My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

S4 Ep10: Dorien Garry

Listen Later
Today, we're joined by Elliott Smith's close friend and publicist, Dorien Garry.

Although they had already known each other for a little while, the two cemented their friendship when Elliott moved to New York City in the late '90s and stayed for a while at Dorien's apartment. At this time, Dorien was also working at Girlie Action, the PR agency that represented Elliott.

So, in this interview Dorien talks about their friendship, how it developed over the years and how another one of their good friends in New York inspired the song she’s chosen to talk about today.

Hope you enjoy it!
