He says, "Thank you for coming out" and I say< Thank you Elliott for existing in the same world I do. He is one, if not, my favorite singers because I can relate so much to his music and lyrics, RIP ELLIOTT FOREVER!
It's a testament to Alex Chilton's greatness that 90's and 00's artists (Wilco and ES) can cover his songs and they sound completely in sync with the band(s)' other songs. This is a great cover, impressive that he managed to condense the two guitar parts.
nice cover, true to the original and he did mention it wasnt his song, i hate it when people bring out covers of other peoples songs and pass them off as theyr own. I like this, going on the ipod
He went back in time scribbled it on some paper and looked and said "too simple for me. Here Alex, you're in a career slump. I'll cover it and you say you wrote it. It'll be our little secret" Yeah, :P It's definitely a cover. :) But his is SO good :D
Big Star and Alex Chilton did the original and best version of this, but Elliot did a great cover. I wonder how much effect Alex Chilton had on Elliot Smith. It's almost like like Elliot picked it up 20 years later. Alex dropped out and Elliot dropped in. I think this is a tribute.

Such a beautiful song, two artists who left us way too soon. My favorite song of all time, thank you Alex Chilton and Elliott Smith

Agreed. By far.
I heard the beginning of Quasi's "The Poisoned Well" at the end. Was that just edited in, or was Sam Coomes/Quasi also playing that show with him?
He went back in time
