Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the Thumbsucker one is a more polished studio version...

Turns out the Lucky 3 and Thumbsucker versions are one and the same. I'm comparing to New Moon version right now. Best-ever might also be Sweden '98, a great soundboard recording. The song fits him like a glove.

I was on the phone with a friend to whom I had sent some stuff and said "I'll make you an fanatic in four minutes. Go listen, really listen, to Plainclothes Man." I pointed her to a particular live version. She called back awestruck, quoting the song and saying it was the best thing she ever heard. So I'd say the gritty stuff might be the way to turn people on. But everyone's different. The main thing is to have them realy listen--not in the car or as background, but real intent listening.

*sigh* what I would give to be able to have known him

elliott is one of the best musicians portland has ever produced if not the best. he's greatly missed here in the indie capitol

It's an early/alternate acoustic version of Baby Britain. There's a great cover of this version on YouTube...search "Baby Britain Lucky Three". Enjoy.

Is the acoustic song at the begining and in between Thirteen and Angeles an acoustic version of Baby Britan?
