It was local (U.C.)L.A. blog The Rawking Refuses to Stop that made me aware of the amazing collection of Elliott Smith recordings, Trash Treasury. It looks like they’ve collected the majority of the recordings of his shows that are out there, and it provides an incredible way to understand his musical career, particularly in the later years. The only time I ever saw Elliott Smith was back in 1996 opening for a New York band that I liked quite a lot during my high school years, Versus. I had heard of him but was generally more focused on more punk-derived indie rock at the time, so I hadn’t pursued him. But I was blown away by the performance and quickly started listening to him more enthusiastically.
