Elliott Smith - New Moon
Monday, May 14, 2007

Elliott Smith's label Kill Rockstars (KRS) has released a new album of all his unreleased stuff. I don't know why a lot of it wasn't released, because I love a lot of it, some of my favorite songs are on this album now. Its a whopping 24 tracks, two CDs.

About that label though. Heres a situation where I feel no remorse for just downloading the album and not paying any money. Elliott Smith is dead. This is a marketing play for the most part. They want more money that they can make off of Elliott, in spite of his death early in his career. Chances are they payed him a bit to sign, he died early, and all of his assets went to his woman (who probably killed him...). So in an attempt to make up for what they paid him, they probably put together this little guy. Now it would have been one thing, if they had donated the proceeds of this CD to a worthy cause, or anything other than stick it in their pockets. But they didn't, so fuck 'em.

So download away, torrent sites have it up, took me a couple hours. If you're a fan, enjoy. If you aren't yet, download some stuff and give it a try. One of my favorite artists. Ever.

Holy shit

Haven't posted on here in over a month. It always happens like this. I get real into it, type a bunch of posts, then eventually I start to spread any creativity I might have over multiple mediums, and it all sort of slows down in general. Then I just kinda wear myself down and stop posting all together. Getting a bit overeager I suppose.

Well anyway, what have I been upto? I made four new videos, partied with friends, started a wordpress blog and a secret society (shhh). I've been busy I suppose. Not too busy to post on here, that was probably out of sheer laziness or lack of shit to write about. I guess I'll start posting again more regularly, keep updates on my videos too. Thats something I'm genuinely ashamed of. I made FOUR (count them) videos, and didn't post one of them on here. Horrible, really.

Anyway, I've been real talkative lately, probably due to the fact that all I've got left in Minnesota is summer before I head alllll the way over to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. So talk me up.
