Singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett started out under the moniker A Man Called E, releasing two albums of dark, melodic pop in the early 1990s.

I met Rach when I was 21, and I was relying on public transportation and rides from friends to get from point A to point B. It sucked.
My job was on the other side of town, and the city’s bus s... MORE

It's not immediately obvious how to approach Eels' latest collections. And the last word of that opening sentence gives a clue as to why this might be. Meet the Eels presents - in chronological order - the 'best of' the band's output over the past decade or so. A reasonably conventional 'greatest hits'-type affair. Released simultaneously - although not necessarily bundled with Meet the Eels - is a sprawling compilation of 50 B-sides, remixes, demos, live recordings and su... MORE

Everett (second from right) with Niels Bohr (center)
The only known recordings of a brilliant physicist who predicted the existence of parallel universes have been found in the basement of his rock star son's flat. The tapes document how Hugh Everett, a quantum physicist, developed his idea at the age of 24, while a graduate student at Princeton University in 1957. Everett's theory gave rise to the concept of a multitude of universes, or a "m... MORE

Of all the posters I've done, (and since I'm such a big fan of this band) I'd say I'm most proud of this one...

Eels is pretty much the vehicle for one, Mark Oliver Everett (otherwise known as "E")... He's led a tragic and amazing life... His father was the world famous quantum physicist, Hugh Everett... at 19 years of age, Mark found his father dead...

Lo peor de que te guste escribir es que las ideas llegan en su mejor forma cuando menos lo esperas. Como cuando estás tratando de dormir, y tienes que despertar temprano y hacer muchas cosas al otro día. Pero lo mejor es que en ese momento no sientes nada más que la felicidad de tener una idea bien elaborada, que parece fluir mágicamente en tu cabeza.
Lo peor de lo peor es despertar al otro día y darte cuenta de que lo que escribiste la noche anterior no tiene ningun sen... MORE

You know something that has annoyed me recently. I saw someone on here mention a site run by ebay called half.com..esentially cheap cds...now who doesn't like that....anyway....because I am from the UK I cannot use it, and man it would come in handy.

Then Electro-Shock Blues came out, and although it took me a little longer to... MORE
