Has anyone heard of any UK tour dates? Saw him in Sheffield last time round and he's not, to my knowledge, toured Hombre Loco.

Nothing planned at the moment according to the official website. I just has a quick look after Chrissie's info on the new album and I see there's a free download of five tracks called The MySpace Transmissions; four Eels tracks and a cover of Girl From The North Country.

that's excellent. I was after the vinyl which has an extra track, but it was fifteen quid in Piccadilly at the weekend and the Roses vinyl was more tempting for a few quid more.

One week left until the release of the new Eels disc, End Times...everything I've heard from it so far is quality. Cannot wait! Wooohooo!

Mine's on order (the deluxe 2 disc version) which should arrive on the day of release. I agree Chrissie. The stuff I've heard so far is brilliant.

I have to admit to struggling with Hombre Lobo a bit but recently I've got my head around it. It's a good album, although not a classic by any means.
