Elliott Smith - From a Basement on a Hill (Domino)
FB- I thought he was dead
C- .... er... it was recorded pre-death
FB- are you sure its not recorded by Badly Drawn Boy cos it sounds just like him.
C- hey mate BDB ripped off Elliott Smith not t'other way round
DB- both scruffy feckers
FB- do you reckon its his writing in the booklet
C- nah its probably a Domino lackey's writing
FB- he's smiling away in the photo...but he killed himself didn't he?
C- laughter to hide the tears...and it was never proven that he killed himself
DB- like the jerky stoner thing on track 1....dense and rich sounding
C- its a decent record some great tracks that are up with his best
DB- Beatles thing going on then again there always has
FB- Sam Coombes from Quasi is on it!
C- yeah Smithy used to play bass in Quasi sometimes....'Memory Lane' is my favourite......
FB- shame he's not around any more its a great album
DB- its the first thing I've really heard by him....really like it
C- yeah a winner
