tunes: Elliot Smith

I've had the posthumous New Moon on heavy rotation this week, and it's even better than I originally thought.

There are no duds, a lot of strong offerings and a couple of tracks (New Monkey, All Cleaned Out) that are as good as anything in his catalog. And this is high praise coming from a guy who thinks he's the greatest American songsmith since George & Ira Gershwin were still lighting up broadway.

It also provides a hit for both sets of Smith fans- electric and acoustic.

Check it out.
