(5.28.07) new moon out now! and unreleased benefit song coming in nov! yay! new moon is out in stores this week! :) as i write this post, europe is lucky enough to get the record in stores now, while everyone in north america has to wait one more day (unless you were one of the first to pre-order the record and got yours in the mail this past week like me). 24 wonderful elliott smith songs on 2 disc or lps. it's truly an amazing record. please get it if you can! there has been an amazing amount of great reviews and features about the record and as fans we appreciate them. thank you for doing that and thanks to everyone who has helped promote the records especially since this record is bringing in some needed money to a wonderful organization, outside in. a significant portion of the proceeds go to outside in to help low-income adults and homeless youth in elliott's hometown, portland, or so please buy the record! we just want to send special thanks to the fans for their support and love of elliott's music, larry crane, kill rock stars, domino recording co. and everyone involved for working really hard to bring the record together and putting it out there for us to enjoy including friends and family. especially elliott's family for sharing elliott's music, honoring elliott's memory to the fullest and putting a lot of love into it. i think we all appreciate the hard work they have done. so please get new moon. it's a really beautiful record and it would be helping out some people out. thanks!
new moon is out this week but there is another compliation to look forward to in november and it is perfect to announce it this week because we want to make as many people aware about it as possible because it's an unreleased elliott and it will help benefit people at outside in! we hope to promote it even more when additional information comes out through out the year! kevin moyer is creator of the 'live from nowhere near you' comp (soon to be comps) and he is putting together vol.2. he was kind enough to send and let us share an email telling us about the song and the compliation. anyway he explains the story better thank i can so here is kevin with more info!: "some background... elliott went to my high school and just down the street was a charity called outside in that we used to go to for free condoms way before we ever needed them. the organization helps in all fashions of good will - teen pregnancy, needle exchanges, and homeless issues. the lfnny effort will have its proceeds go specifically to the street youth and homeless programs and VOLUME TWO will feature a brand new, never heard before elliott song. the title is still being worked out but i promise you that it is a rare gem that has not been released or leaked in any form. back in february i had the pleasure of sitting in with larry crane at the jackpot studios as he archived elliott material and mixed the upcoming new moon album, and we searched for a track to be included on this special charity effort. we stumbled upon something that his family, myself, and the labels didn't even know that it existed until it was dredged it out of his wall of reels. it was a one take masterpiece, dating around the time of the heatmiser house recordings, in preperation of either or or a heatmiser album perhaps... recorded completely, and then forgotten. we date it from this time period because of some of the instumentation used and from the reels that the track was found on. elliott plays every instrument on the track, and of course the vocals. to say the least, i spent at least a solid three months going through old elliott archives and it was both a mentally and emotionally draining process, i hope you can understand, but also very rewarding. i must have cried at least a few times just hearing his voice and the straight to the heart words. anyhow, the light at the end of the tunnel was finding this beautiful song. obviously, being both a friend and a fan, i love alot of elliott smith material and this track has elements of everything that i love all rolled up into one - slow, fast, happy, sad. i really think that you will dig it. well, fingers crossed for a november 2007 release, if you want to stay up to date on info you can add your name to our mailing list at info@nowherenearyou.com or add us a friend at our myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/livefromnowherenearyou and make sure to check out new moon... it is beautiful. we miss you elliott. sincerely, wow there is a lot of news to add to the site including reviews and interviews. sadly, time got the best of me but i hope add more stuff after this week. anyway, thanks again for remembering elliott and i hope you love new moon! xo (5.7.07)
