"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.

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."
