Way back in November 2007, we reported on the forthcoming Eels best-of and b-sides compilations that will still arrive on the 21st of January. There were also a string of dates in February – click here for details of all that; but know now that band leader Mark Oliver Everett is releasing a book before then and he’s tying it in with a special performance in London.

Things the Grandchildren Should Know will be available from the 17th of January and a show that night at St James Church in Piccadilly has been planned to coincide.
