Just been 'surfing' and saw that Beth did a tribute show for Elliot Smith in 2003. Has anyone got an opinion on his music? any good? any recommended listens??

Start with XO and Figure 8 (both of which were recently reissued on vinyl :)).

People like to elevate him to some kind of god-like status...I guess dying kind of does that to an artist, but he did make some very beautiful, orchestral folk-pop that was heavily Beatles influenced. I definitely recommend those two albums.

Thanks for the tip Walrus - will definately check him out!

Dying, especially if you are a musician, does seem to grant that status - i have never heard of him previously!

He had a bit part as the bus driver in that fine motion picture, Southlander.

It's actually a little more interesting if you turn on the "director's comments" track and listen to it instead of the dialogue.

Yeah, they made some comment about getting a non-actor (Beth) and an actor (the guy) together in the snog scene, presumably unaware of the Acting training Beth did back whenever it was...

Actualy, it's worth tracking down on DVD from e-bay, it was fairly cheap back whenever it was...
