just got my 'eels press kit' in the mail today. it's not much of a kit 
actually, but i wanted the photo that came with it. its a b&w of e looking 
straight into the camera seemingly oblivious of the girls standing behind

there was a blip where e reiterates that the music they were recording for 
dotg was really two records but he only wanted to put out the one now(the 
fun pretty one not the dark scary one). only makes me want to hear them. 
there's also some comments from e on some of the songs from dotg which are 
as follows:

"grace kelly blues": i saw a mime walking in paris on a very hot day and 
then watched a strange documentary about princess grace's dark side.
"packing blankets": about the joys of reinvention.
"i like birds": a tribute to my mother. she was really into birds. after she 
died, i brought back her feeder and some books about birds. i put the feeder 
in my yard, and i got them a birdbath too.
"daisies of the galaxy": not nearly as pretentious as the title might lead 
you to believe. first i wrote a short story about a guy and a kid on the run 
who end up at a small-town movie house called the galaxy, where they watch 
"terminator 2." then i based a song on it.
"tiger in my tank": an anti-advertising jingle.
"jeannie's diary": an unrecorded song from before 'a man called e'. i used 
to get really obsessed.
"selective memory": a sad song because none of the things in it really 
happened. but he has to tell himself that he simply can't recall the even
