theamaranth Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 so if you people haven't heard of elliott smith... you need to listen to him like now! unfortunately.. he is no longer with us.. he died in 2003.. but his music is really amazing. he has a pretty chill sound.. a lot of acoustic stuff...which is always good. some songs for you to check out: say yes I figured you out everything reminds me of her son of sam (acoustic) these will just get you started... but seriously... give him a chance... you'll like him.

Half Right 3:50 Release Notes: “I kept recording more songs with no regard whether or not they were gonna be on anything. That’s what I’m used to doing, recording all the time and not going, ‘What should I record for this record?’ Usually it’s put out whatever happened in the last six months. With this, I had way too many songs and no mechanism for picking between them.” –Elliott Smith, Tape Op Magazine, 1996, on finishing Either/Or Arguably the most gifted song-writer of his generation, Elliott Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums, as well as From a Basement on the Hill (2004), a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. On May 8, 2007, Kill Rock Stars will release a double CD of music by Elliott Smith entitled New Moon. The album contains 24 songs recorded between 1994-1997, a prolific time in Smith's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and Either/Or (both also released by Kill Rock Stars). Like his other work, New Moon reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics. Only three songs have seen prior release – all on compilations – most extremely limited runs. The final mixing for New Moon was done by Larry Crane, who is also the archivist for the estate of Elliott Smith. A significant portion of proceeds from the album sales will go directly to Outside In, a Portland-based social service organization dedicated to providing diverse services for homeless youth and low-income adults. So who's getting this on May 8th? Me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XslightaddictionX Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Elliott Smith, great artist. Matt Good covered "Between the Bars" it was okay, but not as good as Elliott Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Chris Garneau's is the only tolerable cover of Between The Bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaleyLovesIndie Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 One of my favorite songs of all-time has to be "Between the Bars" by this great man. However, I have to admit that I think Metric's cover pwns Elliott's original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
