  My favorite picture(s) of Elliott Smith.

  (Please click though and take a look at the larger versions)

  I’m pretty sure they were taken sometime after I saw him perform in 2000 at the Palace in Los Angeles. With him are Joanna Bolme and Sam Coomes of Quasi. I’ve been told Joanna and Elliott were dating at the time.

  Joanna and The Minders were opening that night, and I distinctly remember her wearing the Portland Blazers #8 Steve Smith jersey-shirt during that set. Elliott came out and played with them on their last song…wearing his Willie Nelson shirt.

  Later that night, when Elliott came on to play his set - they had switched shirts - Elliott in the Blazers shirt ironically bearing his name on the back, and Joanna emerging wearing Elliott’s Willie Nelson shirt.

  I thought it was a pretty sweet gesture at the time, and looking at these pictures now only makes me smile.

  For more Elliott Smith (also Beck, Miranda July, Michel Gondry, Spoon and more) pictures, check out Autumn de Wilde’s website.
