elliot smith was a really gifted, if shy, singer/songwriter who wrote excellent indie/folky/slow-fi type stuff. really clever stuff. he was featured on the sndtrck for Good Will Hunting and the Royal Tenenbaums sndtrck [one of my faves] among others. he's compared to joseph arthur, nick drake and beck and he notes the beatles as a major influence. he just did really great stuff. i encourage everyone to download a couple songs. give him a listen. he's dead. suicide with a knife apparently.

BILL WYMAN-alive at 67!!!!!!!
I am going to be honest, I never heard a thing about this guy until I heard he died. I will need to check him out, but it's too bad that it takes someone to die for ppl to take notice. Not that I was ignoring him, I just don't know much about movie industry ppl.
No, you were definetly shunning him from your musical life.
Wow, I can't believe you just called me out like that.
I'm sorry, but you just can't keep on hiding like that..deceiving people.
XO is a great album. The guy was a great musician.
oh man, I got started getting into him, how did he die?
"suicide with a knife apparently." READ, confound you!!! they're gonna do some tests and find out exactly what went on. foul play isn't suspected at this time.
oh, i missed that. That really stinks he was extremely talented. Nick Drake killed himself too
majorly sucks. such talent and potential. all gone.
yes it does. which is his best album, im not sure what to get. I just got XO, its really good, does he have any other good ones?
'XO' is a good one. 'Figure8' and 'Either/Or' are VERY GOOD too.
cool, thanks. I'll check em out
