Guy's got a very twisted sense of humor.  Just another reason I like him.

I found "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives" fascinating.

Great insight into the music of Eels.

Mark Everett is the driving force behind Eels. His dad was a brilliant but emotionally inaccessible physicist who likely had something like Asperger's. I saw a documentary about father and son which gave the impression that Mark is still working out a lot of issues from childhood. He's also gone through a lot as an adult.

Are the Eels reinventing the wheel and doing anything earth breaking.....no. Are they a solid, fun band with a great sense of melody and humor....absolutely!

Don't forget the similarly-themed "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash.

Me too! I assume you just read that New Yorker article too?

This is the result of good music mixed by a good DJ - there's a whole group of us that have been taken on the same ride.

Complete agree. Is there a Pulitzer Prize for radio programming? If so, Bill should submit this set.

BTW they advertize that the ring tone is available - I'd like to hear the syncopated cacophony as a ring tone!

Waking up with an ugly face
Winston Churchill in drag

At a party once, when Churchill was drunk (kinda redundant), a woman said to him "Mr. Churchill, you are drunk" to which he replied "yes, madam, and you are ugly, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly".

It's kind of a sideways reference to that story I guess, trippy free association.

More Eeels, pleese!
There are so many great ones - this one is far from being the cream of the crop!
Not bad, though ...

I downloaded that Bjork video on utube and was watching that when I came back to PR I heard the line “waking up with an ugly face Winston Churchill in drag”.

Got the coffee off the monitor ok the keyboard will probably be sticky for a spell.
