July 23, 200619 yr Wow, you have problems with everything.... to all their own, even with bitter outcomes. :wink: I WILL you have more problems than anyone else here on this board (at least it looks like when i read your posts) :wink: i still don't understand why should i pay tribute to Elliott on a Coldplay msg board?
July 23, 200619 yr I have all albums now I'm in love. EDIT: I dunno if it's posted already or something but this is Madeleine Peyroux's cover of "Between The Bars" http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=9421EA3766AE031D I think this cover is pretty good too Thanks for this!:)
July 24, 200619 yr i was pretty bored last night in bed i mean i could'nt sleep so i listened to all my elliot smith songs (not alot at all) and i just wow,cant get enough of him all over again.
July 25, 200619 yr Has anyone heard the song "Late" by Ben Folds? It's about Elliot. Under some dirty words on a dirty wall Eating takeout by myself I played the shows Got back in the van and put the Walkman on And you were playing In some other dive a thousand miles away I played a thousand times before And like pathetic stars The truck stops and the rock club walls I always knew You saw them too But you never will again It's too late Don't you know It's been too late For a long time Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar And some dirty basketball The songs you wrote Got me through a lot Just wanna tell you that But it's too late It's too late No, don't you know It's been too late For a long time Oh no Things were looking up Least that's what I heard Oh no Someone came and washed away your hard earned Peace of mind When desperate static beats the silence up A quiet truth to calm you down The songs you wrote Got me through a lot Just wanna tell you that But it's too late It's too late No, don't you know It's been too late For a long time It's too late It's too late No, don't you know It's been too late For a long time
July 25, 200619 yr take a look at the 2nd pic in the 3rd row :nice: Haha I just noticed it. Very nice, though I doubt there're many people here who appreciates or at least knows Elliott Smith. My classmate doesn't even know who The Beatles are :freak:
July 25, 200619 yr ^ lol at him/her just watched a concert video from 2001...gosh it was depressing to see Elliott...he was forgetting the lyrics, chords. the crowd was shouting out the lyrics...he stopped playing several songs, because he couldn't remember them. really depressing video
July 26, 200619 yr random Elliott upload: Miss Misery at the Oscars in 1998 http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=28B704F34B0688ED
July 26, 200619 yr that asounds really depressing that video nik.....i dont suppose many people would like to see that. oo i shall look at that oscar performance.
July 27, 200619 yr I'm sorry if it's been posted already but can somebody please give me some links for his songs?.. I wanna start somewhere but I don't really know which songs are the best to begin. Thanks. Now that you've gotten a good taste, you should start getting the shows. Some of the songs are way different live - I really like Clementine live, over the album version, for example. http://www.trashtreasury.com/html/live-shows.html 98 and 2000 are good years if you're interested in full band shows. oh lordy. i love his music. don't know if this has been discussed, but has anyone heard metric's cover of "between the bars"? that is one my favourite elliott smith songs and their cover is pretty good, i guess. you can hear it here. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10870272/metric_play_strippeddown_set_for_rolling_stone My favorite cover of Between The Bars is the bluegrassy one by the Mutual Admiration Society: http://www.trashtreasury.com/forums/showthread.php?t=375&highlight=admiration

July 27, 200619 yr that miss misery at the oscars is a pretty pretty song' date='and he didnt look too happy to perform it there :confused:[/quote'] He actually looked pretty nervious on the stage. And this suit, so official, a bit akward.
July 27, 200619 yr yes i thought about the suit,such a smart thing to wear,white! I read somewhere that he didnt want to do it but his management made him...something like that.
