Ben Folds tribute to Elliott Smith

XO Great debut nomination Big Joe, I get the feeling we have similar musical tastes, weren’t you going to do a Banjo playlist ? I’ve mentioned about finding hidden gems on this thread before and although I can’t really class this as hidden as I was familiar with Elliott Smith and I’d heard...

One of the first albums I nominated on the album thread was Sunhouse’ ‘Crazy on the Weekend’ The lead singer and songwriter was Gavin Clark a big mate of the film producer Sean Meadows, he appeared on the soundtrack of most of his films. In particular his bands Clayhill version of The Smiths...

Great news Eamonn, he looks a belter hope he gives you and your family as much happiness as mine give me and he stays fit and healthy all his life. Looks like he’s going to be a big boy judging by those paws!

By coincidence I was going to mention Nick Drake and Scott Hutchinson in my review of Elliott Smiths XO as they were all tortured souls who made great music. Here’s another we lost too soon.An excellent singer singer writer and great guitarist who played in Ryan Adams band The Cardinals and...

It's not the long flowing dress that you're in Or the light coming off of your skin The fragile heart you protected for so long Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

You went to Ridgemont High ? ;)

Yep, Spotify killed the CD for me, I’ve still got a few cd players but never use them.Its just to easy using Spotify especially in the car. I know I’m sacrificing sound quality but I’m no audiophile.

Me, I’ve got about 2500 , I had them all in alphabetical order on shelves in the last house, but since I moved they are all in suitcases and I need to get rid of them when I move again!

Beatleesque , for some reason the word didn’t type

First few songs very , but in better way than Oasis.

What no clues again! This is becoming an unwelcome theme :) I’m familiar with ES I’ve definitely listened to Either/Or ack in the day, don’t think I’ve listened to this one though, I love my melancholy so looking forward to this. Good write up too.

I’ll add it as it’s another great song, which I thought might get nominated. I was surprised’Landslide’ and ‘Good Riddance’ (Time of Your Life’ didn’t.

I SHOULD COCO I’m in the same position as OB1,I just don’t have the time nor am I as articulate in my writing skills to do the wonderful reviews Rob,Spires,Foggy and now Mr Belfry do.I’m happy just to do the three listens and more on occasions then decide if I like what I’m hearing.i love this...

1972 for me and possibly 1976

My last one, written in 1980 by the late great Lou Reed Growing Up in Public’ could now be a paen to JD or his boss :)

Think your clutching at straws, the theme relates to people aging not places, but it’s a great song so I’ll let it in.

Great love song ,but not really age related.

Janis Ian ‘At Seventeen’

I agree about RB, I saw him live before COVID at the Ritz he was excellent as was the support band Sons of Bill who I think you would like.RBs more into acting now as per Yellowstone.
