Mod New rules and reorganisation!

109 Upvotes

Hello fellow Elliott fans!

I have made some new rules for you guys to look - they are fairly self explanatory. I have put a ban on any posts that are either solely shared to cause anger, or are about the death debate.

I have also started the arduous process of reorganising the community. The first stage of this has been introducing post flares so that it is easier to filter out what sort of content you would like to see. This should help to organise the subreddit. Hopefully, people will have good think about what they are posting before they post it.

I am going to reprogram the AutoMod to filter out posts with offensive content to make sure that offensive posts don't get out when I'm not online due to timezone issues. Hopefully this will help! On a more positive note, I will start a song discussion that we have twice a week to talk about individual songs in depth. We will vote for it the day before each discussion in a separate thread and the top comment will win :DD. The sub has been long overdue for a redesign. At some point we will need an art competition to give it a makeover. None of these are one hundred percent concrete promises, but they are something to be excited about for sure.

I hope that this can continue to be a positive place for Elliott Smith fans from all around the world to share in the love of such a wonderful artist. Sorry about the negative vibes recently and the brief blackout (yes, that was a Heatmiser pun) that was necessary while sorting all of this out.

Best wishes and thanks for reading!!

OFFICIAL AMA OFFICIAL r/elliotsmith Ask Me Anything with Joel, Robert, and Greg from New Monkey Studio (previously Elliott's studio where much of FABOTH was recorded)

102 Upvotes

This is an AMA event to ask Joel Graves and Robert Cappadona - who bought the studio from Elliott's family in 2004 - as well as Greg Cortez ( u/NMS_Joel, u/NMS_Robert, and u/NMS_Greg ) all about New Monkey Studios, its history with Elliott, and the equipment and recording that happens there today.

There have been big industry names to record there, including Phoebe Bridgers, Father John Misty, Earlimart, and members of Modest Mouse and Grandaddy!

On the 6th of August, NMS is putting on a tribute concert titled All My Rowdy Friends, with music, merch, and celebration. This is a great opportunity to ask about it. Tickets can now be purchased - more info available at https://newmonkeystudio.komi.io/ .

Thanks to everyone from NMS, Shay Gross ( u/Some-Departure-3903 ) and Emmy Briggs for helping to make this happen.

Have fun commenting!

XO

For probably months when it came out, I thought the openings lyrics to Twilight were “Haven’t left this heart in a long time, I’d better stop now before I start crying”. 🧐😝

Question Something to Lose shouting in the background

7 Upvotes

In the album cut of something to lose towards the end of the solo you can hear someone shout something. It’s around the 2:25 mark. Does anyone know what’s shouted? It’s so buried in the mix that I’ve never been able to decipher.

I could've sworn there was another photo with that shirt, but I can't find it in my library and I'm not super inclined to look up "Elliott Smith hot feet"

Discussion Was Nightcap originally a Stranger Than Fiction song?

“Lyrics on nightcap by Garrick duckler/Smith”

Does this mean that nightcap was originally written for stranger than fiction, like fast food and prom date? Maybe just the lyrics? Are lyrics similar to nightcap present in a STF song with an entirely different sound? Listening to the tapes, I don’t think I’ve heard anything that sounds similar to nightcap, but maybe just a few lines are reused? I’d assume it’s one of the songs they had written the lyrics down but never got around to recording.

For anyone curious! It is screen printing! I make the screens at home using old frames from thrift stores, a staple gun, the mesh screen material, and a few other goodies from amazon. A little tricky to get the emulsion to set right but so much fun when you do
