Eels @ the Brixton Academy last night

[bambini]

I went to see Eels playing at the Brixton Academy (one of my favourite venues) with a couple friends last night. Thought I'd share with y'all

After a bit of a slow start it turned out to be a really great gig. In amongst a lot of his more recent stuff (which I'm less keen on), he did a great cover of Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City", plus a Beatles/Chuck Berry inspired version of "Mr E's Beautiful Blues" (even if you have not idea who Eels are, you'll know this one!) and full-on rock versions of "My Beloved Monster" and "I Like Birds".

I took a look at the T-shirt stand there too. Never really paid any attention to his more recent album art, but I noticed that one of the T-shirts on sale had a picture of one of his album covers on it:



I dunno you guys, but there's something familiar about that artwork...

So, did you buy the T shirt?

E (aka Mark Everett) is a cigar enthusiast, I have read on several occasions.

Here's proof:



PS Did you know his father, an eminent physicist, "invented" the theory of parallel universes?

So, did you buy the T shirt?

'Fraid not. I've just bought a house, so have no money to buy frivolous things like t-shirts

Besides, I'm only a casual Eels listener. If I'm gonna wear a band's t-shirt, I try to make sure I love the band in case someone asks me questions
