E
ESL Music (promo)
A so-so compilation featuring the best of Spanish electronic music. Thievery Corporation and Blue States up the anti, but I'm not sure how much I'll really listen to this. 
Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Celebrate Your Mother" (UK promo)
Even if you don't like their style, you've got to admire the guts it takes to sing an incestual (literal) mother fucking song with a straight face.
Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Horse of the Dog" (UK promo)
The whole album is 32. Each song is blistering, vital, and not a second to spare. I've already spouted the wonders of 'Celebrate Your Mother', but 'Chicken', 'Fishfingers', and 'Morning Has Broken' will become classics in their own right, as well.
Elastica "Mad Dog" (promo)
I'm not very fond of their new album or their "new sound" but I like this single enough. quite upbeat and fun.
Elbow "Any Day Now" (UK import)
Friends absolutely love them, but I've never fallen head over heels for them, though I do enjoy and appreciate their craft. Especially 'George Lassoes the Moon'.
Electrelane "I Want to Be the President EP" (UK import)
I heard them on the radio and thought they were Broadcast. There are much worse things to be. The title track to this 3 track EP (hrm.) is the highlight, but for a pound, it's all good value for money.
Electroclash mix by Miss Kittin (UK import)
Quite possibly the best "free cd that came with magazine" ever. I'm electroclash's biggest fan to begin with, and Miss Kittin is such a foxy lady, I'm weak without even hearing it. But it's bliss, with rare mixes, impromptu backup singing by hers truly, and stayed in my stereo for weeks. A true cd for any mood.
Embrace "All You Good Good People" (promo)
The free cd that came with the album. I couldn't resist having the extra b-sides.
Embrace "The Good Will Out"
bought on reccommendation and raving from Josh, but I was also persuaded by the free single that came with. =) I love All You Good Good People and Come Back to What You Know. and hopefully we'll see these guys on tour in a few months...
End of August 2001 compilation (homemade)
I had too many good songs to play on air and I needed them on a cd to do so (no mp3 capabilities in the studio yet!). This is my way of getting lots of unreleased music to the people. word. HM
Esthero "Breath From Another" (Canadian Import)
Recomended by the Portishead list. very good stuff, a cross between Portishead and Bjork, I reckon, with a little rap thrown in.
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Chicken" (UK promo EP)
Another solid rawk offering from the Disaster, and with consistently great b-sides (though the song "Turkish Delights of The Devil" was a bit disappointing after that title!). Artwork from the guy (not Guy) behind Emily The Strange only sweetens the deal.
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Psychosis Safari" cd1 (UK promo)
Eighties Matchbox are incapable of producing throwaway songs, even as b-sides. Frankly, cd1 is worth it even just for the Edgar Wright-directed video. Just be sure to keep those 3D glasses at hand...
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Psychosis Safari" cd2 (UK promo)
Cd2 finds the same quality of b-sides as the first, including a live version of the legendary 'Celebrate Your Mother' and yet another Casey Chaos-produced track. Evil!
easyworld "Better Ways to Self Destruct" (UK import)
Although tantilisingly missing the title track, this was one of my more triumphant bargain basement finds. Reminds me why I loved them all over again, and it makes me feel fuzzy that they're getting attention.
easyworld "The Second Amendment" UK promo)
I loved easyworld. I sought out their first Fierce Panda EP, I've seen them live and screamed like a girl, and I thought this would mark a turning point in their maturity. But while the A-side is aimiable enough, the b-sides (and unfortunately, the rest of the album) just slide into heartfelt obscurity. Here's hoping they haven't grown up *too* soon.
easyworld "Try Not To Think" (UK import)
I only discovered them after they opened for the Bluetones, but their sounds deserves attention on its own. This isn't even the best track of theirs, yet it stands on its own two feet and then some. Look for these guys to be big.
eels "Electro-shock Blues" (promo)
oddly enough, I got the little promo storybook before I got the album, which I got a very good deal on. I loved the video for "Last Stop: This Town", and the rest is very good. very different, but very cool, which is saying alot, since I didn't like their first album.
after all, "Voices tell me I'm the shit."
eels "Lamacq Live" (homemade unreleased)
I had taped this broadcast off of Radio One when I lived in England, and a friend loved eels so much he borrowed my tape and made a cd copy for me and himself. A classic LL, E thinks no one is listening and proceeds to talk down Steve Lamacq until Steve booms like the voice of God, "Yeeeeesss, E?". :D
eels "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues" (UK promo)
Since I didn't have the album, and this song is a hidden track if I did buy it, I bought this so I could play it on the radio. "Goddamn right..."
