Despite the challenges facing the music business amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there are some bright spots. On March 20, indie music service Bandcamp waived their share of revenue on all sales for 24 hours, allowing artists and labels to support themselves even more robustly. Thanks to impressive results ($4.3 million spent on music and merch, 15 times an average Friday's revenue), Bandcamp repeated the strategy not once, but thrice: the first Fridays of each month (May 1, which raised $7.1

Seventeen years after Elliott Smith's tragic death at the age of 34, his spare, haunting music continues to resonate. On August 28, the Kill Rock Stars label will reissue his 1995 self-titled sophomore album in a 2-CD deluxe edition to commemorate its 25th anniversary. Elliott Smith continued in the acoustic singer-songwriter vein of its predecessor, Roman Candle, with the solo artist's guitar backed up only by an occasional other instrument such as harmonica or drums. Darkness pervaded the

Elliott Smith Either Or Expanded

Two decades after its release, and more than 13 years after his tragic passing, the Kill Rock Stars label will reissue Elliott Smith's breakthrough studio album Either/Or. Either/Or found Smith, then just 27 years old, moving away from the spare acoustic folk of his previous, self-titled album from 1995 and toward a fuller band sound. Smith recorded all the instruments on the album, and tracks like "Between the Bars" and "Say Yes" reflect his growth as an artist. These songs also gained
