Elliott Smith

An Elliott Smith documentary is set to debut at a film festival in Los Angeles soon. Read an interview with the film's director, Gil Reyes here. Interestingly, Smith's music does not appear in the documentary. His family did not grant permission for the music to be used because the film included Smith's girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba. Chiba was involved in the open investigation into Smith's death which was initially reported as suicide and later questions were raised about possible homicide. Read more about the circumstances surrounding Smith's death here, and here's the autopsy report from the Smoking Gun.

Check out some previously unreleased songs from Smith on TwentyFourBit.com. And enjoy a few songs below:
