Too true, probably my all time favourite musician.
His book about his life, 'Things the Grandchildren Should Know' is excellent; well written and very revealing. It's also worth mentioning the documentary 'Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives' that followed him as he researched the life of his quantum physicist father. Well worth a watch by anyone who hasn't seen it!

I don't know much about Eels, other than Novocaine For The Soul.

The new album is out today (6th April) -- it's good with the same mixture of melancholy and some upbeat songs.
Listening to it now on Spotify. Strangely the melancholy aspects seem strangely uplifting, but this is what I get from all his albums, it's such great music. The album by the way is called The Deconstruction - will definitely be buying it.

Thanks. Meet The Eels now ordered. let's see what I've been missing.
so how did you get on Twig?I need to find time to sit down with it and give it a proper listen, before I decide. I'm sure the band members are waiting nervously for my verdict!
