My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

Joining us for the final episode of the season is Naima Bock. 

Naima is a London-based musician who started her career in the band Goat Girl. Since leaving them, she has pursued a successful solo career, releasing two studio albums - Giant Palm, which came out in 2022 and Below a Massive Dark Land, which came out in 2024. 

Naima describes Elliott Smith's Either/Or album as foundational for her, so it was great to have the chance to chat.

Today, we're bringing you the second part of our special recorded at New Monkey Studio's All My Rowdy Friends tribute show (held in August 2024).  

Last time round, we had Sara Lov and Mehro on the show. For this one, we're joined by musician Kevin Devine. Kevin was our guest way back in episode 8 of season one, where he selected the Biggest Lie as his favourite song pick. 

In this interview, he reflects on some of the songs he covered at the tribute show, including Division Day, Clementine and Kings Crossing.

This is Kevin in conversation with Elizabeth Withstandley. And do stick around right to the end, as we play a clip from Kevin's cover of Kings Crossing.

We have a special episode for you today. We're bringing you two interviews recorded at New Monkey Studio's All My Rowdy Friends tribute show, which was held in Los Angeles in 2024.
First up is Sara Lov, a musician who met Elliott and played in a band with his Figure 8 drummer, Scott McPherson. Then, returning to the show, is our season 4 guest, mehro. Both interviews were recorded before our guests took to the stage at the fantastic event.
Hope you enjoy this one!

Our guest today is Aaron Lee Tasjan. Aaron is a musician, songwriter and producer from Tennessee. We first connected with Aaron when he played at the All My Rowdy Friends Elliott Smith tribute show in Los Angeles hosted by New Monkey Studio in 2024, and we've been keen to get him on ever since. 
At that event, he played Independence Day - the song he's discussing here. Hope you enjoy it!
