Today is my eldest brother’s birthday, so let’s all say Happy Birthday to my big brother, lest he think we don’t care. Because we do. If we didn’t, would it hurt as much? I doubt it. Cheers to you, big bro.

After admitting my new love of all things Eel, Chris suggested that I try their latest release. And so I have, thank you iTunes music store for addressing my immediate needs, immediately. The way they were meant to be addressed. This is a double cd release, so I am working my way through it, but in a day or two, I’ll post something good for you to hear. In the mean time, you can hear a new Eels song every day at their My Space site. But then you have to venture on to myspace. And so far, with the exception of a couple of people, myspace.com kinda scares me. But go there today, before the day before yesterday’s song disappears “I’m going to stop pretending that I did not break your heart.” Because so far, it is one of my favorites on this new album.

“Blinking Lights and Other Revelations”

Oh, look at me, the music reviewer. How cute.
