Comment:
My only problem with this mix is that the slower, more introspective songs that define Elliott are at the bottom. The reason for this is because I put the importance of flow first, starting out kinda rocking and gently lulling into the slow and well, depressing. This also was done because I couldn't find a better spot for "Amanda Cecilia" than at the beginning. Despite having some of my favorites buried at the end, I think it turned out rather well.Feedback:
as a die-hard elliott smith fan myself, i have to say this is an excellent introduction mix - any neophyte would be well-served to look into this
"Cecilia/Amanda" is a great song and a nice opener. Nice selection of songs, doesn't look like it gets too deep into his more morose songs (which I like to keep for myself anyway). Could be just the thing to draw in the uninitiated.
PS. Happy yester-birthday Elliott.
