Elliott Smith Basement Remodel

 

Since the poor dead bastard's unfinished basement was completed by others to their own design, here's my take, which is obviously better because it's mine. Admiration for the electric Elliott, whether in the studio or ripping it up on tour with Quasi, has guided the proceedings here, focusing less on the fragile and tragic side of things. I'm sad enough, thank you. The first two songs are said to be sequenced as the artist intended. Since Passing Feeling was always my favorite basement cut, discovering that it was supposed to be in a featured position inspired me to similarly honor Stickman and Mr. Goodmorning lest they remain shrouded in the dust of obscurity. Tracks 16 through 20 are postscripts and the Grand Mal stuff is likely transcoded. Neil Gust sings Who's Behind The Door.
