Eels' Mark Oliver Everett Shares 10 Facts About His Beard

There is no disputing the fact that Mark Oliver Everett, aka E from Eels, has a pretty sweet beard. Ever since he revealed that was the inspiration behind his werewolf-themed album, 'Hombre Lobo,' E's impressive facial mane has become quite the topic of conversation. Rather than let the internet masses start false rumors about it, E sent Spinner a list entitled '10 Things You Didn't Know About the Eels singer's Beard.' Read on and get the full story of his wonderful whiskers.

1. It's real.

2. He sleeps with it outside the covers, not inside, as previously believed via internet rumors.

3. It's as soft as a baby's beard.

4. There are six depictions of it in the packaging of the highly acclaimed and excellent new Eels 'Hombre Lobo' CD.

5. Occasionally it is accidentally zipped into his jacket, which is painful.

6. It has not caught fire while lighting a cigar (as of this writing).

7. Padma Lakshmi panicked when she couldn't find the ends of her fingers in it during the shooting of the 'That Look You Give That Guy' video.

8. It's at its best on high humidity days.

9. He uses a bathing cap draped over his ears to cover it when he doesn't want to get it wet.

10. Contrary to popular belief, it drives the ladies wild.

E - I`d like to hear a song about your beard...what d`ya think?

Maybe it could go something like this;

My beard is a little wierd I guess
But the Italian ladies couldnt care less,
Facial hair is my current trademark,
Bobby loves it so much it makes him bark....

Let it grow for another year or 2, and E could enter The Guinness Book Of Records

I know for a fact that Butch ( E's drummer) is hiding in Mark's beard!
So is "The Chad", and all "The Eels" master tape's.
