Eels

I am not sure if there are many more prolific songwriters in this world. (nope)

I honestly don't think there is very… (lame)

If you could sit with a couple of people at a dinner party, who would they be? (Seriously!?)

… you know, I sat here trying to write sentences about another one of my favourite songwriters and I could not come up with anything. My reasoning for looking back is simple, there are not a lot of prolific songwriters in the world and Mark Linkous died this week. I felt I had to go back and appreciate everything I love. Mark Oliver Everett is one such artist that I just love.

Go back, way back, and listen to Eels: End Times 

R.I.P. Mark Linkous

It is with great sadness that I read about the passing of one of my favourite songwriters this morning. Mark Linkous was an amazing soul and a brilliant, often genius, songwriter. I never met the man but I certainly got to know him through his music. It's a Wonderful Life is still one of the best albums ever recorded.

The world has lost another great songwriter to unfortunate circumstances. R.I.P. Mark Linkous.
