*Elliott Smith

I came across this a few months back, but it's too good to keep to myself. It's a group of unreleased Elliott Smith songs entitled Basement II Demos. They lack the instrumental layer his last three albums contained, but that's because they weren't exactly expanded on. These are the raw flesh and bones of Elliott Smith. This is probably what From a Basement on the Hill originally sounded like before Jon Brion, among others, took a crack at it.

Here's a few (of my favorite) tracks off Basement II Demos:
Elliott Smith - "Angel in the Snow"
Elliott Smith - "New Disaster"
