I could try and convey the profound, intimate beauty of Elliott Smith to you. I could try to explain why his earliest works are best. And I could try to impart a sense of the windfall that is New Moon - a collection of demos, radio performances, and tracks otherwise left off the seminal Elliott Smith album and his masterwork, Either/Or. But (as Elvis Costello once said) writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Have a listen instead.

 In softball news, The Jam played its season opener against the Tim Mullins All-Stars this past Thursday. After giving up 12 runs in the first two innings, the Jammers buckled down and played great ball, shutting out the All-Stars for the remainder of the game. The Jammers' rally was fueled by Dwight Yellen (pictured) with 3 hits, and newest Jammer Steven Leidenfrost, who drove in 4 runs. In the end, we came up short, losing 12-7. The Jammers' next game will be June 21 against the Red Cross. |
