This week's guest, writer/DJ/Tech dude Corey duBrowa, brings some deep personal insight to this episode focusing on Elliott Smith and his amazing 1997 record: 'Either/Or'. Corey was living in Portland, OR and running in the same circles as Smith during his rise as a member of the Portland rock band Heatmiser to Oscar-nominated indie solo artist.
