any big elliott smith fans here? i absolutely adore XO and From A Basement On A Hill (to a lesser extent). I've always had the other 3 albums but never quite got into them as much as XO. Also, does anyone have any bootlegs of his concerts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was once told to that i should hear some of his stuff. i shall go do that now... |

XO GET MOTHERFUCKIN XO only 1 bad track on there. it's amaaaaaazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i'll report back on my findings. including the track title of this 1 bad track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sticks out like a sore thumb, compared to the feeling and vibe of the rest of the album. pisses me off. |
||||||||
|

|
|
he's dead. good music though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is dead and it looks like his bitch of a girlfriend stabbed him, as opposed to it being suicide. the whore. i remember the day he died, i listened to XO five times after getting home from school. :(:(:(:( |

|
|
what proves it to be his girlfried that killed him? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because she's a woman? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the self titled album is a good one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

can't argue w/reason! |

such a naughy naughty girl! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watch out, she'll cut you man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a lot of evidence against her, not least the fact that it'd be almost impossible to bring yourself to commit suicide by stabbing yourself in the chest --- with one clean stab, no first-attempts |
||||||||

|
|
"not least the fact that it'd be almost impossible to bring yourself to commit suicide by stabbing yourself in the chest" and you would know this how? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from common sense, man. think about it, puncturing the breastplate and cutting deep enough to kill one's self: it'd take a hell of a lot of force and absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. the last part of my sentence "with one clean stab" was also very important. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, in that case i don't see how a girl could do it either..unless she's a big one :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how sexist. |
||||||||
|

I love his acoustic work - "roman candle" and the self-titled one. I don't like the real 'band' ones. I didn't like what I heard of the last cd-set - the electronica doesn't seem to work very well, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone need to bring that bitch down... some sort of lynching preferably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a huge fan. Yes I think the sparser the better for him though, his overly produced stuff loses some of the intimacy hes good at, i think. I have to say XO is good but suffers from the overproduction a bit... Either/Or is his pinacle, its so hushed and lofi. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I love Elliott Smith...to bad he died |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's one of my favourite artists, along with jeff buckley. i haven't given too much attention to his last album but either/or is my favourite (so far, at least). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm very much enjoying xo :) particularly 'tomorrow tomorrow', reminds me a bit of the beach boys. only half way through so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Roman candle kicks arse. all the soothingness and tape hiss and extraneous noise tops his overdone stuff by far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is z? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a letter of the alphabet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My brother loves him, I haven't given him a listen yet, will do. |
||||||||

|||||||||

out of interest, what's the track you see as the bad track on XO? my personal favourites are pitseleh and waltz #1, and, of course, i didn't understand. i really like bled white as well, with it's lennonish piano thru a leslie speaker :) i'm unsure which track doesnt fit the album, they all sound great to me. somtimes i think amity is a bit heavy handed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ey oop! *bump* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ey-up! yes, Amity. comes crashing in, destroys my ears and the whole feeling of the album. totally out-of-place imo. "I didn't understand" is certainly one of my favourites, if not my favourite track on the album. Beautiful lyrics and harmonies..... perrrrrfect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interestinly, amity was one of the two songs to be recorded at a different studio from the rest of the album (the other song was baby britain). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
XO is brilliant he was a awsome musician some great songs such as needle in the hay, waltz #2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those two songs sound much louder to me.. i figured it was just my mp3s, but.. there ya go. i'm not just talking about the fact that there's distorted guitars and all, just the actual volume of the tracks in comparison with the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
down to poor pre-mastering then. got any vids of him playing? i still can't match his face with his voice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got a couple Smith albums on CD, and it's wonderful stuff... I am into melody and well written songs and harmonies as much as any IDM stuff. Shame he died. I'm interested in knowing what his pre-Either/Or albums sound like. Also, I want to get Figure 8 next probably. Is that as great as XO? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Erm, there were some vids of him playing live either on his official site or "Sweet Adeline". They're in quicktime format. I downloaded a couple, if you can't find em i'll stick em on the ipod tonight and send tomorrow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"sorry! at this time the videos are not available for download. ran out of bandwidth for the month. hope to have them back up next month or the near future." poo *looks elsewhere* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll hook ya up tomorrow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers :) just found a vid of Elliott Smith doing waltz #2 on later with jools holland, via soulseek :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, deadly. you can yousendthat to me if you would :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
will do, when it finally downloads :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that video was awful, such low quality video+audio. i couldn't even watch more than a minute of it... *deletes* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He was rock solid, still haven't heard the Basement.etc album though. Something about posthumous releases creeps me out and repels me. I juth don't wanna. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has some great, great songs on it. but you can tell by the production that they didn't let elliott's spirit help. |
