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.
Holy Crap Jodi! I just checked out the “I’m going to stop pretending…” song and I’m shaking and a little weepy now. A definite keeper!
Happy B-Day elder bro !!
i should start a band called the electric eels if the eels were an acoustic band and play only eels songs but with electric guitars
i wish i had something good to say instead of what i just said
Happy Happy Eldest Brother of Sweet Jodi!!!
that’s right, andy… make sure he understands how sweet i am. it’s quite possible he’s forgotten. 🙂
reader, the electric eels could be a tribute band, and everything could be played on synthesizers. all songs, all synth. the way that Apocolypta played Metallica songs on four cellos. no singing… just a loving synth tribute. with robots. there would need to be robots. naturally.
happy birthday Big Brother of Jodi!
and jodi, thanks for pointing out the Eels songs. i just can’t stop listening to “i’m going to stop…”
my birthday wishes for your bro: may you have all the happiness you deserve =) i like the eels. i should listen to them more. perhaps i will listen to them today!!! i missed that song, though. i like “novocaine for the soul” though so it’s okay. do you remember when they might be giants had “dial a song”? itw as essentially an answering machine with a song recorded on the outgoing message.
Alles Gutte Zum Geburtstag Bruder
