Episode 87 - Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E (Eels, The Boo Boos)

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we have Mark Oliver Everett on the show, better known as E from the band Eels. From Beautiful Freak to Electro-Shock Blues and beyond, E has built one of the most distinctive catalogs in modern rock. Now, with his new project The Boo Boos, he’s exploring a whole new sound and creative direction. The other half of The Boo Boos, Kate Mattison, joins us as well to talk about how the new project came together.
