2. I had it in my hands today at the store................

...........but put it back.

I'm trying to purchase more World Music. Am I missing out?

Aren't the Eels kinda power poppish?

[RevolutionStartsNow]

3. Yes, buy it!

Hard to categorize, but it's like Beck+Kinks+Wilco. Sort of. I love it.

7. Yep.

My oldest son is a big fan. He's taking me to see them next month. And he gifted me with "Daisies of the Galaxy" a couple of years ago. I don't know what genre you'd label them with; and they constantly evolve. They have an interesting yin/yang thing going with the dark lyrics and frothy sound. And the despair/hope message in the lyrics. Some favorites from "Galaxy:"

Wooden Nickles
Sound of Fear
Mr. E's Beautiful Blues
