Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith is an artist I would have loved to see live. His catalogue is so perfect.

I really dipped into 'XO' in 2009 - it's a really fanstic album. Most songs have a full-band arrangement.

"Independence Day" for the intro.

"Waltz #2 (XO)" for the ascending guitar line that repeats throughout which sounds even more magnificent recorded. He can't really capture it live with just his guitar.

And I stumbled on this non-'XO' tunes that made me really happy:

"Stupidity Tries" on Letterman
And the Good Will Hunting theme song - "Angeles"
