Steve Hoffman Music Forums. Location: The Essential Elliott Smith, Pa. Which one do you like more? This is a tough one for me since XO was The Essential Elliott Smith first and backtracked from there. Either Or seems win by a thread today. Thought we would have had him around longer than we did. Some of the best recordings made in that decade for sure! Sean Sandoval likes this. Location: Big Bear Lake, California. I have Figure 8 and XO. I didn't know there was another essential one to get. Location: Maryland. Todd W. DarbyRevolverscotth and 2 others like this. Location: North. All of his albums are essential if you're a fan I wouldnt even consider trying to rank them. Ash76Darbyhazard and The Essential Elliott Smith others like this. My problem, such as it is, with Elliott Smith is that I transferred a bunch of his albums at once The Essential Elliott Smith Rhapsody onto my MP3 player. I usually just go to his name and hit random play. That said, my recollection is that I slightly preferred XO. To be sure, I'll have to play them again, but in the interest of science Joey SelfAug 14, Location: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. But it turned out to be a good mistake. Colin AllstationsAug 14, Location: Atlanta area. ParvatiAug 14, Location: Lowell, MA. That's an easy one for me. I like the stripped down sound of this one, it sounds perfect. XO sounds over-produced to me. Not saying it's a bad album of course, I just don't like it. Location: Sydney. GregorSamsaAug 15, Revolver and Kermit27 like this. Location: Canada. Between these two I'd have to go with XO, it's just simply my favorite record of his all together. But having said that; The Essential Elliott Smith love each and every one of his records in very different ways. GBTGAug 15, Location: Phoenix, AZ. It's more concise, stylistic unified and I like that and consistent. XO is only just a little longer and has just a couple songs that are a bit weaker by Elliott Smith's standards but has more variation along the lines of instrumentation and style more rockers. It's close though, and all of this The Essential Elliott Smith albums are awesome. Location: CA. RalphoAug 15, Location: Adelaide, Australia. SpencerWebbAug 15, Location: Glasgow, UK. Less is more when it comes to his albums. Location: Worcester, MA. Norm ApterAug 15, Location: Riverside, CT. Location: Arlington, VA. Location: CT. JayBAug 15, JayBAug 16, I know this is off topic, but any Elliott Smith fan should visit the Live Music Archive for lossless soundboards, fm broadcasts and some nice audience recordings. All have been uploaded with approval of Elliott's estate. Some really great stuff, although the recordings fromwhere he is really falling apart, are a bit harrowing to listen to. Location: USA.

But by the end of the Figure 8 tour, Smith had developed a heroin habit, and the following years saw a rapid and worrying descent into addiction and desperation: mixing cocktails of drugs, playing wasted and collapsing in toilet cubicles. Not only had we lost one of the finest songwriters of the late 20th century but the nefarious details of his decline threatened to eclipse his music. The five solo albums he completed captured The Essential Elliott Smith angsts and frustrations of the grunge age in acoustic butterfly traps, and set a warm, intimate, amorphous tone for future indie folk that would grow to encompass The NationalSufjan StevensBon IverBright Eyes and Elbow. And basically write the script for Badly Drawn Boy. It was real. Real, perhaps, because it was so deeply The Essential Elliott Smith. Born Steven Smith into a family from the Community Of Christ church, a Mormon denomination, he was only six months old when his parents split. His mother married an insurance salesman named Charlie Welch, whom Smith would claim first beat him on their wedding day, aged three. On graduation, he officially took the name Elliott. At college in Amherst, Smith started a noise-grunge band called Heatmiser, The Essential Elliott Smith he also took to The Essential Elliott Smith solo acoustic shows when he returned to Portland. Word spread of his bewitching performances, the antithesis of grunge but the inheritor of its spirit. Then three or four of them sucked. Then they all sucked and everything I did was terrible. I was never good enough. If there was talking he would play quieter and he hushed the room, you could hear a pin drop. And he killed it. Before he knew it, Smith found himself in an Arizona psychiatric hospital. Smith soon left Portland for Brooklyn, characteristically low. He just talked about it as if it were going to happen. It was a story many The Essential Elliott Smith his old Portland friends would have found familiar. It would soon become apparent that public adoration was no solution. When he was nominated for an Oscar afterwards, Smith was cajoled into performing at the ceremony with threats that the organisers would get Richard Marx to sing the song if he refused. The nadir came in North Carolina that year, where a severely intoxicated Smith was impaled on a tree during an impulsive attempt on his own life. I got freaked out and started running, it was totally dark, and I ran off the edge of a cliff. Who cares, whatever. He was really excited and pumped. We would try tape machine games, recording real strings, playing with form. Only rarely did the lyrics suggest distraction. Schnapf suggested recording Figure 8 in batches, to lighten the burden on Smith. Which meant that, after working in a variety of LA studios, Smith could make a pilgrimage to Abbey Road Studios in London to record strings and immerse himself in the records of his childhood. Yet behind the scenes, things were turning The Essential Elliott Smith ugly. Hard drugs crept in and escalated fast. A lot of Figure 8 was very positive. It just started to slowly unwind… Towards the end of the process there was skittish behaviour, not looking you in the The Essential Elliott Smith kinda stuff. Either you start to get your shit together or go heavily down the other way. He hit that fork and went the other direction. Paranoia set in. Disappointed at the lack of success for Figure 8Smith became convinced DreamWorks were stalking and bugging him and had broken into his house to steal songs; he threatened to kill himself in order to escape his contract. He was reportedly found unconscious in a Silver Lake club bathroom in a heroin stupor and injured The Essential Elliott Smith back in a brawl with the LAPD at a Flaming Lips show in November Several attempts at detox failed, until a split with then-girlfriend Valerie Deerin inspired him to quit everything in Augustvirtually all at once. But such a brutal cold turkey, even cutting out vital prescription meds, had deep psychological consequences. Chiba would return home to find him taking a knife to old cigarette burns on his arm from his heroin days, and as his head cleared, so did his childhood. On his 34th birthday, on 6 AugustSmith quit drinking overnight, and also soon gave up red meat, caffeine and sugar. Then, The Essential Elliott Smith an argument in their Echo Park apartment in the afternoon of 21 October, Chiba claims she emerged from the shower to find Smith with a knife in his chest. He died in hospital an hour later. The danger in lingering on the darkness that enveloped Smith, particularly in his final years, is that it shrouds the enlightening impact of his music, both on subsequent generations of Americana artists who took on his mantle of airy melodic The Essential Elliott Smith and on the listeners finding their own stories in his words. I play music because The Essential Elliott Smith enjoy it. People overlook the happiness. The Figure 8 anniversary, then, is a time to celebrate The Essential Elliott Smith breezy consolations to be found hearing him hanging around feeling both lost and found. Already have an account?

  • The Weekly Arts End Entertainment Supplement to the Daily Nexus Daily Nexus 2 a Thursday, January 11,1996
    The Weekly Arts end Entertainment Supplement to the Daily Nexus Daily Nexus 2 A Thursday, January 11,1996 Various Artists R ed H ot + B othered Red Hot/Kinetic/Reprise This is a review of a compilation of some of the truly underground music world’s fin­ est efforts. Just like Red Hot + Dance and Red Hot+Blue, Red Hot + Bothered is an album created to benefit AIDS research. Red Hot + Bothered is at least a few months old, but hey, I just got it so it’s new to me. Featured are a wide range of bands that well-represent “indie rock.” For all those who may not know what indie rock is, it’s music that’s put out through independent labels. However, there have been some large exceptions to this recently. Bands such as Jawbox, Royal Trux, Shudder to Think ana, earlier, Sonic Youth, who had been indie bands have signed to major labels. Being that they still have a raw, unproduced sound and that they are still highly respected by indie rockers, it’s not quite right to drop them from that indie-rock labeling. Another stranger and somewhat more glaring exception to this indie rock stuff is the fact that Red Hot+Bothered is on Reprise, which is a major label. The Red Hot people tried to hide this by putting the compilation out through the indie label Kinetic simulta­ neously. Oh well. So much for staying true to hardcore roots. So much for keeping it real. At least it’s for a good cause and the music is really good.

  • Built to Spill (Us)
    2006-12-15 13:14 CET BUILT TO SPILL (US) BUILT TO SPILL (US) 9 maj – Malmö, KB 10 maj – Stockholm, Debaser Medis - KÖP BILJETT 12 maj – Göteborg, Sticky Fingers (Top Floor) När Doug Martsch bildade amerikanska indierockbandet Built To Spill i Boise, Idaho 1992 var hans intention att skapa ett projekt där medlemmarna inte var statiska, utan där bytet av dem skulle vara poängen. Bandet reinkarneras emellanåt med nytt blod och det enda man kan veta med säkerhet är att Doug Martsch självfallet kommer vara med och att det fortfarande är otroligt bra, oavsett övrig konstellation. Built To Spill förlitar sig i högre grad på bra kemi mellan medlemmarna än låtskrivande, även om de skriver som om de vore födda att göra just detta. Det är dessa ingredienser som bidrar till deras rent overkliga förmåga att förnya sig i sin musik gång på gång. Efter ett långt uppehåll i skivsläppandet, ända sedan redan klassiska ”Ancient Melodies of the Future” som kom ut 2001 är Built To Spill tillbaka med albumet ”You In Reverse” (Warner) som är det mest samspelta, inspirerade material detta extraordinära band någonsin visat upp. Nya skivan är beviset på bandets kaotiska men eleganta evolution där en viktig detalj denna gång är strävan efter en genuin 60-tals produktion. Det går att höra Neil Young och Pavement i Built To Spill, men de är i första hand starkt influerade av J Mascis tunga, melodiska gitarriff i Dinosaur Jr. Nu är även Brett Netson tillbaka i bandet som deras nyblivne femte medlem och hans avtryck på spår som ”Just A Habit” på nya skivan, där ett härdsmältande gitarrsolo skyltar med hans återkomst, är makalöst.

The legacy of slo-core was still being felt at the end of the decade on countless recordings devoted to fragile, slow ballads. For example, Fuck in San Francisco, notably their second album Baby Loves A Funny Bunny (1996), and Kingsbury Manx in North Carolina, with the gentle, bucolic odes of Kingsbury Manx (1999). Texas' American Analog Set (1) advanced the oneiric sound pioneered by Galaxie 500, especially on their second album, From Our Living Room To Yours (1997). The extended single Late One Sunday (1997) wove together two hypnotic patterns, respectively a country guitar twang and a dub bass line, against a backdrop of intense drumming and floating voices. New York's trio Calla (1) sculpted shadowy melodies that slowly crept out of their fragile envelopes on the stark and stately Calla (1999), a softly- hallucinated music reminiscent of Ry Cooder's soundtracks and Calexico's desert ambience. Seattle's Red Stars Theory (2) turned Built To Spill's brainy trance upside down, emphasizing the trance, on their mostly-instrumental albums But Sleep Came Slowly (1997) and especially Life In A Bubble Can Be Beautiful (1999), which fused psychedelic, chamber and country music.
