Originally Posted by bobbie solo
I found Electroshock on a suggestion from ETS year ago, and quickly became addicted. They've got plenty of other good stuff, but that's still my hands-down favorite. Utterly depressing though...gotta be careful deciding when to listen to it.
Yeah, this. I love all of E's releases, but they're all rather depressing in their own way. "Little Bird" kills me every time. Really enjoyed reading his autobiography; a lot of ugly honesty in there.
New album's coming out Feb. 5th! "Wonderful, Glorious." Lotsa cheap pre-order packages available.
My favorite of the two tracks out right now (the other one being "Peach Blossom")-
Also, there's a ton of new stuff (at least, since the last time I looked) on their store's page. http://eelstheband.com/
And on a side note, has anyone else seen the documentary about E learning about his father? "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives?" It's on youtube in parts. I'm on part 3 so far. Really interesting stuff, and I'm kind of in E's position in terms of understanding mathematics and scientific theories. :P
Edit: Holy shit. I'm at the end of this documentary, and E just had this really awesome moment when he listened to old audio recordings of his father, and he eventually finds a tape that has E himself as a kid, just talking. Man. Watch this if you get an hour to kill.

Wow! I had almost forgotten about this band. I used to love the 'Beautiful Freak' (I think that was the name) album.
Listening to the new album.Tasty stuff.
I'll see him next month
Forgot about the album coming out this year; have to go check it out! I made the mistake of turning on an earlier album and letting Eels play for the next three hours while reading on a day on which I was already extremely depressed. Despite not really listening to the lyrics, I think it still managed to get under my skin. Egad, E really knows how to just crush someone's spirit.
