Elliott Smith - Waterloo Sunset (Ray Davies cover)
Tonight at IFFBoston, I’m seeing “Searching for Elliott Smith”, a documentary about one of my generation’s great songwriters, and one of my personal favorites. Here’s a recording of Elliott covering “Waterloo Sunset” by The Kinks, featuring a classic Elliott moment. This was recorded at one of my all-time favorite concerts, Lou Barlow’s going away show at Green Street Grille in 1998. Lou Barlow was my introduction to indie rock, so it was a pretty bittersweet night for me. You can download all the songs from the show here, courtesy of the Internet Archive.

David Bazan - Flirted With You All My Life (Vic Chesnutt cover)
Robby Grossman put me on to this beautiful cover by David Bazan of the late Vic Chesnutt’s heartbreaking song, Flirted With You All My Life. This was recorded as part of Bazan’s American Songwriter session.
