Novocaine for the Soul, from their debut album "Beautiful Freak," was a break out hit for the Eels. It proved to be more of a curse than a blessing for the always enigmatic and sensitive Mr. E. Somehow, this melancholy ode became some sort of a douche-bag anthem during the summer of '96. Frat boys descended upon the Eels like white on... well, frat boys. Odd cause it's quite a good tune. Anyway, on this here e.p. you have the aforementioned hit Novocaine for the Soul , Guest List (a touching diddy, also on the proper album), a live version of My Beloved Monster and the previously unreleased Fucker. I know Fucker would be released on at least one live album, but here it is in proper studio form. Or maybe the live version is proper form. Whatever. I hate you.
