Happy Belated Birthday, Elliott.

I’d say better late than never, but that sounds like a horrible attempt at an atrocious pun.

I’m somewhat ashamed that I didn’t notice Elliott Smith’s birthday until nearly a week later. Elliott Smith, born August 6th 1969, was an important figure in the indie singer-songwriter scene in the 90′s. Of course you all knew that, already. I mean, you better have known that, otherwise the music Nazis are going to come after you. Anyway, I thought that I’d celebrate his birthday the best way I could. Here are my favorite Elliott Smith songs, live versions when available (in no particular order). What are yours?
