Dammit, I had to go and vote against a perfectly lovely cover of an Elliott Smith song. Did you know he was the best songwriter of all time? He was.

Whoever represents Elliot Smith's estate sent me a warning about possibly downloading an album of his. The quality is awful, but I've got a bootleg of Smith doing nothing but covers. Great stuff.

He also covere September Gurls by Big Star. I'll try to find it later. The guy was supremely talented.
