Elliott Smith, FTW.

I use Firefox and usually have 20 revolving tabs of various crap in my life.

ONE THING THAT HAS NOT MOVED ONCE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS IS THIS:

<object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zH8-lQ9CeyI&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zH8-lQ9CeyI&hl ... 6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>

ELLIOT DIED YO!

The Aluminum Falcon · Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:34 am

he has some great songs.

I know he changed his name from Steven because he thought that was a jock name. I know he used to be so fucked up playing shows that people would have to be yelling the chords and lyrics at him, he could hardly stand up, would forget words, have to sit down or just walk away. I know some of the last recorded material he ever made wonגt ever be released by his family because itגs some of the most depressing shit ever made, like Suicide Machine. I know he used to do literally over a thousand dollars worth of crack and heroin a day for a period of time, constantly talked about suicide and tried to overdose. I know he had no hesitation wounds so the autopsy came back inconclusive and that he also supposedly stabbed himself through his shirt, which they say is just about the least likely way anybody ever stabs themselves to death in the chest. He had a pretty crazy life.

Hopefully Mindbender can take cues from this guys career and off himself. Girls will find you awesome for a decade after you snuff it.

fucking CHAMPION.

thanks. i'll be researching him from now til I know everything. dude got THE MAGIC.

damn i'm loving dude's shit. i'm trying to find his voice in mine.

heroin and crack? fuck mayne, that's too much.

yeah all i know is he committed hari-kiri and missed his heart the first time. (UM, FUCKING OUUUUUUCH?!) but got it the second time (UGGGH)

Suicide Machine, eh? sounds like a party and a half. hope his family shares some of it. the world needs it

anyone got any more info/favorites? plz share k thx

Generally you open or remove your shirt to see what you're doing but apparently he just went for the plunge.

The family will be the ones not sharing it, they are the reason why songs like Suicide Machine, Abused and Stickman don't get a proper release. Those songs are out there though. On YouTube, on bootlegs.

we're all here discussing Elliott Smith. can't you do the same?

what's wrong with you? why do you take things so personally that i do?

i have ONE thread in here. chill out, dude. i didn't see those other threads. did you see me post in them? i had no idea. i will go check them out. i'm a music lover like the rest of you. stop power tripping and learn how to calm down. i ain't ruining the forum. you actually are with your anger.

chill out. seriously. it's just one thread. and if you'd like, we can continue talking about Elliott Smith instead of me.

i'm here to learn about him, not bicker with you. PEACE

roman candle has always been my favorite release... so gritty

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 3:45 pm

if the discussion IS about the artist and there has been some positive posts made, then i say let this thread ride out. if it takes a turn, well then that's another story.

i have chilled. i have no problem admitting when im wrong, but im just premature on my ejaculation of annoyance from this pest.

i apologize for jumping the gun, but ill merely quote what i posted this morning when this thread turns into:

YALL JUST DONT SEE THE PARALELLS OUR LIVES LEAD, im blessed to have missed my body when i attempted to inject myself with the blood of the ancients that i bought outside my tent.

you dont see the joy that it is to be me with such passion and animal masturbatory predatations that i can be full of such talent and minstrel libations that my fellow humans refuse to admit i am above such a mortal as elliot smith

now back to my opinion of smith, dude's a wuss.
but i liked the good will hunting soundtrack

mud · Post by **mud** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 8:06 pm

I actually appreciate this thread being made.

I'd been meaning to see what the hype was about this dude.

Couldn't get past the 30 seconds of his whining, he's off my to check out for list now, thanks Addi.

i think XO is even better than either/or, because it has some seriously beautiful arrangements to go with the beautiful songs.

unless you limit the conversation to herzog, carpenter, dolph lundgren & seagal.. most directors/actors can easily be thrown under that label as well

Not to mention jello's recently expressed his fondness for Coldplay. Chris Martin would never be gangster enough to even stab himself in the chest with a plastic knife, let alone a dagger sharp enough to pierce his heart and kill him.
