This is probably more accurate than that “Be fruitful and multiply” nonsense. Hopefully this will balance out both the primitivist Christian rock and the syrupy sweet balladry of Roy Wood from yesterday. I’m not always in the mood for the Electric Eels, but after a whole pot of coffee and reading a couple of dozen news stories, oh yeah…
Here’s the obligatory Perfect Sound Forever article and even better the Head Heritage one, by Julian Cope full of shamanic madness.
Electric Eels “Agitated” This is one of those primal songs that must have been floated in the ether outside of time and space until 1971. It expresses an emotion so simply, so brutally, that it could be one of those freaky blobby people of a primary color and a weird hat, “Mr. Agitated” that little kids read storybooks about.
Electric Eels “Jaguar Ride” Despite all of their thuggish misanthropy, sometimes it comes to a relatively innocent, if primal, teenage anthem.
Electric Eels “You’re Full of Shit” This one is just thrown in to dedicate to Bill concerning our discussion over the percentage of foreign nationals in the Iraqi insurgency. ha ha ha! Bullshit! Bullshit!
