Sure did. My friend Jeff Skulletan is in it briefly.
There's eels, and then there's EELS though. eels is the sad-sack, preoccupied-with-mortality material. EELS is the foot-stompin' dog faced boy material. E used to mix those two tendencies perfectly, but hasn't managed (or even really tried) to since Souljacker -- with the exception of Wonderful, Glorious, which is why I love it so much.
If I have to pick one, anymore I'll take EELS. If only because eels records have gotten terrifically dull. This one, this new one -- eels record. Still gonna buy it, but it makes me sad how little I get excited about his records anymore.

That's sad to hear. I was never a huge fan of theirs/his, but I did listen to Blinking Light and Other Revelations about a million times because of my brother. Wonderful, Glorious also helped my brother deal with his bipolar disorder in a major way so I've got a big soft spot in my heart for it too.

Electro-Shock Blues does everything that either of those two records does, except 100x better. It's one of my top ten of all time. If you have any love for eels at all, that's the one.

I've seen them twice in the last five or six years.
First time, it was E on piano and this dude named The Chet playing the singing saw. eels.
Second time, there were seven dudes with John Muir beards wearing matching suits onstage. Three guitars. Horns. Dog faced boy. EELS.

The dude who was supposed to send me EELS' Wonderful, Glorious fucked up the shipments and I ended up with a copy of Space is Only Noise that was supposed to go to some dude in New Jersey. Which would be cool if I didn't already have a copy of Space is Only Noise. I let dude know right away, and after more than 24 he just refunded my money because he couldn't be bothered to send the correct item. Then he had the noive to ask me to ship back Space is Only Noise. Like THAT'S gonna happen. So I ordered a copy of Peter Gabriel 1 (Car) and Peter Gabriel 4 (Security) and called it a day.

Tell him to send you a return label and then you are not on the hook for postage and they can't get mad at you for stealing a record.

They DID send a return label. Fuck that, though, I'm not gonna do that guy any favors, he's the one who sucks.
Anyone want a vinyl copy of Space is Only Noise?
