Unlike some of [[Mark Oliver Everett|Everett]]'s other albums, most notably ''[[Electro-Shock Blues]]'', ''Souljacker'' is mostly based on stories of outsiders rather than on Everett's own life. Characters were inspired from various sources, including circus freaks ("Dog Faced Boy") and a recording engineer with an abusive past ("Bus Stop Boxer"). German director [[Wim Wenders]] called "Woman Driving, Man Sleeping" his favorite Eels song and he used it in the segment he directed for [[Ten Minutes Older]]. Wenders directed the video for the album's lead (and only) single, "Souljacker part I", which was released in the UK on [[10 September]][[2001]] and reached #30 in the [[UK Singles Chart|singles chart]]. The second track on the album, "That's Not Really Funny", was used as the theme tune to all three series of the [[BBC]]'s animated comedy, ''[[Monkey Dust]]'' (2003-2005). 'World Of Shit' was also used to soundtrack a one-off sketch on an episode in the second series. ==Track listing== #"Dog Faced Boy" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 3:17 #"That's Not Really Funny" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 3:19 #"Fresh Feeling" <small>(Mark Everett/Kelly Logsdon)</small> – 3:37 #"Woman Driving, Man Sleeping" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 3:30 #"[[Souljacker part I]]" <small>(Mark Everett/Butch Norton/Adam Siegel)</small> – 3:15 #"Friendly Ghost" <small>(Mark Everett)</small> – 3:22 #"Teenage Witch" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 4:44 #"Bus Stop Boxer" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 3:42 #"Jungle Telegraph" <small>(Mark Everett)</small> – 3:39 #"World of Shit" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 3:29 #"Souljacker part II" <small>(Mark Everett)</small> – 1:58 #"What Is This Note?" <small>(Mark Everett/John Parish)</small> – 2:28 ===Bonus discs=== ====UK edition: ''22 Miles of Hard Road''==== #"I Write The B-Sides" – 3:55 #"Hidden Track" – 4:25 #"Jehovah's Witness" – 3:39 #"Mr. E's Beautiful Remix (Butch 'n' Joey Remix)" – 3:53 ====US edition: ''Rotten World Blues EP''==== #"I Write The B-Sides" – 3:55 #"Hidden Track" – 4:25 #"Jehovah's Witness" – 3:39 #"Rotten World Blues" – 2:44 ==External links== *{{MusicBrainz album|id=a4451421-df15-447c-a7d9-fd6ce2deb6b3|name =Souljacker}} *{{MusicBrainz album|id=09ed2782-1d40-475b-95d3-d2faa23fe739|name =22 Miles of Hard Road}} *{{MusicBrainz album|id=5e3ab145-6078-49f8-b999-54b42e7c5729|name =Rotten World Blues EP}} {{Eels}} [[Category:2001 albums]] [[Category:Eels albums]] [[Category:DreamWorks Records albums]] [[fr:Souljacker]] [[sv:Souljacker]]
