Soophie Nun Squad-The Devil, The Metal, the Big Booty Beats. See them live and you will be sold. Wow.

Operation Cliff Clavin- "When All’s Been Said" an "Almost Discography" "Bag Set" from a pretty good punk band. Highlights include "Kick My Ass" (a song about Skinheads), and "How Many Punks Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb"

and some new ‘Zines

Cometbus #48 "Back to the Land

and the Burn Collecter anthology.

Cliff Clavin was the mailman on the late 80’s sit-com Cheers, where everyone knows your name…

Comedy is that my punk band in high school had a song called "Closet Mailman" and we were going to get Cliff Clavin to be in our video when we hit it big

It’s also a nice joke, because the singer’s name is Chris Clavin. Now he’s in a band called "The Devil is Electric."

Did I mention the set has a good cover of "Authority Song," which was written by another famous Bloomington resident? At $8 who can resist! I sound like a fucking commercial!

Congrats on the Pogues and the Waits("Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat,never drive a car when you`re dead"best advice I ever heard )

When I bought these three, I pointed out to the worker that I was suffering from the classic "old or new" struggle between the Pogues and Lightning Bolt. The worker (who looked and acted an awful lot like Dick from High Fidelity) winced at the difficulty of this decision, but then pointed out "I love that CD and DVD. . .everthing you’ve got here is really good though." Golly, a complement from a record store clerk.

Daisies is great, just like the other three (now four) Eels albums. I’ve just finished my first round "shootenanny". It is pretty "earthy" and basic. Lots of speacial breakable Eelssongs and some blues in the Eels style.
The stories he tells are like miniature "day in the life" things. Love, passion, loss etc.
I want to listen to it a couple of times more but I’m afraid E delivered another masterpiece…
