I’m looking for the Eels album title that includes on it the song about Mark Everett’s father. Anyone know which album it is on, or at least the song title? Thanks

E, what a great film! I was gutted when I missed it airing on Tv, and remarked upon this to a friend shortly before going to see you play at Sheffield City Hall. How lucky was I that you ran the film as your support act, and not only was it great, but the gig was utterly brilliant. Please pass on my regards to Chet, I hope his hair has settled down!

I really obtained my own “parallel” experience from watching this documentary:

I was informed and fascinated on one hand . . .

whereby alongside that,

I was also moved to tears at times, over the beautiful humanity that came across in the humble manner in which you undertook your journery.

I hope you found what you were looking for (it looks like you did).

You obviously can be very proud of your father, and you should be proud of yourself.

Thank you.

ME I THINK IT IS GREAT WHAT YOUR DOING, FOR YOUR FATHER. I AGREE THAT HE WAS DEEPLY SEPERATED FROM YOU. I REMEMBER YOUR RELATIONSHIP W/ HIM. HOPE ALL IS WELL. KEEP IN TOUCH. SS

The documentary was quite interesting. I’m even more curious now about Hugh Everett’s theories. The use of E’s music (the Eels) and clips of him performing live throughout was also very good.
