Monday 5 june
: Keith Cameron
from the 'Guardian Guide' wrote a review about 'flyswatter', the new eels single, he isn't
so positive:
'At least Muse waited until Radiohead vanished into the black hole of their own genius
before discracing themselves with their puny presence. eels break all the rules of
rock'n'roll surrogacy by effectively being Beck while beck's still around. Flyswatter is
the sort of good-natured inconsequence that Americans of a certain age and inclination can
apparently knock out while sitting on the lavatory - in other words, it rhymes
"kitchin'" with "itchin'" and sounds like crap.'
: The new eels
single 'Flyswatter' has been officially released now. There are, again, two versions of
the single. The 'unreleased track' is the track that the eels played at the end of their
recent concerts.
