đŸŽ” What are you listening to etc

This is the first time I’ve listened to the Eels “Electro-shock blues” album since my mum passed away of cancer - I cant even remember the year anymore. Maybe 2006? I used to love that album but it all became a bit too raw after that. I remember listening to the Flaming Lips album “Soft Bulletin” around that time and feeling really uplifted by it - it helped me.

And that is the end of my story.

Oh that’s really awful mate. I loved the first album, I was a student at the time. Lead singer was the son of a famous physicist I think.

I love you, man x

Bizarrely, i was reading Mark Oliver Everett’s book “Things the grandchildren should know” at the time my mum died
i was reading his experience of his mum dying and I never finished reading that book. I just couldnt face it. I just left the bookmark in it and its now just on the shelf.

I’m so sorry, Ted. I dunno what to say x

Except that you wear it well and you seem like a good human being in the face of that pain, and that’s to your credit.
