Elliott Smith and Nick Drake

Now, who hasn't heard of Elliott Smith? No one important, that's for sure. However, we've still deemed it necessary to spread The Word.
Elliott Smith's fourth album was also his first on a major label. XO was released in August of 1998, and this is a must have album. I can't even coherantly speak about it; so I'm going to let the songs speak for themselves.

From Elliott Smith's XO:
01. Tomorrow, Tomorrow
02. Baby Britain
03. Bottle Up and Explode!

Now, for Nick Drake. His third (and final) album is Pink Moon. It was recorded all in one evening, the only dubbing being added piano. It is a very emotional album, which must be experianced. It's the sort of cd for a rainy day, or a lonely moment. Drake's deep voice can sooth, but it can also rouse up emotions. Again, this is a must have cd.

From Nick Drake's Pink Moon:
01. Road [m4a]
02. Parasite [m4a]

I'm going to second all of Ju's apologies for the lack of posting for a while, but as she said, she was in Seattle; I've been doing school (oh, math is evil) and then Phil is MIA.

Enjoy!
