The only person I can compare Elliott Smith to is Modest Mouse, and even then the comparison is very thin. Just shows how unique the two bands are (especially Elliott).
He doesn't HATE being interviewed and he doesn't HATE being asked questions. He's insaneley insecure. You can tell he doubts his movements, even when he notices himself blinking. He acts just like one of my friends. A super nice guy, hates being the center of attention. Poor guy, I hope he doesn't stab himself too.
OH .... you mean back before Modest Mouse sold out and "Breathed Salty"? lol The only reason most of you know them, sad. Yeah, they USED to be a good band, till the "Scene" "Discovered" them. NOW there is no more "Cokacokacola"
@Skankindragon1 Modest Mouse is still an excellent band :) They got a popular single, cool, they are still great no matter what weirdos like you seem to think.
@photent I hink i figured it out..i think it's Shangri-la by the kinks..i know Elliott liked them..it sounds like the chorus Shaan grii laaa.. :) i love him!
i love watching his interviews. he's so normal and natural, there's this sort of breezy feeling that come over me when i watch him, it reminds me of standing alone someplace nice, like an open field on a chilly golden autumn afternoon
@Malocclusiontenfour Yes, he wants to escape, does not feel at ease, but also gives us a sweet smile, sincere. Would you like to just hug him and tell him that all is well.
this actually thinks that Elliott is a nobody when hes like the most awesome creative/talented genius singer/songwriter since Nick Drake and the Beatles
@trilobite3339 I think he's just really self conscience from drugs and his own personality. So much that it comes across that he gets angered or bored. I get the same way too at times so I feel that's what it is.
oh its like he is about starting to cry anytime
