Seeing as Eels' new album "Shootenanny" is coming out 3rd of june, there's a nice interview on the eels-website with E.
The Interview Itself
"C.M.Y.: "Saturday Morning", about being bored when you're a kid and your parents aren't awake yet, must be unique in its subject matter.
E: I've been thinking about that lately. That feeling of being eight years old and a day seems like a year. You wake up early on Saturday and it'll be three hours before you can even go to your friend's house to play. It seems like a small moment now, but it was such a big deal then. Do you remember a show called Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp?
C.M.Y.: No.
E: It was like Get Smart, but with chimps. I remember watching that show at 6 a.m. and when it was over, thinking, 'What am I going to do now?' I recently bought a tape of the show as research. I do a lot of research for my songs."
such a GREAT idea for a song! :)
"C.M.Y.: Are you going to tour?
E: I can't wait. Something strange has happened to me. I used to hate touring. Now I just want to get back to it. I was really sad when the last tour ended. There's something great about always moving. My favorite time of day is Rock O'clock."
HA!

thanks qrter! i've recently gotten into eels, mark everett is a really cool dude.
btw: have you ever heard of "late night with zack"? it was a show on vh1 that only lasted about a month, but it was great! eels played "fresh feeling" on there, and i've been trying to find video/audio recording of it. any idea?

yeah, its been on slsk for months, as usual.
I don't like it very much. it's almost like a retrospective - you can go through the whole album and say "oh, that track's an [i]electroshock blues[/i] track, oh, that's a [i]daisies for the galaxy[/i] track" etc.
oh well. we'll see how it is when I have the finished product in my grubby little hands.
going to see them play on the 27th, next month. thats always fun.
LeCoeur: you should get their live albums! there are two and they produce them themselves - you can only buy them from the site. I would especially recommend the new one.

JESUS!
I just did a google for E's father, as E says in the interview..
"My father was a genius (Hugh Everett III, responsible for Everett's Many Worlds Theory of Parallel Universes)"
..which sounds like a joke to me.
it's TRUE!

uh... I burned it to cd but I can't find it at the moment.. : s
the only one I can remember is track #4 was very electroshock-y (also was the one I really liked).

i saw them live a while ago
it was pretty depressing, not much energy. the best part was when butch came out and sang a song about being a sad clown for kids parties

Jeez... a fifth album already?! I think i have some shopping to do :-p I only have the first 2 ones so far. But i love them both dearly (especially electroshock blues), so i want to buy the other 2 as well. And eventually this new one too.
"it'll be three hours before you can even go to your friend's house to play. It seems like a small moment now, but it was such a big deal then"
Hehe... i remember that feeling! I just love this guy's lyrics :-) Can't wait to hear the finished result!!
Where do they play in holland? I've never seen them live... sounds like i've been missing out.
