Apparently, it's a 'fake' text written by NME. NME has a section in it's magazine where they write fake 'interviews' with artists. E. solo show at 'The Getty' museum 23-9-2000 E. will do a solo show at The Getty museum in LA on October 20th. Read the complete article here.
	More information about 'obscene' eels album 23-9-2000 Salon Magazine featured a new article about the eels/republicans news from two days ago. The writer of this Article (Jake Tapper) criticises the way the republicans talk about the eels CD. According to him: 'It's perhaps appropriate that the Bush campaign has devoted its last three days talking about Shiloh and the Eels -- because "Shilohgate" is one dog of a scandal, and slamming Gore for the Eels CD is about as slippery a charge as I've heard this year. Read the complete article here (or read the local mirror here) Republicans criticise Al Gore about eels album! 21-9-2000 Some really remarkable news here. Apparently, the last eels album Daisies of the Galaxy has been a new marketing tool of the Republicans to show how inconstant Al Gore is. It's generally known that Gore has said that the entertainment sector should stop with bringing out violent movies and obscene language etc. However, according to Bush campaign spokesman Ari Fleischer, Gore handed out 'compact discs containing obscene song titles and lyrics' (referring to 'It's a Motherfucker') 'and a cartoon cover'. According to Fleischer 'the combination of the obscene words and child-friendly jacket shows that America's families and parents cannot count on Al Gore to stop Hollywood from marketing this stuff to children'.

'Dog's life' and 'Funeral Parlor' both are now available from the lyrics section. New Climbing to the Moon tabs available 18-9-2000 Gord mailed me a new tab for 'Climbing to the Moon'. This version differs from the three other versions in the archive because you can play this version without a capo. Check it out at the ESB tab page. Midi section opens 16-9-2000 From today on, you can visit the new MIDI file section here on 3speed. It features (you guessed it ;-) midi files from the eels, including '3speed', 'i like birds' and 'last stop:this town' and many more. Check it out for yourself here. Lyrics section opens 14-9-2000 I've started to work a bit on the 3speed sections that are currently not or not fully operational, and I've finished the lyrics section! Check it out here. 'Tomorrow I'll be nine' tab available 14-9-2000 Jan Wijma from Spunky2 tabbed out an e. solo song from 'Broken Toy Shop'. Check it out here. The reasons for the lack of 3speed updates 11-9-2000 As you may have noticed, there hasn't been much updates on 3speed recently, but there is one very simple reason: there isn't enough news. The eels have ended the 'Daisies' tour and are now presumably working on the new record. I'm currently working on the best songs poll.. Announcing the 'best eels songs poll' 1-9-2000 I recently had to make a 'best of eels' CD for a friend, and it made me wonder: what are the best e./eels songs ever? So i decided to make an 'best eels songs poll', click here to read more about it! New tabs online 1-9-2000 Regular tab contributor Tom C. has mailed me some tabs again, 'Electro-Shock blues' and some updated versions of songs.
