Nada Surf will drop a five-disc boxed set that puts its entire catalog on vinyl Nov. 25. The set, which is released through Barsuk Records, is limited to 1,000 copies, and also contains a repressing of the band's original 7-inch debut.

Eels Issue Deluxe Blinking Lights Vinyl Box, Free EP
Limited edition box includes 17-track live LP
The CD incarnation of Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, the 2005 double-disc offering from Eels, is a sizeable undertaking for any listener. But things just got a whole lot bigger in darn near every way possible, as Blinking Lights and Other Revelations will hit vinyl for the first time in a massive limited edition 4LP box set that's available for preorder now.
In addition to the original album splayed out over three 180 gram LPs, there's a 17-cut bonus slab of vinyl entitled Manchester 2005 and exclusive to the release. Each of the 2,500 autographed boxes also comes with a hardback book of lyrics and photos, and the whole self-released kit and kaboodle is expected to ship October 28. These puppies are numbered, and being sold in ascending order, so if that sort of thing makes a difference to you, you'll want to act fast.
And if it doesn't, well, you might as well hit up the Eels website and download the four free MP3s from Manchester 2005 they're giving away in conjunction with the release of the box set. Eels are calling it an EP, and so shall we. The EP is available for the price of one email address now through next Tuesday (October 28), and it's the only way other than forking over the dough for the big box that you'll get to hear any of Manchester 2005.
Those Eels have no live dates scheduled at present, though frontman Mark Oliver "E" Everett hits Book Soup in West Hollywood October 28 for a signing of his recently released tome Things The Grandchildren Should Know. And, if you happen to be close to a telly tonight (October 21), hit up PBS and take in an eyeful of Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives. The documentary about E and his father, quantum physicist Hugh Everett III, will appear as part of the "Nova" series. Look at you, all smart and stuff, watching PBS.

The Zappa Family Trust has announced that they will begin a project of commemorating the 40th anniversary of Frank Zappa's albums with the November 25 release of Lumpy Money. The three-CD set will include two separate mixes of the albums Lumpy Gravy and We're Only In It for the Money along with the first official release of Zappa's instrumental "ballet" version of Lumpy Gravy.
A second release with further recordings from the sessions for the two albums will follow along with an individual expanded version of Cruising with Ruben and the Jets, a live album from the Roxy in Los Angeles and Zappa's interpretations of compositions by composer Edgar Varese.
