Elliott Smith...


Recommended Posts

Don't know if there are many more fans of Elliott here, but I only found out this morning that he committed suicide on Tuesday morning. It's really sad, as he's helped me (and many others, I suspect) through some tougher times. At any rate, the situation warrants a listen to any Elliott Smith CD of your choice. I began my day with Figure 8.

Feel free to share :)

Folkish, I'd say - comparisons to Nick Drake, Beatles, etc etc. Check out his XO album for some of his best work.

He has a new album coming sometime "From a Basement on the Hill"...

I literally cried this morning when I found out. And here the last couple of years I thought I had become too jaded...

Figure 8 makes a few too many references to suicide for my liking (in retrospect)...

I'm so happy, though, to have my signed concert poster/setlist, my picture of elliott all framed as the centerpiece of my music memorabilia collection...right next to Ben Folds, of course :)
