The overwhelming feeling with listening to Figure 8 this morning is did that really come out in 2000. Twenty six years ago. What had happened to my life? Covid, compressed life as have the events of the last ten years in people's lives an in the world.
Elliott Smith is a beautiful talent of a certain sort; Barrett, Drake, Curtis, Cobain, Buckley, Cornell, Linkous. I hear records all the time where I think someone has bended a knee to Elliot. He himself bent his head for Big Star and Beatles most obviously. This is a music which ultimately transcends depression and becomes craft .
