may 2004 new elliott fan site, music for soliders and more tribute songs thanks to brad for posting in the ask charlie a question area, that he has a new elliott site online! its called 'elliott smith media archive.' there you can find information concerning elliott's music, bootlegs and videos including a cool clip and the morning comes eclectic interview. if you would like to check it out, please go here at elliottsmithmedia.com. thanks to sgt. christopher missick and steve, from brickfoot, for sending us a report about brickfoot being on tour in the middle east. brickfoot is supporting u.s. troops with music and playing 1 or 2 elliott songs at every show :) but it is nothing better to hear it from sgt. missick himself about hearing an elliott song and what it means to him: "i can not describe how much elliott's music meant to me, and even that is an understatement. i wanted to let you know i heard the band brickfoot do a cover of cupid's trick...in kuwait. i am a soldier who was deployed to iraq and at a morale event, the band gave a great little tribute to elliott, recommended everyone there explore his music, and then played the song. i talked with them after the show and they said they usually also play "everybody cares, everybody understands." i wrote a short review of the show on my blog, and thanked the band for making me feel closer to home than any singular action that could have happened here in the war." yay! thats really awesome. all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone over there. thank you for sending this to us to share. you can read more at sgt. missick's blog by going here. charles
