Nineties Revisited: Last Stop This Town


Original video located here. Accessed 8th August 2014

Song title: Last Stop This Town

Artist: The Eels

Year: 1998

Why I like this song:

So I got a hold of the Eels album Electroshock Blues. 
This was an album I've been meaning to get for years but it is only now that I got off my slack arse and got it. 
I will say this: Electroshock Blues isn't an easy album to listen to as it deals with death and the grieving process - it certainly doesn't help considering what was happening with E prior to making the album.  
But I have always believed that the Eels are the type of band that merges depression and goofiness - indeed they wouldn't sound out of place in some Tim Burton nightmare - so this does sound exactly what they're capable of.
