How about this
happens around you?

He began with Good Will Hunting, and then
XO,

and have passed 18 months.

Yes I do not know.

I know things are different

because people makes me different questions.

But I do not feel that things have changed a lot
.

Just... Still...

I do the same things he did.

I think the same things, so...

once said: "I'll never be
a rock star."

I said it because I think it's true.

But do not try to avoid anything.

Would have to be more...

I'm not... I'm not the right person
to be famous and large.

Miss Misery
You touched on the nomination of the Oscar,

how did you feel?
A little punk too?

It was very strange.

It was quite fun for a day.

I do not know if it would be fun to live in that world.

But it was fun. Very funny.

Not sure if that was...
I would not say it was punk at all.

But it was fun.

Were all these famous singers

and said, "Who is that guy?".

Will Hunting "Miss Misery"

The white suit?

"The white suit with messy hair?".

"That did not sell millions of records
What the hell are you doing here.?".

I wondered Io same.

Elliott was our secret for our fans.

And then touched Good Will Hunting

and everyone realized who it was.

And I do not hate success.
I wanted more people to hear his music.

But that meant many changes for him.

Io was hard to see that it was hard for him fame.

And only going to be worse.

After hearing the song
it would be nominated for an Oscar,

I had to do many interviews.

Every morning went to study

and the first hour or more
he spent in interviews saying:

"No, Gus did not discover me."

"I got six albums with the band
Three and three alone.".

"No, not only played in cafés".

Every day, all morning.
The same interview, again and again,

and clear, Io journalists not know,

not even investigated.

Now he must play the
Oscar and seen as an indie-rock types.

I think it was Io worst thing that could happen, somehow
.

It was totally strange that a person
and I were in that program.

Was a rare situation.

Very rare.
And that was funny.

Would not do it again.
I did not feel nervous.

But it seemed like everything was happening in slow motion
.

The musician Elliott Smith died yesterday in Los Angeles.

OCTOBER 2003

While many news
Io described as a possible suicide,

police forensics
not determined the cause of death.

Which includes five acclaimed solo albums

and an Oscar nomination for Best Song
The singer of 34 years
his career, struggled.

Elliott you're free...

This was a few days before that Elliott was
the air.

I went to Los Angeles and I was called, was a number
Beverly Hills

and I said, "Maybe it's Luke
to confirm the radio interview."

Was another friend of mine who told me that Elliott had died
.

RIP Elliott Smith

MTV said to have died, and people
calls.

And then I said,

miss you ELLIOTT

"It's just a rumor,"

because there were many rumors in Los Angeles.

Elliott Smith, 34; Composer, singer Bittersweet...

Thank Your music means a lot to me

IMPORTANT SOMEONE WERE

That day, I...

was angry with the universe,
with industry.

Said: "Why?".

"Why did that happen?".

Dear Elliott,
I want to thank you for bringing beautiful music to the world...

My wife called me and said:
"I have terrible news."

I was very shocked.

And she said, "Yes, Elliott... Elliott Io had made

." And he died "

I took a train and went home

And that was very good,

because train travel
put you in a situation

where you sit, the landscape passes
,

and can accommodate your emotions

and all other Io

I sat down, I was in the dining car

with
an elderly couple who were on their honeymoon.

They had 80 years and were newlyweds,

And traveling the country by train.

We dined together and had a strange conversation,

and it was fun,

and trying to return to life.

And suddenly, the old couple said:

"Did you know that crazy singer

" to be stabbed in the heart?

"Who can do that

?" I could not imagine being able to do that physically
"

thought." What the hell?
What happens here "

How do these people know that

AIR

It's called Angeles, is Elliott Smith live
KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic.

'm Chris Douridas.

Elliott will be in the record store
No Life at 7:30 today

Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood,
and tomorrow at Spaceland.

Welcome to KCRW, Elliott.

Thanks. Thanks for inviting.

We hoped to have you on the show a while and...

anyway
I'm glad you finally came.

Thanks.

How do you play guitar?
How do you write songs?

Since I was 14 years old.

How did you learn?

How autodidact
listening to records and so on?

If I recorded songs from the radio,

he played a note, "This is not."
The other note: "This is not."

- By process of elimination. .
- Yes

Lives in Portland area for some time.

Are you there?

I grew up in Texas, but I live in Portland
long.

- What part of Texas?
- Dallas.

- No kidding.
- No kidding.

Elliott was born in Omaha.

My mother and father were separated

sister Ashley Elliott Welch

When he was one year
and moved to Dallas.

When I was four,

our mother and father were married
and moved to a house.

Y
Elliott was seven years old when I was born.

Remember Io chased

and wanted to see what he did.

My mother said that he talked too much,

began to speak since childhood, loved to sing
,

and seemed to be a very happy child.

Music is important for our family
Io always has been.

Elliott met in sixth grade,
in literature class,

Steve "Pickle" Pickering
childhood friend

when Io still called Steve.

The two competed to be the class clowns.

And so we get along
from the beginning.

I do not remember how I asked Io,

but it was something like: "Do you play an instrument?".

Obviously, other than the saxophone,
I learned in the band.

I said, "Yeah, I play the piano.".

And he said, "I also play the piano."

And started from there.

And the main focus of our activities turned.

Elliott thought we all would join

and organized the band.

Sometimes we practiced at home, but often
was in my house.

Depended on the mother who could lead
,

and sibling
do another activity.

It was great to have a sister six years
close

when you did that.

Began writing songs
most with the guitar. Instrumentals.

I never thought to do that.

If you're busy playing
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin,

is great. It is great on its own.

When I had more experience in composing
,

songs became longer,

had more parts,
and started playing different styles.

When I hear his later songs,

sound like him.

Because Io do much
heard that fingerpicking

when I was 13 or 14 years.

I do not remember when it was.

I know that after they moved in,

all the time expected to return.

What brought you to Portland?

Do your parents, or were there in the school?

I moved there as a child.

Not talk about that.

- Sorry.
- I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone.

At one point in the interview where
begin to track their movements

for the country and how it grew,

and inspired
moving from Dallas to Portland.

And to be so honest,

begins to explain

why it was better to leave
Dallas in the past.

And then he realizes that he is
air, I think,

Chris Douridas KCRW Radio presenter Los Angeles

Io thinks best,
and returns to the guitar.

Feel some relief when
stops talking about it.

Not along very well with my father.

It is quite obvious.

I do not know if he was in eighth or ninth year

when he decided to move to Portland.

When he returned to Texas,
in July or August 1984

had a lot of songs.

One of them was a song called Outward Bound
.

It's basically a song for Oregon.

This is the great Northwest.

At the time, I thought it was a message to
Texas:

"Since I left friends.

"And even return visit,
this is not my home."

Was clear he liked Portland.

And there wanted to be.

One, two, three.

Lincoln High HEADQUARTERS OF CARDINAL

was in third year
and played flute in the school band.

And another friend of mine,
one day to the end of the class he said:

"You should meet this guy,

" is also a great fan of Rush "

Musician Tony Lash
<. i> Stranger Than ficti or n , Heatmiser

was wearing my shirt Rush
or Io Elliott That was it..

I do not remember very well to say that we get good
a,

but it seems that we became fast friends.

Instrumental songs that I wrote...

not worked when he was 12 o13.

Why they not work?

I do not know. Because they were not good.

VOCAL MUSIC

And this was with guitar, live?

Some other.
Most were with piano at that time,

because I took one years
classes as a kid.

Had armed the Stranger Than Fiction
group with Jason and Garrick.

They had a couple of songs that I heard

And he wanted to be their producer.

Already he aspired to be a producer at that time.

But it was not until the last year
I started playing drums with them

and recorded the album Still Waters
More Or Less.

Were four discs of Stranger Than Fiction.

The first
Io did before I started working with them,

junior year in high school.

Then Still Waters More Or Less
where played and produced with them.

And they made one more,
but did not participate in that.

And one more after

I recorded with them.

She became very good with the guitar.

And with piano and drums.

Larry Crane - Archivist
Owner Jackpot! Studies, Portland

made do with bass lines.

And discovered how I wanted to sing.

Sometimes
tried to sing like Joe Strummer,

sometimes as Elvis Costello.

Sound like Joe Strummer cold.

Io not stand.

I love Joe Strummer, but I'm not him.

When time passed and Elliott took confidence
,

are more letters written by Elliott,

Alumnus Kevin Moyer Lincoln High

Elliott and voices.

Many of those songs secondary

the recycled and used for albums
Heatmiser and soloists.

Elliott finished high school, went to college
and returned,

formed another band,
A Murder of Crows, with Garrick Duckler.

Every summer had another project to do.

A Murder of Crows,
Harum Scarum with Tony and Jason.

Harum Scarum was one of a series...

I think we did four projects

where I helped several things,
when Elliott returned to the city.

Yes I think it was one of those things
we did in a month,

during the summer of 1989 perhaps.

I do not know why we do not change the name
Harum Scarum,

because we were four again
Jason Garrick, Elliott and me.

After making Harum Scarum,
Neil met and began playing with it.

When he and I talked,
he started talking about Heatmiser

and asked me to play,
Neil had heard the tape of Harum Scarum

and he liked my drums,

and were
thinking about returning to Portland.

Elliott Smith, April 1996

Local Rob Show KWVA 88.1
Eugene, Oregon

Okay.
Someone is downstairs.

My name is Rob and I'm talking to Elliott Smith

band
Elliott Smith and Heatmiser.

I just have a few questions and listen to songs
,

and we will begin.

Some things he asked me.

How Heatmiser started?
I knew that you were in...

- You met another guitarist...
- Yes Neil..

... Neil, in Massachusetts.

- Sure.
- At Hampshire College.

We played together there.

And we used to do acoustic shows.

And then we moved here,

because I had a high school friend who played drums
, Tony.

And he wanted... I wanted to play.

Going to go to Chicago, but then wanted to play
,

- so we moved here.
- All right.

North Hampton was pretty cute,

but in the summer, the boys were
,

- and the villagers came out...
- Yes

... and began to tell me things and
. he walked down the street.

One guy told me "dirt"
while walking down the street.

- Going to work, was a baker.
- Yes.

Was all dressed in white.

I was wearing a uniform Baker

and this guy went through a truck
and shouted: "Filth!".

That makes sense.

Never had called me that, and especially

- because I am immaculate.
- If it is okay.

I think there's a whole generation of kids,

that they know their music

and go crazy when they see your rocker side.

In the early 90s, music
Portland

was as vibrant as today.

But it had not been discovered.

Neil and Elliott came to here, and met
.

We started working a little
without a bassist.

We found Brandt,
and it was a great bass player

and fit right away.

Neil and I let people seek Elliott and contacts

because he felt

they had the direction of the band,

and it was important to feel comfortable.

Portland was quite insular
at that time and was less crowded.

There were not many people playing

not many places that have alternative shows.

At that time, if you did that, you cruzabas
others.

Everyone said:
"I love Portland's great.".

Jarosz Janel Music, Queen Trailer

Especially if they were interested in music.

I came to Portland in '87, early 88

and six months, was playing in Satyricon
,

Musician Pete Krebs, Hazel

X-Ray

and then Blue Gallery, a little.

And those were the three places.

At that time in Portland was

the latter part of the first wave

alternative music of Portland.

There had been
punk rock and hard-core and...

Everything in Portland was slower,
after hard-core,

post punk bands soon appeared,

appeared in Portland after Los Angeles and New York.

Portland was at that time
a stagnant city.

Was the staging point

between a show in San Francisco
and a show in Seattle.

He was one of the owners of the fabulous coffee
X-Ray.

Was open from 1990 to 1994.

it was a place for all ages.

It was good to have a place to play for all ages
.

Popped while all these groups.

We did lots of shows with Hazel,
Crackerbash, Sprinkler and Pond.

The group of typical bands of that era.

And we were loud and we were angry at the time.

Joanna Bolme Music, Calamity Jane, Jr. High

The seal of those bands was
loud guitars and screaming singers.

A period in which Portland
trying to create their own sound

or brand that distinguished Io

Io happened in Seattle.

We were influenced by bands like The Pixies and Big Black,

And the things that happened in Touch and Go
and on the East Coast.

The Spud Boys were amazing.

The brothers Slusarenko
invited us to join a cover band Devo.

With Sam Coomes, Elliott and me.

It was with that Elliott and I met well.

I know that when I first touch
a Heatmiser, said:

"My God, the Portland Fugazi".

Heatmiser left the punk.
Elliott left there.

I think there are a lot
Io happened with punk

was
to make room for something that would come later.

Io Those guys knew they were doing musically.

And the guy who played guitar was
very good.

For 93 or 94, when the moon
had become the focus

was great to lead so many people to a show.

The bands get along,
it was a great fellowship.

And I think it showed

on the way out shows,

and why so many people
connects to the period.

Each sound has its time.

Y
many bands now that are at the top,

and for a bit, for a couple of years,

We were on top.

Can we have more voices
on monitors?

When we started and launched the first record

we had been together only six months or so.

We knew what we wanted to do.

We got carried

with a sound that appeared.

As many bands with their first record

've spent enough time

arming songs and playing shows.

Was much longer do
songs as we played live.

She sang very rare.
Io always sang louder as he could.

Yes.

It was loudest possible Io.

Now I can not hear those recordings.

It's interesting when I hear songs from the first album
now

how muscular he was.

Just we felt we wanted it will rock.

When it ended, I sent the disks

Lisa Fancher Frontier Records

and said, "I think you will like this band."

She loved
recording and flew from Los Angeles to Portland,

and we all went to dinner one night.

Were at the Thai restaurant,
remember, at 39 and Division.

After dinner, we go out,

never forget this,
it was the sweetest of all.

Elliott turned to me and said:

"Dude, it's the first time that my art
pays me dinner."

- Is that all? That is all?
- I think so.

Heatmiser in radio show "Pandora's Box"
KBOO, Portland

Thanks. Why do not you go
to the rec room?

Because we will be part of the special interview segment.

And Dave will talk with you in a second.

You want to stay here? It's okay.

We will be here to play and laugh.

We will ask each

and I want to answer honestly.

- Each?
- Yes

Elliott, boxers or briefs.?

Dave, you ask?

Okay.
Actually Io to talk about today...

- None.
-... Is the album, right?

- What's it called?
- Our new album?

Yes, the new album, how?

Pop and Heater.

- Is called Cop And Speeder.
- Croppy Speeder.

I hear it all the time
and I really like those songs.

Video, who is the dancer?

- Marc
- Marc

- Swanson's last name, such as meals.
- It's okay.

That was good.

Neil called me and told me that I was wanted

in one of his videos, dancing.

We stopped in places with Heatmiser truck,

became very strong, and I stood
music and dancing there.

Okay. Where meet, Elliott?

Portland Because people want to see them before...

Coming together like... like normal people.

"As if" they were normal people.

- As if we were not rock stars.
- Rock stars.

Just like ordinary people.

In fact, Elliott,
are more an asteroid rock.

Thanks, Dave. You're like a meteor.

Where together?
Come on, Elliott, where?

I do not know. In a house?

Got a job with a guy,

removing paint a ceiling with a scaffold
6 meters.

And Elliott got to work with that.

A perfect musician's work.
Hungover, he drank coffee, scraping the ceiling.

I worked a lot with Peter Krebs,
and most were not music.

They say they used to break
chimneys and others?

We did demolition work together,

and we arranged walls

and construction jobs
those that nobody wants to do.

They used to write songs at the time,

when did that work, in your head?

By removing a wall,
no brainer.

How you take care all that free time?

He had recorded the songs that were
in Roman Candle, and had a cassette

Io and I got when we worked.

It was in the basement of JJ.
One of the partners had a 4-Track.

And when I heard that,

had not heard anything like that before.

When he recorded those songs,

may not know what they were.

I did not know if they would be on a disk.

Music
Elliott began to make more sense.

Said. "I'll get out of all this noise,

" sit with my guitar and sing
on how I feel "

If you only listen to the first two albums of Elliott,

Not hear a complete song,
if not hear the words,

not hear where it goes,

only hear the sound for a second,

Slim Moon Label Kill Rock Stars

the People at that time said:
"Sounds like Simon & Garfunkel".

Like many people, the first time I heard
Elliott, I thought something

that if he were alive today, he would be embarrassed
.

I said. "It sounds like Paul Simon
reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel

." It's nice "

One person said it sounded like Paul Simon
..

And everyone else who heard
had to appoint Paul Simon

to say that did not sound like Paul Simon.

"It is the kind of Heatmiser, eh?".

And I said, "Go not sound like Heatmiser
.".

"Sounds more like Nick Drake".

Is
no one imagined it was the same person

screaming and throwing in Heatmiser guitars and others.

But it was clear that this music that played only

Io was he wanted, or where I wanted to go
.

Tammy Watson asked me if I wanted to go to a five soloists,

Would be a quick tour a week
on the West Coast.

I knew all but Elliott.

A Elliott and me
Io asked us did.

There was I impressed

Elliott.

The first night the tour, I did not hear
Io who played Elliott.

Returns, Sean took the stage
addressed the audience and said:

"
Those who arrived late and did not see Elliott Smith

" something important was lost "

was the one who was...

Callaba place silenced the room.

It was very embarrassing and...

Because Elliott played

And everyone was perplexed.

Something happens. It is real and deep,
like a raw nerve.

The next night, I made sure to see
touch Elliott.

I loved the music.

And I went to the truck as
finished playing,

and put the CD,

and did not see anyone else play

because I sat listening to his CD, again and again.

There was an incredible show
when we were on tour,

and I took Margaret Mittleman and say:

"You should see this guy is amazing."

Was a group of people

Representative Margaret Mittleman Elliott

and he sat in a chair,
a folding chair in the corner,

and was touching. It was incredible.

She managed it signed a record deal

and became its representative.

Many disapprove of the soloists,

had to have guts to do it.

He had to have guts to stand in front of the public

and try to silence the room.

People said, "What
A guy with his guitar?".

My name is Pete Krebs,
'm on tour with Elliott Smith.

There was nothing like this guy.

His right hand was doing something very simple.
I could.

But went a perfect music.

Is, we shared the poster
and even to touch your best song,

would say, "Oh, God." Do you understand?

One, two, three, four.

Remember I am fighting for journalists and editors to hear the disc.

Dirty.

I was frowned on to record with your name.

They were used to hearing loud rock and roll
and politician us

and send them this calm solo disc.

And we could not make Io taken seriously.

We made these

first shows, where there were 10 or 15 guys,

sitting, listening to Elliott playing acoustic
,

and it was amazing.

Portland loved Elliott Smith.

It was SoundScan showing how many records were sold.

It divided the country into geographic regions

and showed how many discs sold by area.

This is before discharge.

It is how many people entered the store and bought the disc
.

Half or 70%

Sales of CD
Elliott in the first year were in the Portland area.

He was a star in Portland,

while the rest of the country was indifferent.

With the first album,
it was not easy.

Nationally, it was a struggle.

But Portland Io worshiped.

And they knew that it was magical.

The less Io think, the happier I am.

I do not care if I fit,
or if I fit in somewhere.

I just like music. That's what matters.

Is not complicated.

John Doe Io led tour.

Boys Beastie Boys
spoke of his album.

She toured with Mary Lou Lord.
Attracted artists.

Other artists Elliott discovered before.

And other artists showed their music

reporters and fans.

Margaret had sent me the song and said:

"We seek a video".

I got the number of the study

in which Elliott had recorded much
in Portland.

I think I had to call
three or four times,

and said, "No. Elliott is
Stop calling here.".

And finally, the fourth time I called they said:
"Yes, he's here."

I went and talked with Elliott.

E
immediately when I heard the first words out of his mouth,

thought, "This guy does not want attention."

Only I said, "My name is Ross,
live in Southern California,

" and should make a video "

And he said." Great.

"
But I do not want to do a video in Los Angeles

" and make a video of that place "

And I said." I do not live in Los Angeles.
I live about an hour north of there.

"If you come and you make a video with me,

" I'll pick you up at LAX,

"We'll go to my house in the country,

" and not have to go to LA. "

Y He said: "Great. I will go "

came and stayed with me a week
week and a half, almost two

And we shot a little every day

And some day we woke up and he said:...

" Today I do not want to shoot "
And just passed out

Suddenly
a friend appears with a hearse

Y says:..." Look at the car I bought! ".

And we said: "Great
Can you be in the video!?".

Carry the hearse to an empty street,

up the hill.

And I said, "Okay, I want to shoot

." Elliott walking and the car behind.

"The car continues and leads Io very slow."

And he said, "Okay".

We filmed that and half,

suddenly begins to leave steam
and the car breaks

and had to call a
crane to take the car.

It was great to have him here...

was like a human jukebox,

Played songs of the Beatles,

was a good guy to have around.

I remember, at one point,
he wanted to dye his hair.

And we were halfway through the video.

And he wanted his hair was green or violet.

He never found the color I wanted,

and suited me fine because half the video

her hair would be green or something,

Io people do not think much.

Just think it's a legendary writer,

and was a punk kid
he was concerned his appearance

and wanted to make sure his hair purple or
out great for video.

I left the airport.

And as it appeared mysteriously disappeared
.

Is it different working on an album of Heatmiser

in an album of Elliott Smith?

- It is very different.
- Yes?

In part it is it's a band or yourself,

and not everyone sees

Io they hoped to achieve exactly.

When you write songs,

differences that will
Io in the songs of Elliott Smith

Io will be in Heatmiser or...?

- No.
- No?

Used to be very easy,

Because only played acoustic stuff,

Heatmiser and did nothing as well.

Y did not seem like

something the band would.

But then began the band Heatmiser

do not just rock, all the time.

I understand.

For all we got tired of that.

Totally.

And there are many strong rock bands,

and after a while, we wanted
no longer do that.

He could see that beginning to worry

that their songs did not turn out as I wanted in Heatmiser
.

We get money from Virgin
and bought our own team.

- Good.
- We rented a house,

and build a studio there.

Was good to have time to do it, rather than renting
few days,

go, colds and could not play that day.

Mic City Sons,
started working alone in her,

and turned out to be the best way.

And then we brought Rob and Tom

attempt to take control and focus.

Once joined,
I stopped being so involved.

There was tension.

He and Tony no...

Rob Schnapf Engineer / Producer

not agreed.

Was angry and different rooms, were going

and did not speak.

I got tired of that in a moment. Said:

"? Can...

" Can we do something "

As often happens in such situations,
with very talented and creative people,

communication is not Best

few months later,

call me and tell me they want to make a video Heatmiser
,

and Elliott insists that I'm the director.

I remember I had left all night
awake with Elliott

doing voices Plainclothes Man.

And we started around 8:00,
but he did not know how to sing.

We work on it a bit,
stop and talk.

And I was with Elliott, we decided
and Io.

And we stayed up all night
just me and him.

It was a great night...

From the silence of the night.

Nothing happens.

Even Io hear when I hear that song.

That is the memory that brings me.

I started working with them
at the moment

everything was deteriorating.

And people realized that Elliott had to be done solo

And make your own music.

Now I realize that fought hard

because Heatmiser
was not the place he wanted for his songs.

Their songs pass through the process of Heatmiser

meant not to leave
way he wanted.

And fought against it.

I think many people end
doing things you do not want,

because they want to reach a quick,
or somehow reach place.

But it seemed that no legaríamos
anywhere.

No sense doing Io we wanted,

because it was not worth trying to move forward.

You see Elliott
rebel against their own music Heatmiser,

and feel that was a very loud band.

Almost we never talk about this.

There was no way he left the band
100% satisfied, feel

because Neil was his best friend.

May be rare,

when someone writes a song

and really knows how he wants it,

but all strive to be different.

You could tell they wanted.

He passed Io But what about the bands.

No matter Io that are artistic, competition always appears

In their minds, even
artistic endeavors.

And it seemed that this was Io that happened to them.

And it is not true.

They were all very talented,

but as we all noticed now

Elliott had the ability to reach another level,

and had to let him go.

Elliott was already tired of playing music

I did not feel it was his.

Spent 10 of those shows kids

suddenly a crowd.

Remember
high ranks of the moon they were full,

and all seated and silent.

And it was like: "the secret is revealed."

When left Either / Or, he filled...

James Clark guitar technician, XO Tour

The lower part was him and his guitar.

Were 1500-1600 people
and not a fly buzzing.

If you did not realize you were
facing a genius,

you were not paying attention.

I knew Heatmiser,
at least for now, left behind.

- Was completed.
Yes. - It's over?

Right.

The idea is to concentrate on your career and your
solo songs.

- Sure.
- It's okay.

Let other.

And this is the new solo album,

called Either / Or,
the second song of Kill Rock Stars.

It Is Elliott Smith in the study.
's Morning Becomes Eclectic.

When Larry and he founded Jackpot !, released Io think

to concentrate on his music.

Io no longer distracted
work part-time or whatever... Io

Drywall or Io that was then.

I think we both thought

once work together better for them

have their own place,

and I think there came Jackpot !.

I said. "I want to be owner of the place

" I do not want to mess with anybody.

"But I will make a proportional contract if you want to come

" and help build and bring your tools

"to work there."

"We will contract covering
place, rent and others."

He agreed, and I think that was
in late January or February 97

that take the place on 20th Street and Morrison.

Microphone cables are a mess
SORRY!

That song!

That song?

- Yes, that.
- The girl.

Okay.

What?

God!

The the girl.

Does the girl?

Finally, when I heard Either / Or

and saw the picture, I said,

"
That sweet voice comes out of this crazy and intense face?".

Not that she was not pretty, but her face seemed
had been in the war.

It was a cute kid singing
sad and beautiful songs.

Autumn de Wilde Photographer / Director

And that was an important part

Io that trapped people,
it was a common face.

It looked like a regular guy.

Perhaps the most personal song you've written is
Say Yes.

Because we could tell that it was Joanna.

Is...

She is amazing.

If songs were treated me, he told me
.

He said: "This is about you
This is about us.".

And that will reach many people.

It is very real.

But that's just out of his life.

She was a great influence on him

in the classical period of Elliott.

His musical talent,
his knowledge, his relationship

is undeniable that she had enormous impact.

Say Yes is beautiful.

I wish the circumstances that became known to be more ideal.

I knew you talked about moving to New York.

- That's right.
- Yes?

Why?
Because there is more access to culture?

I do not know. I have spent time in Portland.

And I lost my band.

And do not go out with my girlfriend.

- So...
- Just...

- Time to go.
- I'm grieving.

I'll feel better in a moment.

Elliott had moved to New York
to get away from that.

The idea of living in Brooklyn was anonymous

that offered, compared
with the experience I had in Portland,

especially the last year he was here.

It was at the time when he became

in a publicly known person.

Writer John Chandler, Magazine "The Rocket"

Elliott, then,
was signed with a company

and gradually became known

regarding the influence he had.

Things had settled,
he had been given power to progress,

He needed to escape.
I needed to get out of here.

He moved to New York, was crazy
because he left a large void in Portland.

Many people missed his presence.

I was very sad not to have him around.

We feel that something representative

better Io Portland he went.

Time he arrived in New York, people knew
Io.

Already had success.

And all Io Good Will Hunting

it was when he was in New York.

By then, it was one of their advertisers,

we were in touch all the time, because he was arming
interviews

Io called home,
and made appointments with the press and things for him.

He appeared with a bag and a guitar.

I remember how surprised I could walk
home

with a handbag.

Gradually, the world took Io.

Going down the street looking for a cab

and saw someone get out of one,
he was Elliott and said:

"Great Want a drink with me!?".

When he came to Portland,
he found a pair of bars

he liked.

Y Luna was one of them.

Owner Rob Sacher Luna Lounge, New York

I saw it every night at the bar,
writing a diary.

Thought I was a writer,
I never imagined I was a musician.

I followed him and went to another bar,
a Polish bar.

We went in and had a couple of old
and a jukebox,

approaches the jukebox and puts $ 40.

And I was very impressed.

I had never been with anyone who decides

control music from a jukebox.

That was one of my favorites
to be your friend.

Should know more of who he is,

plus it was someone
who spoke at the bar.

Then I learned working on the album XO
.

Remember we recorded Waltz # 1

demo version that,
called "Bushmills" digital tape,

that surely had to do with last night
.

We spent four hours recording it.

Letter and then you put...

You look outside and listen to this song

loose with the sound of piano and others.

And he said, "Make a mixture, and we drink."

When Elliott touched us...

Owner Mark Flanagan, Club Largo

God! Yes. That crazy waltz.

What Io played and played and said:
"I have no words, but..."

- And was like, "God!".
- No, I was crazy.

There were a couple of times

Jon Brion Musician, Composer, Producer

that freaked me as a musician.

Important thing to pay attention to their lyrics

is not always about him.

There are character studies.

And Io another to pay attention is often

when seems to get on stage,
uses many archetypes.

Elliott wrote songs
drug addicts in the city.

I knew nothing about heroin.

Io wrote songs that I saw in Portland.

No
always touched on it in his songs.

There's enough of your daily there.

For you feel is real,
and takes half

and Io gives you so that you adueñes

what occurs in your life.

Elliott Io is better here.

The balance between being a production studio
a raw,

and yet incredibly beautiful
emotionally intimate.

For me it is the pinnacle of his solo material.

Are songs.
Is not supposed to be a newspaper, or a speech.

Pictures are made with words.

There is no doubt that, at some point,

itself drugged,

but used drug references

for years before drugs.

I see many things from the window of a car,

but not all places are different,

not that you can not tell
how are the places.

I was on the road and did not care.

He drank a lot.

And calling in the middle of the night, almost every night
, very sad.

And Io doing for weeks,

and did not know what to do.

She was scared.
Was a child, I was 21 or 22 years.

I did not know how to help someone

overcome such a bad thing.

I woke up one morning after a night
of those, and I had sent an email.

"Please, you never angry with me,
if I do something.

" Promise me you will never get angry with me
'

I knew I could not improve on this.

Had sounded all alarms .

And all the people who worked for him at the time

Io had been alerted happened

And the decision was made

That would be an intervention

and that would a lot of people.

But after that intervention,
songs got intense.

Was still angry, but with us
,

his friends suddenly
instead of being angry at something else.

She began writing songs about
us as: "I am angry with you."

I was afraid that did not relate to anyone

and die faster.

My next guest tonight is here
to touch his Oscar nominated song

soundtrack of Good Will Hunting.

Please applause for Elliott Smith.

And I stayed behind Elliott, looking
how it looked on television play

on the Conan O'Brien show.

He had an intensity that was obvious,

as intense as if I touched it,

on that stool on television.

And in that moment, I realized

that Elliott would be a star.

Miss Misery's what I did strangest

as a recording engineer.

One day, Gus got when I was not
and played for him,

Then
did as he had written for the film

to be nominated, and then Io
achieved.

And we say,

"What?"

"You're competing for an Oscar What?".

Was a validation of Io we knew Elliott.

That was great.

It was the night before it hit
face of all this shit,

and I said. "Do it'll be fine."

And I thought, "God, nor would Io".

Elliott's friends did
parties to see it.

I went to the Oscars with him.

On the day of the Oscars, they said

"If you do not want to walk down the red carpet,

" you can enter the back "

I said." Let's walk down the red carpet
".

you were trying not we walk down the red carpet

ended up walking the red carpet behind Madonna

We were not filmed

Celine Dion said...
"Are you nervous? Io're not. "

Yes, and I was But Io said yes
Io to tell me he wanted

Was the first time that many people
outside their closed circle

occurred Io has happened.

It was a rare situation,

and it was very rewarding to see it.

It was good for music.

"You" to all means "win".

All the music that we liked.

PROFILE SKY-ROCKETS ELLIOTT SMITH

You did. We won.

The funny thing is made
my friends and my mother happy.

Made
was easier for her to say what I did.

It happened so fast.

Good Will Hunting What happened
and then Oscar,

and signed with DreamWorks

within months.

Was a good time to make the video with Elliott

because although people looked like Io:

"She does not mind the praise" and others.

He was very happy

having been nominated for an Academy Award.

I was confident.

Wine, appeared on set with that white suit, there appeared

and said, "Let the video, this is great I
I have.".

If you are wondering:
"What do you do with your life?".

He said: "Writing songs, recording them."

I once said: "I like to write, record.

"I would do the tours and interviews

to write and record".

And I said: "I understand."

The XO tour started in 98. There
started working for him.

We turned the world
twice in six months.

With the tour of this disc.

The first day of tour, appeared
a hat on.

Paul Pulvirenti Musician, XO Tour

WHY I command

The tour was fun.

We were like one big happy family.

A Elliott liked me

out before him and photograph people.

Los her smile or something.

He liked that to have a memory.

Wherever we went, people stopped us

and opened their mouths.
He said: "It Elliott Smith".

And we'd say:
"This will be a week of mustache

." We'll see who can grow the best mustache
in a week "

And Elliott was the last to join
said.

"I will not let you grow a mustache."

Elliott was very happy with this show.

First, because we were in Ireland

and also because Elvis Costello
would come that night.

And Elliott is a fan of Elvis.

My name Coby. I am the sound.

I like that.

Mira. I am the type of sound.

The same in Australia.

In Australia we played a huge place.

It was very well received there.

It was a good time.

I can not. I can not do this song.
I touch many times.

The
played hundreds of times and I got tired of it.

And I can not touch it. I'm sorry.

- No, okay.
- Maybe there's another piece...

you finished the Waltz No. 2 very abruptly.

You said: "The played many times."

I had to stop because...

What sense does a song playing poorly?

It's best to play well

touch only because.

When dropped from that tour,
he came to Los Angeles to work in Figure 8.

There
met and started dating a lot.

Felt much pressure XO tour

to be better known.

Y
tried to understand how to deal with that pressure.

Alyssa Siegel Assistant Margaret Mittleman

And his representative, Margaret, he was here.

We think, "Okay, come here
Come be with us.".

It was time to go. It was no good.

When he moved to Los Angeles,
people said:

"You see Elliott Smith".

"It will play at the Silverlake Lounge".
O "has..."

Everybody talked about that.

Everyone knew he was there.

Always said... "I'll be here a few months

" I'll only be here a few months "

When he went to Los Angeles, always explained

it was a temporary situation

Most of these people are
people with whom I worked.

Touching on his records,
producing their records,

We have written songs together.

Speaking of the best people in the world,
Elliott Smith.

Long was a great club in Fairfax.

Largo, at that time, was well known for having very good
songwriters.

It was a very small place,

where Jon played with 120 people.

There was a stage and a piano,
the other side was a bar,

and very cute.

Perhaps too much.
I did not want to play there

because he said: "It's too cute place."

And I said, "Why has tablecloths?".

Elliott got used to go there
Friday night

and hang out there and sometimes up

and doing something with Jon on stage.

Jon The atmosphere created in Largo

Io was something that did grow wise...

The boy came out.

The first time I played at Largo
Elliott was crazy.

People used to talk while he played,

in bars, or where touched in the country,

Io output,
sat and played.

He played a song that was beautiful,
and everyone said:

"God, this guy is great."

Everyone applauded and then sat
one minutes

and said: "They should talk
I are getting very nervous.".

Was more than a place to put on shows,

because he felt comfortable
with Flanagan and Jon Brion.

I was not comfortable with many people.

Things were not easy in New York.

It was not always easy to be friends with him

when he was not well,

but it became more difficult
when he moved here.

It was so prolific during that time that every time
Io watched

He said: "You want to hear new songs?".

And say, "Yeah, right".

And played three to five new songs.

No Io had seen in weeks,

this period is a golden period
to its composition.

That wall has a long history:

"What were they thinking?".

And then: "It's the ugliest
mural I've seen in my life."

And over the years:
"That mural is the most fantastic

" I've seen in my life "

And I think I expected to put on something..

And I said, "Is there something you

" expected do with Io
you want to experience?

"Because we can experience
and discard if we do not like".

And he said: "Yes, everyone thinks

" I want to be in a dark room with dark furniture

"light and dark depressing".

Brought some Polaroids he had taken
of murals in Sunset

and rare stained glass and said:
"And if you're like everyone sees you

" and do not realize that the world
color explodes behind you "

had no means at that time

The Quiet Man

To bring strangers and...

heard one of his songs
and relate to it,

have an emotional reaction and attachment to it,

then approach him and cast him .

It was... It was a quiet and humble guy.

It was... I felt the need to care for them.

I could not sympathize with them

because it would have been very overwhelming

but always said:
"Thank you, thank you very much".

And Io meant.

Valued everyone who took the time to listen
album.

It was very easy to talk intimately with Elliott,

And he struggled with that.

All his life could be very intimate
very fast with people

that after a night like this,
Io were people who did not let go.

I think many people
which is really composer,

and not entertaining, fight it.

John Lennon was asked: "Why
what your songs are about love?"

And he said:. ". Love is the world's largest
Io

" About what else would sing "

According to him, all his songs are...
His songs are like also

We all have to take turns.

Can not be your best friend, all the time
forever.

Almost everyone wants to work
being a singer / songwriter

because they believe it will entitle
a certain kind of attention.

Y can see composers geniuses

as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan
, and say:

"Damn I just have to learn me these two chords

.." And if I put words well, and
I stand right in front of people,

"I give all the prizes."

His work was great on all levels.

Yes!

Paul Thomas Anderson,

after Magnolia and others,

Decided to film something but in a more simple way

with a fixed camera.

Elliott appeared that day and spent more,

and was a little more...

It was the beginning of the end.

Drugs were involved in that.

Passed songs,
and were not great, so...

But anyway, that was...

Cameras things change, and for musicians
,

notifies you that you have one watching you microscope.

I remember I left a message on my answering
.

A few days after September 11,

And had not heard from him for over a
year

he said: "I hope you are well

." And I'm sorry that you did not know me.

"I'm not well, but I hope you do,
and that everyone is safe."

It was a horrible moment, in the world
and where I lived.

But it was the greatest relief to hear that.

I know that was when I was heavily drugged.

It was not a stupid fantasy rock,

associated with drugs.

I think that there were times that,

was also
Io smart enough to know when to get up.

I started to distance myself from him

because it got rough.

I did not want to be a facilitator.

Was tough for him, he was not himself.

Not like always... I do not know, it was crazy.

I was bad, and quit.

Why is not finished,

because never talk back.

He forgot the letter and started again
songs and apologized.

He cuts his set,
and people did not understand what happened.

It was very devastating to see his talent and music to go with it.

Signs all addict, right?

All around you begins to disappear.

Then was that...
After that he decided

try to get better.

We reconnect, and it was interesting

because I said, "Go
is working on new things

!" And seems to come to fruition.

"Maybe we can work together again
and continue as friends."

I called from time to time.

And limamos rough,

and tried to compose himself.

Broadway was driving by and saw Io sitting outside Starbucks

and felt that enough time had passed.

Seeing him sitting alone,

I parked and walked

and told him I was proud of him.

We never re-established a close friendship,

but we saw a few times after that,

and things were fine,
really appreciate that.

He did a show at Crystal Ballroom,

and all went backstage,

and said, "Elliott want to talk."

He said, "About what?".
And I said, "I worry a lot".

It did not look good. And it seemed very...

When you see a friend

and seems to have become an old
from one day to the other,

And he was very fragile.

We knew

the person we wanted was not there.

I hugged him and I
returned the hug and said, "I love you".

And he said, "Me too."

And that was the last time you saw Io.

I think Sam
Io said it best in a song by Quasi.

"Do not hurt the ones you love, you hurt
those who love you."

One night we were in Largo,

and he said, "Charlie sent me a letter."

Was a letter from my father
who had written to Elliott and said:

"
I've had time to think about parenting,

" and I realize that I was
the best father to you and I 'm sorry. "

And remember Io Elliott took to heart.

But it allowed him to close the stage and I think Elliott
Io thanked

And I think that helped.

Elliot Smith died two stab wounds to the chest.

Except for prescription drugs in normal levels ,

no drugs were found on his body

The coroner could not confirm
if the wound was self-inflicted.

The report remains undetermined.

Basement On The Hill...

It is a beautiful music.

Subías the volume of a channel...

you heard him say:

"OK".

And then you heard...

And it was like I was alive again.

It was sublime, as it is there.

Is there, like the air conditioner or refrigerator
resonates it makes noises.

Does not give you account

until it is so quiet.

There was nothing sadder for me
the songs she had not sung,

where the melody is heard.

And the voices are not,
and will always be silent.

Shon "Goldenboy" Sullivan
Musician, Gira Figure 8

felt that the complexity of who he was
faded when he died.

Because people wanted an easy way to understand.

ART FILLS THE VOID!

This is one of those artists

that future generations will discover and rediscover their music
,

and will have a lasting legacy.

He gave us the words we could not find
when we were sad.

And there was much

to occupy any time, any relationship,

And that always makes something alive beyond you.

Do not understand how special
the opportunity they gave you,

able to make art with someone as talented

and so important.

And only years later, I heard his music

and say, "My God was this!".

Hopefully, we can one day overcome
drama,

can overcome the sensational news of his life.

And start focusing on Io that you created.

It would break her heart if she knew...

Let people discover
Io and think that is very sad

Because it was only a small part of
who he really was.

I not say this about many artists.
Io Buying all you have done.

Because everything is good.

Worth everything you hear
Io who brought in his life.

No wonder people keep discovering and sits
moved.

Because I believe that at its best,
is a very emotional and captivating music.

I feel privileged to have seen

and I had the open mind to know

I was facing a real artist.

When we played on stage,

Sometimes he looked at me and I smiled.

I got that look

recorded in memory and sometimes sleep with her.

I have dreams of him smiling.

Is someone else now.

Y had no opportunity
things were not ideal for him

in the body of Elliott Smith.

Y needed another back with a new...

With a new look, a new existence
.

And perhaps something to tell me
myself to feel better,

but it feels real,
so I'm happy for him.

We have another here.

I think this will be the closing song.

You chose to close this album
for some reason?

Because I was happy.

- Has a positive name, right? .
- Yes

We Elliott Smith in the studio,
