We writers get a lot of TMTmail. I mean, a LOT. Not from our adoring fans, of course... we've got separate addresses for that. Sorting through all of this email can be rather mind-numbing, and if it's about Amy Fisher's new DJ set, I will probably skip over it. But I swear on my mother's grave that in recent months, about 25% of my Inbox has had subject headers with the word "Eels" in it. "New Eels DVD!" "New Eels DVD + CD!" "New Eels EP!" "New Eels Action Figures!" (Oh wait, that was Peeping Tom). You get the picture. I don't know what they're feeding Eels' publicity firm, but I want some. Something tells me I would find myself no longer needing that trivial resource known as "sleep."
So, while I couldn't tell you exactly when my grandfather's next birthday is (sometime next month), I can DEFINITELY tell you, without a doubt (without a choice, really) Eels will kick off their tour to support a slew of specialty CD + DVD reissues and collections (TMT Review) beginning March 28. Perhaps I will wake up and dance around singing "It's Eels Tour Kickoff Day!" not unlike the plaid-miniskirted Corey in the classic 1995 film, Empire Records, except it won't be quite as exciting as Rex Manning Day. Oh Rexy, you're sooo sexy.
