saw them at titp at the weekend, they're one of my mate's favourite bands but i'd never really given them a real listen. this song though was amazing though. one of the guys i met there said he wasnt gonna go see Eels because they were too sad, but their set was jubilant and celebratory. even this song was played in such a way as to give some hope, as though, hey things are bad, but just fucking dance and get through it. every lyric in this song is completely relatable to me. consider me a fan.
Don't you just hate when the ( dream) girl your kissing turns out to be your dog! Amazing video as always! This is also the second time he's slipped his book into a video.
@gerry17sunshine He means, this is the second time Eels have put out a music video that includes E's autobiography.
In this video, E holds it up to Padma Lakshmi at the outdoor dinner table. It's funny because he's trying to show off his literature skills to her. (I also loved how he opens a page in his own book and nods with approval)
This song deserves more attention, music like this needs to be on our radios and televisions, in the charts, not the same recycled crap we're subjected to day after day.
I have been a fan of Eels for about 11 years now...and after hearing all of Mark's solo stuff and Eels stuff, to me, this is kind of the quintessential Eels song and video. The whole worldview and everything. I think it's brilliant.
Eels fans, help me out. Mate played me an Eels track a few years ago. I remember part of the lyrics was something about him walking his dog. Ring any bells? Want to find this track again. Cheers.
The song could be 'Things the Grandchildren Should Know' It is on the 'Blinking Lights' album. It is also the title of his fantastic autobiography. Well worth a read.
I really like the beard, E. It gives you this sophisticated/free look. In other words, you look civilized, but you do it with some kind of individuality.
E, I smiled the whole way through. You never, ever, EVER, fail to amuse me or entertain me with your stories and videos. Hence, why my iTunes top 10 is just Eels. Can't wait to listen to Hombre Lobo again.
add vid to my fav, thanx.
