Seth Avett does a gorgeous cover of Elliott Smith's "Angeles" Seth is one-half of The Avett Brothers, btw.

Well, actually I guess he's technically one-quarter of The Avett Brothers...

Cool song, but I don't know any of the artists you mention. Seth's a cutie, too, though he appears to be hiding out in a small plywood box.

Oh BoPo, I don't know Elliott Smith's work too well, but I think you would like this song and video by the Avett Brothers.

You're right, amro! I think you've posted this before, but I hadn't connected the dots. I LOVE it.

I love the video more than the song, but still.

I'm a huge Elliott Smith fan (and not really into the Avett Brothers, but I'll admit I haven't tried very hard) and dislike covers of his songs almost always.

But this was lovely. Thank you for posting it :-)

Bad video, lovely song. Really enjoyed listening.

Elliot Smith's Twilight would have been in my all time top 40 list if i had been able to complete that task.

Fantastic cover of a fantastic song. Reminded me a lot of the album Sun Kil Moon did of covers, one of which was a great rendition of Modest Mouse.
