I didn't know that existed. I'm not sure that I will go searching it out though.

I'm sure he'd thank you for that. From the Wiki article:

Bad Dude in Love is an album released independently on Joe Mama Records in 1985 by Mark Oliver Everett (credited without his middle name), later to become leader of the band Eels. Five hundred copies were made and most were distributed to friends and for promotion. The album was discovered at large when it was put up for auction on eBay in 2005; it was quickly removed from the site before the auction finished with no explanation.

 

Prior to its emergence on eBay it had been mentioned, in 2000, by musician Chris von Sneidern, who briefly worked with E in 1994. He stated: "The record to get, apparently, is the Mark Everett record, it's called the Mark Everett something... 'Cool Dude' record or something. It's one of those things that if you were to show it to him he'd like flip, he's apparently not comfortable with it." The record is a labor of love that Everett's late father (the physicist Hugh Everett III) had made possible. The album is appropriately dedicated to him.

 

There is no mention of Bad Dude in Love in Everett's 2008 autobiography, Things the Grandchildren Should Know.

Elvis is famously coy about his guitar playing performance on Secret Lemonade Drinker, but this is pretty early. And pretty too.

My favourite from the '93 My Aim is True extras.

Aah, the Flip City cover :) ... or is it credited to them?

On the '93 album, it's credited as a pre-professional recording with Flip City from 74/75.

He looks ill at the Grammys do. Perhaps it's the Stephen Fry school of post-weight loss gauntness.

He was very thin and frail looking when he came over with the Brodskys last year. Mind you, his touring schedule for last year and this year don't suggest any frailty. I'm particularly liking the "projected European Tour"
