Go Lindsey. I have been an Elliot Smith fan for a long time. He's amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone, especially the albums XO and Either/Or. Shoot, just get them all. If anyone has seen "the Royal Tennenbaums" you've heard him. In fact, get "the Royal Tennenbaums" soundtrack if you haven't already...ok, I am totally OT here.

I often wonder if Kristen is influential in getting Lindsey into a lot of these artists he's been listening to. I've read some of his lists and heard him mention artists and he names some incredible stuff. How many people even bother with Plastic Ono Band? It's like one of the greatest albums ever created by anyone but most people will jump the Macca-had-more-commercial-success-and-thus-must-be-better wagon.

Go LB!! Radiohead is brill, it's been established ad nauseum by anyone...but I still love hearing him mention them. Takes me back to high school and the Bends.
