Elliott Smith: Lucky 3 (super 8, sad beautiful Portland)

Inspired to re-post by farhad's wonderful Son of Sam posting.

Elliott in 1996, just before he became famous as a result of Good Will Hunting, before the long alcohol and heroin decline, before he killed himself or was stabbed in the heart by someone else.

RIP. His songs always hit close to home.

Thanks man - I never even knew this existed.

From Wikipedia:

Lucky Three or Lucky Three: an Elliott Smith Portrait is an 11-minute short film featuring Elliott Smith playing three songs acoustically: Between the Bars, Thirteen (a Big Star cover) and Angeles. Between the Bars and Angeles are found on Elliott's 1997 album Either/Or.

The film was recorded on October 17-20, 1996 in Portland, Oregon then released in 1997. The film was directed by Jem Cohen.

The film is available on Kill Rock Stars' Video Fanzine #1 release.

....d'pressin', he had that Portland vibe downpat....UGGUGHHH...

man... shivers on between the bars.

Elliott Smith is awesome. Anyone who can stab themselves in the heart *twice* gets an upvote.

In all seriousness though, Smith is awesome. Love his music. One of the few artists I actually respect and listen to religiously.
