Elliott Smith, Six Years Gone
Photo by David Greenwald
I guess it never really gets any easier to lose your favorite musician. In the decade since discovering Elliott Smith, I’ve listened to thousands of bands and albums — and as much as I love them, nobody comes close. Since his death, I’ve tried to use Rawkblog as a gathering place for some of his lost or otherwise unknown material; below, some links to explore. If you’ve never listened to him, well, you’ll need everything he’s ever recorded, but here’s a good place to start. We miss you, Elliott.
Elliott Smith – “Place Pigalle” (unreleased): mp3
Elliott Smith: The Complete Live Covers (50+ songs including the Beatles, Big Star, etc.)

Yep, never gets easier. I am heading out to the wall tonight. Currently listening to “Rose Parade”.
That exact picture is hanging on the wall in my band’s rehearsal space. RIP Elliott.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Elliott has always held such a special place in my heart and his death seemingly changed my life forever. I’d love for you to check out my post surrounding the 6th year since his death at AudioADD.net.
that is my favourite photo of him, ever. I am so jealous of your framed lovliness.
RIP Elliott
It’s not mine — it’s hanging at Largo.
