Does It Have To End?
Filed Under Album Picks
Wow! I woke up in the worse mood this morning. Just annoyed with every little thing that is coming at me. Watch out people, I bite! I am bummed for so many reasons… One of them being that this glorious rain we have been receiving is on its way out. I have loved every second of it and I know that saying, “all good things must come to an end” but I don’t want to hear it right now.
Radiohead is putting on a benefit concert for Haiti this Sunday in LA @ The Fonda. I wish I was in a position to bid on these tickets and help out the people of Haiti as well as see my loves. This is just not an option right now for me… Which is completely depressing but I am very pleased that Radiohead has taken time out of the studio to do their part to help this country in peril. If I could I would be there in a split second.
In other news the new Eels album was released this week…
I totally wish I was more excited for it, but unfortunately only a few songs off this 14 track album made it on to my playlist. Mark Oliver Everett the bluesy singer-songwriter is not quite at his best on his new album, but there are a few noteworthy tracks to check out so I wouldn’t ignore it completely by any means. You never know, it could always grow on me.
Hopefully this day will pick up… It’s Friday anyway so that is indeed a good thing.

Fingers crossed your day gets better – here’s hoping for a good weekend!!
Its’ quite odd, this album has been getting some amazing reviews in the UK press (one even said it’s his best record yet). Glad to see I’m not the only one a little disappointed by it. Neither awful nor great, just a bit meh. Sounds a bit like a bunch of demos and b-sides to me. Such a let down because I thought ‘Hombre Lobo’ was great.
