Useless Trinkets: B Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased 1996-2007 [PA] (CD - 2008)

Eels fans have reason to jump up and down with the release of USELESS TRINCKETS, a three-disc box set that includes B-sides, soundtrack cuts, rarities and unreleased songs from between 1996-2006. Those who know bandleader E.'s singing and songwriting, and his band's cathartic, alt-rock sound will already have plenty to look forward to, but it's the wealth of surprises on USELESS TRINCKETS that makes it worthwhile.

Amid the live tracks (there are a handful culled from BBC sessions) are movie soundtrack pieces (from THE END OF VIOLENCE and LEVITY, among others) and wonderful covers, including James Carr's "The Dark End of the Street," Prince's "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and Daniel Johnston's "Living Life." The third disc is a DVD that features live performances from the band's 2006 Lollapalooza appearance.
