Release of the week: Eels
Quiet on the new release front except for the new Eels. Well, okay it’s not really *new* Eels...I know, you’re thinking, “The Eels. Should I know who they are?” Well if you listened to the radio anytime in 1996 or 1997, you surely heard “Novocaine for the Soul”. (I still like that song.) And if you read my blog back in 2005, I was somewhat obsessed with the song “old shit/new shit” for awhile. So let’s get into the deets..
Meet The EELS: Essential EELS Vol. 1, 1996-2006
24 tracks spanning a decade of tunes from the artist known as “E” and his revolving cast of bandmates.
EELS Useless Trinkets: B-Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased 1996-2006.
Useless Trinkets is a must-have collection of 50 hard-to-find B-sides, film contributions and unreleased tracks, and a DVD of live performance footage from Lollapalooza 2006.
Both albums have been digitally remastered and are accompanied by notes from E and full-color booklets.
Sounds awesome, right? Well, good, because I am giving a copy of each away, courtesy of the cool peeps at Filter. Hit me back in comments or email me if you want ‘em. I’ll give you until Thursday for good measure.
