A friend put me up on him a while ago. Great voice, strong melodies. He was really unique...he also died young as most musical geniuses tend to do. he stabbed himself in the heart

Elliot's dope.. He lived in my hometown for a grip..
I won't act like i'm 100% up to par on his music.. but I've read a gang of shit about him and heard several of his records.
I've got a verse or two written where I'm trying to talk to him about looking out for other writers as a spirit..
I think the new NME lists him in the top 15 or so of influencial music writers..

As far as ways of committing suicide goes, I'll agree... however, committing suicide in the first place is extremely emo. What's even more emo than that? threatening to but not having the juevos to walk the walk.cascarrabias wrote:I forgot to add that stabbing yourself in the fucking chest is very, VERY un-emo.

He also attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff. Folks who dismiss his music because it's "emo" are probably closet cases. Nick Drake was emo too, so what? Him and ES just happened to be better at it than all the dorks who gave that title a bad reputation.
When we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

Agreed. I hate that term almost as much as people who use the term "butthurt."Icesickle wrote:Can someone name a musician who isn't emo?
If he screamed constantly about some nonsensical bullshit while playing monotonous off-key riffs would that be less emotional?
...I don't even like the dude that much either.

i dont enjoy heat miser (ES's band) nearly as much as any of elliotts solo efforts... but it isnt that they arent good, its only that the particular sort of punky rock they play isnt my cup of tea, i simply would rather hear the folky acoustic sound elliott has.
cop and the speeder is probably my favorite heat miser album

The coolest Elliot Smith song I've heard so far is "Needle in the Hay". I have had the self-titled and XO for a while and have listened to them passingly...good stuff but I wouldn't say he's an incredible artist or anything. That might change once I listen to his music a little more intently.

One of his better songs isn't on any of his albums. It's called "Miss Misery," and it's on the Goodwill Hunting soundtrack. Check it out.
Very talented guy with a lot of problems. It's too bad he could never get his life together. He was a perpetually recovering drug addict.

the scene in the royal tenenbaums where richie attempts suicide with 'needle in the hay' in the background seriously gets to me.ChristPuncher wrote:ayentee wrote:just made a elliot smith mix

i don't have the mp3s on here for some reason, but i think either/or is his best work and a must for people who want to hear more. i'm sure i could track it down if people are interested.
