"Moon, I Already Know" is on Dawn. Holy crap yes. Lost Wisdom has a 'musicians in a room playing music' vibe. Holy heck. Black Wooden has "Marriage" oh crap. There will be THREE studio recordings of "With My Hands Out" which is fantastic. Could mix tracks from Dawn and Lost Wisdom together. Song soup. Oh man.

Elliott Smith / The Softies

Just finished listening to Elliott Smith's self titled album. After I finished, I put iTunes back on shuffle and it went to The Softies' "Selfish" from their self titled EP. I think this is a good opportunity to post some stuff.

Not really much to go off from with Mount Eerie, save for the lyrics referencing past songs.

EDIT: Since this is sort of related, I just remembered/heard one of my favorite parts of a Phil bootleg:

GUY IN AUDIENCE: "Glow, Pt. 2"?
PHIL: Oh, no. Sorry, I can't.
GUY: Aw.
PHIL: (starts playing "The Glow, Pt. 3")
