Music: posthumous "From a Basement on the Hill" due out tomorrow

The family of Elliott Smith, the Oscar-nominated crystalline singer-songwriter who died after a possibly self-inflicted knife wound to the chest last year, are releasing the near-completed album Smith was recording before his untimely demise.



This hits Courtney hardest of all.

Here's a CNN article from a few weeks ago I was saving for this post that talks a little about the album and the circumstances of his death.

Update: Courtney got word that Circuit City was selling the album early, and yup, they are.
