Elliot Smith - Either/Or

Aha! cheating already you say. A day gone, an album downloaded and nothing to say! well to the two people who care, you can both calm down because all i've done is combined the two albums into one post. An ingenious idea i know, which will help no end in getting through the remaining 9000 days of albums or whatever i have left. On a sadder note i missed Elliott Smith when he first came along. I was wearing flannelette shirts and listening to eddie vedder garble on about whatever the hell it is he garbles on about when Smith released these two albums. Of course i wasn't the only one, they snuck under the radar a bit and it wasn't till his more commercially successful album Figure 8 in 2000 that a lot of people became interested in his previous releases. His untimely death three years later ( age 34 ) led to the interest becoming an obsession in some and he has a legion of insane fans who now treat his music as some sort of religion. Oh yeah, and i'm thinking of converting. Elliot Smith is a genius. He is brilliant. In fact stop what you are doing right now and go and listen to either of these two albums and tell me otherwise. I wont write another word until you do.
