i just went to my local and best buy and of course they didnt have it wow i hate that place anyways just wondering if its any good??

Figure8

Yeah its very solid, its in vein of self-titled and either/or mostly. All in all its good, theres some weaker tracks on it, but the good outweighs the bad most of its been available on b-side sites but they're cleaned up which is nice and theres some new tracks. High Times, All Cleaned Out and the early version of Miss Misery are my current favorites on it.

Anyone want to recommend the best CD for someone who knows that he's absolutely going to love Elliot Smith, but doesn't know where to start? I know I really like "Roman Candle" and "Son of Sam" ...

i think theres another elliot smith thread with a bunch of recommendations.
look there

I'd go with From a Basement on the Hill, its kind of messy because he didn't mix it, but its got a variety of stuff its got his full band experimental stuff like Shooting Star and King's Crossing and his soft acoustic songs like Last Hour and Twilight.

If you can't get that one, then either/or is a good starting place, or Figure 8.

i was surprised when they came out with this after 'basement on a hill.' hes got a lot of material which is cool

i'm curious too. i'm sure best buy wont have it. your best bet is to order it from an indie store or even Virgin Megastore if you're not around any other shops.

tater03

Yes, I find that Best Buy doesn't stock alot of the Indie stuff. I haven't heard anything from it though.

the more I think about it I think I can live happily just listening to "needle in the hay" all day(just one though) and the rest of Kill Rock Stars album

I couldn't agree more. "Needle In The Hay" is one of the deepest, most emotionally inspired song I've heard since Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah".

From a basement on a hill was the first thing I ever heard from elliot smith, so perhaps i am partial too that, but it's my favorite..
