[Littleone7]

10 more minutes and it really will be, here in my time zone. :O

happy birthday, favorite. :heart:


and yeah...noise tracks?:confused:

[Hummingbird]

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe bimbly here is referring to the heavy shit originally intended for basement?

[Bimbly2]

Yes! Those instrumental oddities that were reported to sound like My Bloody Valentine.

[robot hand]

ostriches and chirping extended (feed) mix!

:santa:

[Lyly]

who's preparing the party ?
does Elliott liked chiken flavoured chips ? mh ?

happy birthday.

[either.or.]

noise tracks? i've never heard of those.

[The Sellout]

25 minute coast to coast!

[third]

25 minute coast to coast!

lol

[jetsetvenom]

Happy birthday Elliott!

We miss you <3

[ajmo.]

switch pedal walls of noise please
arcs of early rev's warbs of high fidelity guitars
and a light smattering of piano keys
and ketamine chords
:heart:

[TempodiMorire]

25 minute coast to coast!
I'd kill to hear that(whatever its length,any extended coast to coast would be cool)....i wonder if Nelson Gary continues reciting poetry throughout.. :confused:

[asgoodasdead]

noise tracks? is this an actual thing?

[Bimbly2]

They're very real! They talk about them in the Under The Radar interview.

[pcianciaruso]

Maybe they'll be released in new official packaging titled: "Elliott Smith: NowPeopleCan'tSayI'mLikeNickDrake" and music critics everywhere will have nothing to say in their lousy reviews.

[either.or.]

or a new spin article: elliott made noise tracks, thus proving he did infact fight crime in spandex at night :O

[The Sellout]

screw the noise tracks, i'd take Mr. Goodmorning with vocals first.

*hint hint*

[Fantasy Paradox]

I remember someone saying a noise track was a song where they don't play normal instruments. I remember someone saying some tin cans were played in coast to coast or something.

but yeah, esentially, more noise tracks would mean more Kings Crossings, Shooting Stars, etc.

[Fantasy Paradox]

Oh by the way I have See You In Heaven with vocals.

[ElliottBar]

Oh by the way I have See You In Heaven with vocals.

If your serious, please let us have it!

No, definitely not Kings Crossing. MAYBE Shooting Star. These noise tracks have been described as having a "wall of noise" quality, akin to My Bloody Valentine. It's not about using weird instruments, it's about LAYERS. Layers and layers and layers of noise, and sound, and effects, and pianos, and guitars, and drums.

[Bimbly2]

You're banished to the basement Fantasy.

I know someone out there has the noise tracks and is reading this thread. Probably not even listening to them, as they've heard them so much already. :(

[pcianciaruso]

i have the coast to coast instrumental...

see you in heaven with vocals would be awesome. PLEASE.

[ElliottBar]

Someone has the tracks along with probably more wanted songs...

[Bimbly2]

Mister Grieves knows his shit, listen to him people. A lot of misconceptions about what these sound like... not that I know.. but Under The Radar said something about them sounding like MBV, so everyone go check out Loveless and Isn't Anything.

[donnyidk]

MBV sounds from elliott would be incredible...love that disguised melody thing they do. same with Jesus & Mary Chain...imagine elliott melodies hidden under noise and distortion...salivation starts here.

[Bimbly2]

I think about it, could be amazing! I hear influence from them anyway... in like, Christian Brothers, very MBV.

[asgoodasdead]

Oh by the way I have See You In Heaven with vocals.

pleeeeeese post them!

[ElliottBar]

Fantasy Paradox needs a thread to beg for the song, who wants to make it so the next time she or he logs in she or he will see it. And if she or he is joking she or he must pay.

[Fantasy Paradox]

Hahahaha. Idk I guess people don't know I make stupid see you in heaven with vocals jokes really often?

I DONT HAVE IT.

[ElliottBar]

tsk. tsk.

[Fantasy Paradox]

My bad. thanks for clearing that up. Maybe I'm thinking of layers in teh wrong way, but would that mean Coast To Coast perhaps? I couldn't even hear the poem read under the song until i heard the instrumental. That kind of layering? Or crazy just NOISE.

[asgoodasdead]

is there a live version of "see you in heaven?"

[Mister Grieves]

My bad. thanks for clearing that up. Maybe I'm thinking of layers in teh wrong way, but would that mean Coast To Coast perhaps? I couldn't even hear the poem read under the song until i heard the instrumental. That kind of layering? Or crazy just NOISE.

yeah, to an extent. Coast to Coast has lots of layers of overdubbed guitar lines, and overdubbed drums (which is what makes this song so bombastic). I wish I knew how he recorded those powerful drums (it was Drozd(spelling?) who played them, right?).

[Fantasy Paradox]

No. Not one that's been recorded, anyway. The instrumental's all we've got.

Yeah, he Drozd played them on coast to coast. I think Aaron Sparkse or something like that played them on coast to coast too?

[ilovemusic]

someone hinted about Mr. Goodmorning with vocals i think...thats on elliottsmithbsides ya know...of corse its live

[ilovemusic]

do all of you have Our thing (acoustic)??

[The Sellout]

is there a live version of "see you in heaven?"

there is the arguement that the song evolved from My New Freedom/Doin' Okay, Pretty Good, so in that way, there is be a live version.

This also has yet to be confirmed and there is a fair amount of debate over it. I'm inclined to think that the verse bears more than a passing resemblance to SYIH, so there is probably some connection

[ElliottBar]

do all of you have Our thing (acoustic)??

I have our thing (instrumental version) i don't think it's acoustic

[ElliottBar]

I'm really hoping for a studio version of my new freedom

[Tobias]

my bloody valentine gives me a friggin headache. I'm not even going to bother if people are saying it sounds like that trash.

[aural near]

it won't be like MBV. More like Revolution #9. But more listenable (ie, tunes)

[days_between]

love My Bloody Valentine so I would love to hear those...

i could pass if its like revolution no.9

[johnnyqsack]

number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9.. god no make it stop

[Bimbly2]

Tobias doesn't even like the Beatles.

To the other guy who claimed it would be like revolution 9, the guys from UTR said it was like MBV.

[donnyidk]

(i actually really like Revolution No. 9)


(also really like My Bloody Valentine)


(also would hope for some Metal Machine Music type horrors going on)

[Fantasy Paradox]

Revolution 9 scares the hell out of me.

And tobias is a terrorist.

[ajmo.]

revolution 9 was a seminal track for reasons beyond listenability. in a geeky studio kind of way, and the completion of the transition of live music into something completely irreproachable during the concretisation of the sound desk studio

more noise please.

[Bimbly2]

It may have been a landmark in a few different ways technologically speaking, but it's unlistenable. So, next please.

[CanopuS]

do all of you have Our thing (acoustic)??

Nope... well not the acoustic version anyway. Interested? Yes!

[JacksonAlbracht]

Hrmmmmm. Saying it sounds like My Bloody Valentine is still pretty open ended, I think. I would theorize it sounds like some of the instrumental repeating-type Figure 8 between-song ditties and the psychedelia of See You in Heaven and other Basement pieces.

[donnyidk]

the psychedelia of See You in Heaven and other Basement pieces.

:therock: pyschedelia? never thought that myself, howdya mean psychedelia?

[Tobias]

Tobias doesn't even like the Beatles.

I like 'em, I'm just sick of them. it's been over 30 years now--time for something else.

[xangeleso]

Happy Birthday Elliott, wherever you are! :heart:

:xo: Stef

[Fantasy Paradox]

tobias is a terrorist.

[robot hand]

Oh by the way I have See You In Heaven with vocals.

Hm, it didn't really blow me away either, I'm not saying that I don't enjoy it because I really do but it's probably too sad for me? Plus I've only ever heard the live version

[robot hand]

there's two live versions around and they're a bit different from each other.
so hang on.. you don't have true love studio?!

fer sure - I was listening to Loveless last night, and some of the songs on basement could certainly be classified as MBV sounding by some people.

My guess is the guy that heard them said MBV based on their complexety and rhythm more than anything else, since i cant imagine Coast to Coast shrouded in reverb. That being said, the songs that would apply would be:

Coast to Coast
A Passing Feeling
Shooting Star
Strung OUt Again
Don't Go Down
From a Poison Well
maybe Dancing on the Highway and King's Crossing

The guy reffering to Revolution Number 9 might just have heard stuff that sounded like the background to Coast to Coast; which ended up sounding pretty radio friendly in spite of the wierdness.

Just my two cents though
