if you haven't listened,

good song

better song
^ that's alameda, its live i cant for the life of me find the real version, anywhere, so you'll just have to buy it

i like elliot smith

they sound pretty cool!

Love him.

I love him too-.--- he's amazing . ..
*still alive inside me*

yes!! but i like elliott more, not that they're really connected or anything but whatever

I used to listen to him a lot but now it's like I've listened to it too much... I'm kind of sick when I heard its soft voice

Elliot smith is quite good, i got another one of his albums the other day, figure 8, its a shame he is dead.

haha. elliott smith reminds me of my ex boyfriend of three weeks.

sorry, completely random.



carry on.

HAHAHHA.

you like elliott smith.

okay that was just really weird for some reason.

i've been listening to a lot of Either/Or lately ... =/

that's the only one I have.
I've unchecked every song and now refuse to listen to it.

heh

i have it unchecked in itunes as well. but that's more to do with the fact that my shitty ipod can only hold so much music and elliott just doesn't make the list.

poor elliott is sad for that.
sad as a zombie can be.


zombie who gives people bad memories.

i don't really have one particular artist that reminds me of a time i'd rather forget. well there's simple plan, but that's more of a "i can't believe i listened to this garbage in 6th or 7th grade" memory.

re-ha-ha-heally? every song I can remember the name of I can place a memory with, good or bad, one or many.

weird.

simple plan, though? I thought GC were BAMF

yeah, certain songs, but not one special artist that i associate with one certain time. i mean i have albums i always listen to if i'm having a bad day. and bands that remind me of shtuff. but i can't think off the top of my head of a band that = baddddd to me.

you're making me think too much.

welcome to my life.
except i unconciously think.
except I never do anything unconciously.
except breathe.



some music is just bad to me in a moment because the person who intoduced me to it is on my bad list.

what usually happens to me is i find out a person i severely dislike has the same favorite band as me, which results in me having trouble enjoying the music much.
well actually that's only happened 2 or 3 times. i guess i need to get more enemies

oh come on, be like me, secretly hate 89% of the people you know.

oh i do. but they just don't know it. so they don't hate me back. or they also hide it.

oh yeah ... byez. my mother wants to convince herself that she can control me once school starts, so it looks like the computer's done for tonight.

oh same.
I love fucking with people.
which actually brings me back to elliott smith.

okay wow this is going too full circle for me,
im going to finish packing and go to bed.
see you on monday.

lovelovelove.

bump.

Figured I would bring this back to life for the sake of things...
4 years ago today Elliot died, but his impact is still felt around the music world.
What do we all think/remember?

i think...around 1pm today i'm going to get upset.

you would think more people would post in here.
I couldn't stand the Jonas Brothers and Avril being higher than Elliot, so I'm reviving it for his sake...

not exactly alotta ppl into him here.
truely one of our best songwriters of like the past two decades.

hm and some songs to checkout for anyone who hasn't heard his stuff:

Say Yes: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9hsEyhQ2MY8
Let's Get Lost: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nnl2tnpFvok
Pretty (Ugly Before): http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZGw55GMRqBk
Needle in the Hay: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_e-OWVDoq10
Everything Reminds Me of Her: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GZ0Pvslqb_Y
I Didn't Understand: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lKUlfaxlYJQ

Needle in the Hay=amazing.

The video of him at the Oscars is seriously one of the most awkward things ever caught on film... Trisha Yearwood, little Elliott in his white suit, and then BOOM Celine Dion! And then they all bow at the end...

elliott smith makes me feel so melancholy. I love him. He makes beautiful music.

i recently picked up Figure 8 on vinyl and I can't stop listening to it. i absolutely am madly in love with "In the Lost and Found (Honk Bach)" After getting either/or after a tip from a friend, i was hooked and downloaded all of his albums.

he was also in a band called heatmiser that's pretty good as well.

ya should also look into his b-sides and unreleased stuff!
here's a few of 'em:

True Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4x0RKasggg
Everything's Okay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF9MUnkIlQc


the rest can be found and dled on here:

^^ thanks for the tip! I'll download 'em now.

Also, I suggest you go out and buy (or download) his second posthumous album, New Moon. It's a beautiful two-disk collection and some of my favorite songs come from there: an early version of Miss Misery, Angel in the Snow, Thirteen (probably my favorite Elliott Smith song), Georgia, Georgia, See You Later, the list goes on. Definitely worth my 17 bucks.

I downloaded new moon, and it is a great album. I agree full heartedly.

such a shame that he's gone.

Figure 8. that album took awhile to grow on me. In the Lost and Found (Honk Bach) just recently clicked with me. same with Stupidity Tries. so, the album is more while now. which is awesome since aside from 5 other songs I'm not too crazy 'bout the rest of the album.
Heatmiser are pretty alrite. definitely always great to hear more from Elliott.




The same goes for this collection to about hearin' more Elliott! it has some pretty great songs. a good amount of it is meh but that's to be expected considering they're unused songs. Talking to Mary, High Times and Going Nowhere though... great stuff! the acoustic version of the two heatmiser songs are also neat 'specially Half Right!



it's a tragedy!


you're gonna have to now look into some of his bootlegs if you're still fiendin' for more stuff.
it's pretty neat to hear some of the songs done unplugged. this comes to mind:
I Didn't Understand & Miss Misery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPCvPSIHCmY

I've downloaded all his stuff now, and I can't help but still feel gravitated towards either/or, which was the first album i heard from him. I also like XO a lot. I don't know. He's just so complex. When I first was getting into his music I had no idea he was gone, and when I was looking him up online I saw the news stories about him and all of his music got sudden higher meaning to me.

weird.

on a side note ^^^ where in socal are you from?

aha. I bet you have. hm. that reminds me. I still gotta checkout Roman Candle. The only album of his I've yet heard. For awhile XO I thought was his best. Now, I think it's From the Basement on the Hill. boy and that's one album that totally grew on me!!
I think I had knew he was dead right before hearin' his stuff..or least shortly after. I had been acquainted with him with the use of Needle in the Hay on The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack which was genius.


I reside in the San Gabriel Valley which is apparently part of LA county.

In the Lost and Found (live):


came across this the other nite. for me it was like a find! I woulda never known this woulda been performed live!!! Just about as magical live as well!
man. I dunno what is 'bout this song but conjures up a very sunny and deep blue ocean feeling even though it's not really a happy song!
I love how the stage lighting is all blue too. perfect setting!

Stupidity Tries:

boy. this is a great performance of the song. Another song I can't get enough of! So relatable!
Man and you'd expect Elliott to be more popular than he is 'specially playin' this on Letterman.. and a song besides his only popular song, Miss Misery too!

ooh well. he's our lil secret.

on the "In the Lost and Found" video, Elliott looks so bored.

It's better that's he's a hidden gem.

those were cool videos, thanks for sharing.

i love Elliott Smith his music is mellow man.
it's just so beautiful
i fell in love with his song The Biggest Lie but now my favorite song of his is Coming Up Roses.
it's a shame that he's dead
he will always live inside of me

that's what's soo great 'bout his music. it's relaxing and a good amount of his stuff aren't too noticeably sad unless ya actually pay attention to the lyrics.


great song!
man. one of his songs that get me to me.

I've just heard about him yesterday; but I truly love what I've heard.

hm. that came to mind to posts on here!
mhmm. I'm pretty proud of that pic and how it ended up comin' out.

gah. dumb good ol' Elliott always there for my slanty face, chopped liver moments.


makes me wanna just go out and getta cold one.. numb feeling of just wantin' to get away from stupid reality..

ahh. man.. love his stuff:

lovely performance!
"why should you want any other when you're a world within a world"
*sigh*

it's been five years since he passed. such a sad sad shame.

RIP Elliott

sad indeed.
Me and my friend are gonna hit up the Figure 8 wall tonite and drink while listenin' to his stuff as well.

hm. this came to mind:

this guy played right in front of the wall 2 years ago from this date too. appropriate song if ya asks me.

^ kick ass video.

I need to find the wall. I wish I could go there tonight. Light a candle. Sway to music.

aha. yeah. we brought a stupid 211.. aka as Steel Reserve and we're SUPPOSED to leave it on the stupid Johnny Walker imprint on the wall but nooooooooo someone had to see that as a loss. fockin' cunt!
anyway, sooo awesome I made it! woot!


ahh "don'tt let me get carried awayy, don'tt let me get carried awayy"
