Hot indie band the Eels are giving away a four-track live EP online until Oct. 28. To hear clips of the band's music, check out their Myspace page.

An interesting aside about this band: Lead singer and songwriter Mark Oliver Everett was also the topic of the documentary "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives," which looks at his relationship with his father, the late quantum physicist Hugh Everett III, who developed the theory of parallel universes. This aired on PBS last night, but hopefully will repeat. It also aired months ago in the UK, and was a very interesting look at not only the father-son relationship between these two men, but also the theory of parallel universes itself. It seems Mark never fully understood his father's theory (how many do?), and the documentary is a journey through his discovery of what the theory was about as well as what his father was about, too. Read more about Mark here.

Mark's autobiography, "Things the Grandchildren Should Know," hit stores earlier this month in the States. It's been out since January in the UK. Should make for interesting reading.
