EELS

[NurseRatched]

EELS are growing on me. Electro-shock Blues is really good. It's speaking to me

[Dee]

All that talk about hospital, cancer and death and wanting to live after all - to a Nurse? I should hope so...

But seriously, I'm delighted. It's an incredible album. If you only ever listen to one original Eels album, that has to be the one, I reckon.

How about 'Hospital Food'? I just love the whacky instrumentalisation on this one.

Coming through the alley trying to walk without a sound
It doesn't really matter 'cause there ain't no one around
Tip toe through the alley and tip toe through your life
You still got it coming be it gun be it knife
Next thing you know you're eating hospital food

Karaoke castration take the wasp alive
He's gonna sting you anyway and take you to the hive
Yesterday was suckin' and tomorrow's looking bad
Who knew that today was the only thing I had?

Hospital food
Want some hospital food
Hospital food
Delicious Hospital food

In your tribute album to the world you must never forget
To sing the one about the cat who's always getting wet
He's always got a problem he's a very bitter dude
And now he is complaining 'bout his hospital food

Hospital food
It's gonna help the medicine go down
Want some hospital food
Gonna take a walk without a sound
A little hospital food
Helps the spoonful of sugar come up
I want some hospital food
In your blender and in my cup


A very sweet stripped down percussive live version:

Just played this, driving home. Such a great song.

[NurseRatched]

I agree, Dee! It could easily be on the radio-seems like it would have mass appeal for sure. I really liked Trouble with Dreams, too. It has a quality like it's from another era; really simple and sweet sound. Keep them coming!!

Sweet little acoustic concert footage. We've enjoyed this tonight.

Thanks, NR.

[NurseRatched]

This song has been running through my head all week.

[Dee]

Oh, that's a golden one.


Here is another:

Your Lucky Day In Hell (from my DJ set the other day, on Radio Paradiso, you know ):

[NurseRatched]

Yeah, I really like this one. It's got a good groove...

[Dee]

The new album is major disappointment. We have just played it through again. Same old but not half as good.

So back to the golden oldies:
