Elliott Smith...

myxomatosis · 09-28-2006, 11:43 PM

Where in the fuck is the love for this wonderful wonderful man and his great music?

(Sorry, I'm a bit drunk and watching video of a performance of his.)

marinol-girl · 09-28-2006, 11:45 PM

I love him. he was a great singer/songwriter.
some of his musics prty depressing but its all chill.
his cd from a basement on a hill is 2 thumbs up.

myxomatosis · 09-28-2006, 11:55 PM

Agreed. Highly agreed.

gonna be lookin for this tomorow now.

i love new muzik

Brand New Shoe · 09-29-2006, 12:37 AM

either/or and XO are my favorite albums of his.

Staffros · 09-29-2006, 07:09 AM

Emo as fuck, but great nonetheless.

myxomatosis · 09-29-2006, 10:37 AM

Uh, assuming we're using emo to mean sad, then yeah, I'd agree.

Either/Or is probably my favorite album, I've got everything he ever put out and never put out, so a couple of my favorite songs are non-album songs.

There's apparently a "new" album coming out sometime in 07, no one knows any details but apparently his family let it out that something will be coming out. I'm hoping it's the stuff that was meant to be on his last album that they didn't release and hasn't leaked.

i feel elliot smith has the softest, most intimate voice...like honey to my ears

a gloomy fellow...but such a sweet sound

Even I have to admit I love Elliot Smith. This is not usually the type of music that appeals to me, but it's just too fucking good to ignore.

torcido · 09-29-2006, 12:42 PM

I would not appreciate music the way I do now if I'd never heard Elliott Smith. 'Alphabet Town' makes my heart explode. Highly recommend this song.

Good tunes for drinking alone..

Brand New Shoe · 09-29-2006, 03:40 PM

The dude stabed himself in the heart, how can you not respect that!?

surf*and*smoke · 09-29-2006, 04:02 PM

ive got a few of his songs laying around

anyone recomend a cd for me to check out?

Brand New Shoe · 09-29-2006, 04:18 PM

Either/Or

Brand New Shoe · 09-29-2006, 04:39 PM

you guys should also check out one of my favorites

http://www.myspace.com/kevindevine

he's inspired by elliott smith, so you guys might appreciate it.

**Home Wrecker** · 09-29-2006, 07:48 PM

Mad love for E. Smith

sublimerig · 09-30-2006, 09:53 AM

elliott smith is key. get the album figure 8 or the self titled. also check out http://www.trashtreasury.com/ for demos, live shows, ect. good good stuff.

staircase · 09-30-2006, 02:03 PM

Also check out Heatmiser. It was his band prior to him going solo.

ps. I didn't know that it was his heart. I knew he stabbed himself twice but didnt know where.

Brand New Shoe · 09-30-2006, 07:29 PM

yeah, he was hardcore.
although some people think his girlfriend did it cause she "pulled the knife out"

myxomatosis · 09-30-2006, 11:11 PM

Wow, this thread got much more of a response then I assumed.

I'll second the Heatmiser recommendation. Trash Treasury is a very good website, as is elliottsmithbsides.c om.

kendawg77 · 10-01-2006, 11:54 AM

XO, Figure 8, self titled
