"E" from Eels discusses Perry on NPR

He talks about Perry for a couple of minutes around the 19 minute mark. This is the NPR interview that supposedly upset Perry on the eve of the L.A. performance at the Orpheum theater. Also, he performs Eels music live with just him and his guitar. I can sort of see what Perry likes. The man is definitely a thoughtful lyricist. I think Perry should record a lot of their music, and it would be a great combination.
