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! |

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... |
