Eels Interview with Music Express in 2000 (Part 1 of 3)

[ukulazy]

The part where he sings 'Oh Momma's dead...' was hilarious. Perfect blues parody.

[ThePieIsLie]

Eeeeeerie!

[pathammond]

Dave Fanning is a great interviewer. Very interested and just knows his stuff INSIDE OUT.

[icecreamscuseme]

Fanning gets a bit dreadful towards the end of this part. Shoehorning in the bits about E's family so awkwardly to give people more background on him and the psychiatrist bit is cringy.

[ukulazy]

@icecreamscuseme Yes, and asking if his sister ending her life and E finding his father dead was a 'traumatic experience' was just horrible.

[mag042374]

Hmm. I like this guy.

[tomthefunky]

Notice how they blur the camera on Dave Fannings face to hide his age. Barbara Streisand and Elisabeth Taylor do that. No man should do that. Especially a hack DJ from Ireland whose only claim to fame is that he played U2 records before anyone else. Pathetic

[itslikeframingapear]

Awesome, I have alot of respect for this man.

[uktah]

E;s weird and cool

[gilraen690]

Exactly my point :D

[benjanning]

Mr E is brilliant. he's so interesting!

[langerlord]

Hey, that's Dave Fanning.

[benjanning]

O yeah! cool! woo Eels and Ireland.

[hectorleon87]

what's the song he's talking about as a tribute to his mother?

[RockingEelscom]

"I Like Birds"

[Arastophes]

@RockingEelscom I thought it was "Ant Farm."

Huh. Oh well.

[riffypeat]

This man is such a great musical influence for me. He amazes me.

[kingkieran123]

Nice job getting hold of this one Berni.

Thanks.

[ltothem11]

genius!

[jasonsgroovemachine]

E are amazin...

Yeah I know its not great grammar, but I don't care.
