It’s extreme potato quality but I’m always happy to see this still exists
One night in November, EELS played a blistering set in Munich, Germany, as part of their 2001 Bus Driving, Band Rocking Tour. Even though it was one of the best nights of the tour, one irate concertgoer was upset that “Novocaine For The Soul” was not included in the set, going so far as confronting E after the show. Naturally E told him to fuck off and think of something more original to worry about.
The next day, in Vienna, Austria, Afroman - the guy who sings “Because I Got High,” was staying at the same hotel as EELS. E, aware that the people wanted a big hit song, but still not in the mood to play “Novocaine,” asked Afroman if he would like to come down and sing his current hit song at the EELS concert that night. Luckily Afro was plastered and said yes.
One of Afroman’s “posse” happened to be filming the event with a camcorder, and so you too can enjoy the head-scratching fun of being told that you’re about to hear a hit song at an EELS concert, and then be treated to the band learning their way through the latest Afroman hit, with the man himself leading the way. Let’s just say that not everyone in the band had even heard the song before.
