Exams, I can not guarantee a daily update, I will try to find some time for it, but don't
count on it every day ;-)
Monday 24 april
: The eels are
going DVD! Mara Schwartz has send a report to the spunky2 mailinglist, in which she states
that:
"I'm editor of a music videomagazine on DVD format called Circuit, and we
recently filmed an interview with E (of Eels, natch) in which he tours a local vintage
musical instrument store (Black Market Music in LA). He walks around commenting on
the different odd instruments there (pink sparkly guitars, etc.), plus he talks about the
band and the new album. He's got a great sense of humor and the piece is really funny,
plus it's one of the few filmed interviews I've seen with him lately. This issue (#6)
won't be in stores til early June, but I know it can be pre-ordered at DVDexpress.com and
Amazon.com (and I believe you get a discount if you pre-order it, to boot)"
: If you really
enjoyed the karaoke version of 'The day i wrote you off', take part in the Karaoke
Competion! Send your voice to me in MP3

rumour: the eels will be playing at the reading

festival line-up looks really nice, with great bands like Oasis, Muse, Foo Fighters, Beck,
Pulp and Eminem.
