"Everybody’s had one person die; I call those people amateurs" – DiS meets Eels
Back in 1979 Neil Young addressed worries of his own impending irrelevance on ‘Hey Hey, My My’, acknowledging critics who had accused him of sliding towards the middle of the road with his hit album Harvest and explicitly declaring his intent to arrest the drift. Such an accusation of burgeoning artistic anonymity isn’t really something that’s ever been levelled at Eels, AKA Mark Everett, AKA E.

Interesting stuff
First I'd heard about the new unofficial biography, should be a good read. Also despite being a bit of an Eels completist I'd never heard of Bad Dude in Love, strange that E has effectively disowned it all these years. A quick check on eBay shows one copy listed at $4.5k so guess I won't be buying that, found it streamable here though - http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/Bad+Dude+In+Love/5331632
Wow, thanks Thus
I've never heard Bad Dude before and it certainly makes interesting listening. Dan, you're in for a treat seeing them live, though you must promise to see them again and again and again. Part of the fun of Eels Live is that each tour tends to be very different from the last.
