In 1995, Nine Inch Nails were one of the biggest bands in the world and The Downward Spiral had catapulted them to all new levels of rock stardom. Elliott Smith, however, was still 3 years away from his Oscar-nominated breakthrough “Miss Misery.”...

His lyrics, sentiments and musical composition on his album, Either/Or, have won me over. The appeal is the simplicity in his style of music and the realism in his lyrics. Too, I am huge on acoustics and this particular album is high on that vibe. I need MORE MORE MORE.Though I am aware that he has passed on, I appreciate him leaving his music for us to discover and appreciate. I wish I had kno...

When the life of an artist or a band is cut tragically short, the greatest hits album or the b-sides compilation release is almost inevitable. Elliott Smith was a prolific songwriter and recorder, with scores of tracks that never found their way onto any of his classic albums. For years, much of this material circulated in bootleg-form in various corners of the internets, helping to build a q...

Alright, alright - Elliott Smith did a cover on Metric's 'Between The Bars' right? and then Madeleine Peyroux covered it as well. right? I'm totally confused. I don't know who did it first - please help! I personally like Elliott Smith's and Madeleine Peyroux's version the most. But I really just like the song, so any version of it is fine with me.

There he was standing in front of a world wide audience. Performing one of his signature songs because for a split second the entertainment industry recognized that he was something special. Of course he didnt win but his song "Miss Misery" was infinetely better than anything that the Canadian chest thumper, that did win, has ever done. His name was Elliott Smith and he was an amazing singer/so...

I mean no one comes on this site without knowing my love for Elliott Smith. I mean the only one that’s got me beat is Kev but he doesn’t count cause he followed him around France once.. (stalker!)Anyway, one of my big (musical) regrets in life was the day I gave up an Elliott Smith ticket for what would be his last NYC appearance cause I was “lazy.” Oh well. I won’t miss out on something li...

Elliott Smith "Between The Bars" (mp3) from "Either/Or" (Kill Rock Stars) Popularized by the film Good Will Hunting, Between The Bars is one of my favorite Elliot Smith songs. His beautiful melodies and lyrics probably made him one of the most talented songwriters of our time. A song featuring his signature solo acoustic guitar and double tracked vocals, this song's lyrics can be interp...

Yesterday, on the way to Venice, before hearing our Venice mix, we listened to XO by Elliott Smith. No one's a bigger Elliott fan than Michelle. She actually saw Smith live twice, that's right TWICE. And has, a now disintegrating, Figure 8 decal on our car from the last show she saw him perform in concert.I love having discussions about music with Michelle about music. Yesterday in the car whil...
