10 REASONS I LOVE EELS COVERS AND RARITIES

By request, some more eels stuff. If there’s interest in me doing more, I’ll keep this train a-runnin’. Drop me a comment if you want even more.

1. Rock Show (Peaches cover)-eels (live)

2. That’s Life (Sinatra)-eels (live)

3. Fucker-eels

4. I’m Only Sleeping (Beatles)-A Man Called E (live)

5. Fingertips III (Stevie Wonder)-eels (live). This is the rare example of E doing a cover and it going horribly, horribly wrong.

6. Jennifer Eccles-eels (b-side)

7. Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas-eels (live)

8. Open the Door (Magnapop cover)-eels (live)

9. Flyswatter (Polka remix)-eels

10. Manchester Girl-eels (b-side). A truly lovely song that for some reason I can’t understand was only released as a B-side.

    Don’t know if you’ve seen this about Mark Everett: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/tv/2007/11/last_nights_tv_parallel_worlds.html

    “Manchester Girl” was originally a track on E’s second album “Broken Toy Shop.” His two solo albums are full of sunny pop that is a stark contrast to his deeper darker Eels material.

    Great job.
    Hell, I loved the original Foo Fighters covers post.
