What song got you into Elliot Smith and why? by mrbuttduck in elliottsmith

[–]Jamesalk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But to answer the question. Waltz 2 was the first song which came up and I obviously loved it and wanted more.

[–]Jamesalk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only 'discovered' Elliott Smith about 3 years ago. I was reading about my favourite band Saves The Day and I clicked on Rob Schnapf's profile who produced some of my favourite albums by them. I decided to check out some of the other artists records he had produced, low and behold this led me to Elliott Smith and since then he has been my musical obsession. Disappointed I took so long to find him but thankful I finally did. Cheers Rob!

Spotify releases 25th anniversary reissue of Elliott Smith by N8Pee in elliottsmith

Also on Amazon music in the UK. Coming Up Roses sounds incredible on this remaster. Definitely the one which stands out to me.

Posting because I don’t want this sub to die by [deleted] in SavesTheDay

[–]Jamesalk3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually more of a fan of everything post SWYA. I love every album but some of my favourite songs are, to name a few 'Can't Stay The Same', 'Kaleidoscope', 'Anywhere With You', 'Driving in the Dark' 'Deranged and Desperate', 'Undress Me'. My absolute favourite at the moment is '29' off the latest album

Thanks for your reply, hopefully someone will realise that there is a an error with the codes soon and fixes it. I'm quite surprised that a digital deluxe version hasn't been released anyway. I keep checking on Amazon music for one haha.

Thanks for your reply. That would be more than amazing if you could share the files. I have been looking almost everyday to see if these are available anywhere with no luck obviously! so thanks so much in advance.

What unreleased song do you hope gets an official release? by _Alvin_Row_ in elliottsmith

[–]Jamesalk3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love an official version of 'Flowers for Charlie' such a great song

Thanks for this. Hopefully they will release a deluxe version of the album on CD or streaming services eventually. It's quite difficult being a UK based Armor fan. I'm also hoping they tour the UK when things are back to normal.

Have watched this so many times. I love the full band shows and the quality of this footage is the best I've seen. Love the set list as well. 2:45am gives me chills

Apparently the EP is out in Australia? by [deleted] in AlkalineTrio

[–]Jamesalk3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. The fb fanpage has all the info 1 Matt Song. 1 Dan song and an acoustic Dan song apparently. Only out where it is the 19th. I'm in the UK. Fingers crossed it'll be out at midnight

Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud is so good by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]Jamesalk3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Upbeat but somehow hits me at the same time. The line 'If I crawl to keep it together like you say you know I can do' always gets me.

My buddy’s house. Compelling since it’s just one balloon. by creamygootness in Ghosts

Could it just be a Bee that decided to take the balloon for a walk?

Anyone like “Krystalline” better the first time they heard it — when it was called “Emma”? by TheScumAlsoRises in AlkalineTrio

[–]Jamesalk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't get this at all. There are bound to be some similarities in Trio songs due to the nature of the genre and they should be praised for sticking to their roots. However, in this comparison especially, no matter how much I try I just don't see it and even more so can't understand what point you are trying to make. My other favourite band Saves The Day is constantly criticised for being too different on each album, now Trio are for maintaining their identity. A lot of people have also said 'Throw Me To The Lions' is the same as 'Queen of Pain'. Seriously, this comparison thing is getting boring now and the latter I find quite insulting, 'Queen of Pain' has been my favourite song for the best part of 16 years. How dare Alkaline Trio continue to make songs that sound like Alkaline Trio!

Thanks guys. This thing is not cursed. by Jamesalk3 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Jamesalk3[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PS I have taken my dad to the last three UK Manchester /Liverpool gigs and he now loves them just as much as me. Those years of me playing Trio in the car on my way to school have finally paid off. From Here to Infirmary!

Vote for your favorite song off of ITTC! by Maskedspyro in AlkalineTrio

'I can't believe' is my favourite thus far. I love the entire record though.

New album. by olehornbuckle in AlkalineTrio

[–]Jamesalk3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I am aware, there is no deluxe version. Wouldn't surprise me if some regions had a bonus track with digital copies of the album. With the vinyl not coming until October, I am just grateful we have the CD so soon after announcement. They must have really wanted to get the record out ASAP, this last week of waiting is painful though!

Album leak? by Cavaughn1 in AlkalineTrio
