Haven't heard anything yet, but i'll get it as well. Elliott Smith is great.

You can find the first song online pretty easily.

Awesome! I'll take a look. :D

Happy Birthday Elliott... :(

from a basement on a hill - elliott smith

 

this is the best album of 2004. im not sure with his disco but its the most moving peice of music he has wrote.

hardly

it's actually basement on THE hill... nitpicking, I know.

 

I've only listened to it twice so far, (#3 is happening as we speak), but my initial impression is that far from being the best of 2004 (that would be Brian Wilson's Smile, in my opinion), it's actually his least consistant solo album. It sounds, well, unfinished, which is exactly what it is. However close it was to being completed when he died, it lacks the cohesiveness of the rest of his work. That's my opinion right now, anyway.

 

There are moments of brilliance, to be sure. :D

(that would be Brian Wilson's Smile, in my opinion)

have you heard "Little Pad"

it's not off Smile but it's a great tune

hmmm... I made a thread about Elliott and no one cared.

Tommorrow is the one year anniversary RIP :cry:

:(

My favourite song by him is Twilight

I need to get this CD and see for myself

Memory Lane :)

top album, third listen so far :)

BUMP!

elliott smith, i wish i had realized your talents when you were still alive.

the man is amazing.

don't complicate my peace of mind...

Yeah, he's incredible.

It is coming up to 2 years since his apparent suicide. Demos from basement on the hill have leaked recently. It is so good to hear new stuff from this very talented musician.

Coincidentally I've been listening to him the last 2 days. I forgot how great his music is.

 

But don't listen to him walking home in the rain at night after breaking up with your girlfriend. Man I sure do pick depressing music at the best of times...

Ah...*Justine*...you beat me to it. I was going to make a thread as a tribute to Elliott Smith tomorrow. This guy is amazing. :stunned:

If not the biggest fan, I'm up there, way up high.

 

BTW...Basement on the Hill demos have been out since waaay back when- shortly after he passed on.

 

Anyway. It's pretty pretty heart wrenching when such a great musical artist dies, and more so when they are at their peak of greatness.

A few weeks ago i finished a t-shirt in tribute to him. It was stitched with love and made with Elliott Smith albums playing in the background. I'm gonna wear it tomorrow (oct. 21st is when he passed away). That's life i guess.

Well, I am sure the demos were around since before he passed away, but the point is they hadn't leaked until now, at least that is the story on mtv.

 

Here is a link where I got my mp3s from:

meh :sleep:

 

maybe yes, maybe no. I lean towards no because I got those songs about a half a year after his death.
