I thought you had read it. I finished it a month or two ago, it really makes for some interesting insight to his songs. What a fucked up family.

Should I get the book after I've heard all the albums?

i think so, i'm a superfan so i'm biased. i think its an incredibly interesting story whether you've heard the music or not.

haha, nothing wrong with that. the songs he wrote from the POV of his sister break my heart like 3 speed, elizabeth on the bathroom floor, last stop in this town, my decent into madness, and electro shock blues. its kinda like how every song john lennon wrote about his mother is one of his best. daskbf;dsbfo;asbdfoiabnsdofinasoidnfoiadsnfoadsf <--- that was me not being able to express this albums greatness in words.

I hooked up with a now famous person a really long time ago who loved the Eels album from '98. She listened to it all the time.

I bought his album in 2003, with a black cover, and tried to listen to it, but just didn't, well, it didn't find me.

Respected both albums I heard, just neither were albums I'd ever play.

Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight

I forgot I like this one quite a bit. I like seeing what you like and then going back and listening a few times. A lot of Eels songs are definitely growers.

:mrgreen: yeah, its easy to put off eels tunes as simple, with dumb lyrics. but once you realize what's really going on, you realize that the songs are so packed and rich. they have a shitload of heart too, which i require from my music.
