Elliott Smith's Either/Or (in 5 Minutes) | Liner Notes 

Hence the profile picture ;^)

@@versnellingspookie and he still hasn’t changed it

Probably my favourite album, along with ‘Begin’ by The Millennium

Same

Now 17

20 years 2 days ago…

I 💔 metal was my fave.

@@jacobsims8307 mine was his bocephus shirt.

Yes, and Big Star

Yeah, he loved the Beatles

And little one

Genre?

HanQuixote What mistake did they fix?

When referencing Elliott's rock band Heatmiser, they mistakenly circled the wrong person when mentioning his co-vocalist/guitarist Neil Gust. There may have been other things, but that was the one i noticed and pointed out. It's cool they bothered to fix it. Most wouldn't have.

HanQuixote Yeah its pretty cool of them. Nice to see videos of him coming up to the 20th anniversary

@@dylandarcy1150 1000% Pink Moon!

Yea if its wasn’t for Nick Drake, I’d agree. Elliott is still amazing tho.

Lynn Turman yes I completely agree, it’s a shame he isn’t as big, but than again he didn’t want to be famous

Agreed, but just so you know, Elton John didn’t write his own lyrics. Bernie taupin wrote all of his songs.

Cuz humans sadly make mistake

Cuz he had 5 minutes to cover a lot of material and explaining existentialism takes a little time.

Wow didn't even know that

Do you know of any places where he talks about that? Ik he studied philosophy but i swear I’ve looked thru tons of interviews and haven’t found any where he gets to talk about it much

Apparently not, when any casual fan like you can just find that factoid on the Internet.

It's not really difficult at all

I know right, how could he sing AND play guitar while he was singing and playing guitar at the same time?

It’s extremely easy to pull off. He’s not special.

@@curly_wyn That's a ridiculous statement. Writing and then playing intricate guitar arrangements while singing perfectly at the same time, often 2 to 3 times over in a complete take straight to tape is not 'ridiculously easy' and there has never been an artist since Elliott that has achieved that sound to such a high standard. Period.

same!!

Theodora S. Speed trials. ; )

pictures of me :)

definitely theo

Cupid’s Trick

@@joshgulisano1863 Underrated

Emery Reese which one is that??

subwaysurfer now it would probably be Between the Bars, but I had Miss Misery in mind

subwaysurfer now it would probably be Between the Bars, but I had Miss Misery in mind

Interesting how his biggest hit back then now has 10x less popularity than between the bars

Yeah, that was always my interpretation too.

Word.

@ayeayeayeist No, there is nothing in those lyrics that point to capitalism or ant-capitalism. The song is very open about it being about Elliot's depression and misery. I say this as a massive Elliot Smith fan who's listened to this album countless times

King Cobra to you there may not be but to others there can be. That’s the beauty of music

I agree

Butthurt Republican spotted.

profd65 what?

@@profd65 wut..?

It's Pitchfork, enough reason inna nutshell buddy!

GooGuGajoob lol

So Gooooood. That or Junk Bond Trader. Or Kings Crossing.

Pitchfork later called his show at Umbra Prenumbra legendary. It was professionaly recorded and released as the b side of the anniversary edition of self titled

based

Thomas Harrington between the bars

late comment but it is actually "speed trials" and not "between the bars"

Yeah rose parade is about being high on drugs (opiates) and miserable and forced to fake pretend you're okay when you're out at a parade with your friends. It's about depression and drug use it has less then nothing to do with capitalism

* YOU'RE

ᄋᄆᄀᄌ thanks a lot man

2:45　am

do you remember the song?

And elvis costello

WoWplyr19 because pitchfork sucks

Leonardo Cabrera Why are you here?

Sued Bubbles because I'm bored please don't offend me

They made a couple mistakes in their first video.

Sudev Sen yoko

Idk, it was in the heat of G.W.Bush's America. 9/11, Katrina, Desert Storm, Elliott Smith's "suicide", coincidence? I think not.

JFK

Jennifer Chiba killed him and got away with it.

I'd take Figure 8 over it.

That’s exactly what he is. A stupid awful artist.

God, Speeding Bullet To Heaven was such a shit album.

Still love Cudi tho

You’ll*

@@profd65 I'm not republican lol

Lol I get how it might sound weird but they went overboard with calling it anti-capitalistic :P

Well obviously Elliott Smith was an intellectual, so he must've hidden deeper meanings in his lyrics. "Throwing out candy that looks like money" was obviously a stab at the U.S.'s lackadaisical demeanor towards capitalism, and it's so-called democratic standings......this was meant as sarcasm, but now it sounds like someone smart could've said it, rather than me. ANTI-CAPITALIST!!!!! COMMIE!!! 9/11!!!! HOLIDAY TERRORISM!!!! MEDIA!! THE CHURCH!!! yeah. someone smart....

Spotted the capitalist... haha

"So called democratic??" How is a communist dictatorship 'democratic?' LOL
