I can't wait until something terrible happens to Pat Robertson so I can blame it on God's wrath.

I'm so sick of this crazy christian turd.  Every time something tragic happens to anyone or anything he blames it on God being pissed.  Seriously folks if you're significantly overweight and are nearly 80 years old chances are you're going to have a stroke... I hate Pat Robertson and I hope if there is a God she strikes him down.

Elliott lives on... Basement II

If you're and Elliott Smith fan and you haven't downloaded and listened to these leaked tracks yet, do so now!  HERE (if this link dies let me know)

Elliott Smith, whose apparent suicide left the music world stunned two years ago, had a group of demos surface on the Internet two weeks ago.

 

Basement II is the title of the set of demos, which was partially named after Smith’s final studio album, From a Basement on the Hill. The demos span Smith’s career, focusing mainly on the latter portion, when recording for the albums was done in Smith’s home.

 

The demos make the listener feel like they are in Elliott’s basement sitting next to him, watching him record. Along with the home feel is Smith’s signature voice and guitar style, making this disc not just a collection of demos, but a collection of masterpieces.

 

One of the signature tracks on the collection is “Thirteen,” a cover of the ‘70s rock song by Big Star. “Thirteen” was played often in Smith’s career during live performances, but had yet to be released as a studio track. The lyrics, which are aimed at a teenage couple, fit perfectly with Smith’s soft, shaky voice.

 

“I Don’t Think I’m Ever Going to Figure It Out” originally appeared as a b-side, but the stripped down demo version possesses the elements that Smith wanted the song to have. This track is reminiscent of students searching for their purpose and calling in life, but have yet to find what it is they are searching for.

 

Other tracks worth checking out are the cover of Cat Stevens’ “Trouble,” and “Cecilia Amanda,” which is an original, ear-catching tune about an acquaintance who needs to give up the party lifestyle.

 

After listening to the Basement collection and knowing of Smith’s previous work, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing great music can be made without the help of sophisticated studios and pushy producers. The demos have the true Elliott Smith feel: Soft and leaving the listener with a sense of Smith’s aching pains.

Happy Thanksgiving!
