I'm not a big music person. Usually when Mike Oz is talking about bands I should hear, I tend to tune out (but I'm all ears when you're talking about Nintendo and The Karate Kid, Mike Oz - I swear).

I am, however, a fan of Elliott Smith's music, so when I read on Best Week Ever that a web site called The Rawking Refuses to Stop! planned to compile 47 of Smith's live covers over the course of this week, I had to check it out.

Although he was nominated in 1998 for an Academy Award for Best Song (for "Miss Misery" from Good Will Hunting) Smith wasn't exactly a household name - even after he killed himself in 2003. But his music is timeless, mostly thanks to his haunting and ethereal voice.

Like I said, I don't know much about music. I just really dig Elliott Smith. If you listen to the song "Twilight" you will dig him, too. Check it out. And check out The Rawking Never Stops, where there is posted 12 MP3s of Smith's Beatles covers right now.
