Is Elliott Smith dead? (2 Viewers)

[treesurgeon]

Just the most heartbreaking thing I've known all year. Just listened to those closing moments of Happiness and am fit to break down entirely.

"What I used to be will pass away
And then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness
For you and me"


Another reminder of how fucking trivial everyday life can be, worrying about what bus to get in the morning, worrying about the snare drum, worrying about the bad dream last night. It's just a reminder to appreciate the people you know and carry a torch for...we all pretty much rely on each other and shouldnt forget this...

Eh. Sorry, late night posting is never good. I had a point. Now I just have to sleep. Night, people.

It looks like that rumour was true. This is so awful.

Not as bad as the girl who put a pencil up each of her nostrils and brought her head down on a table with great speed.

That's suicide.

Well I've got some cake mix at home, I can record that and put it onto a CD for you. Although it doesn't make much noise just sitting there. You have to jiggle it about with a wooden spoon or a whisk.

The red box gig was amazing apart from being too full...
It was my birthday and one that is fondly remembered...

I was gonna go see him play a kins tribute in L.a. a few months back,
but I decided against it. Figured it wouldnt be that cool considering
he wouldnt be playing his own stuff.

so im an idiot.

I was actually shocked though when I found out he was a total addict.
I managed to not notice he looked like one in pictures.
Somone wrote this thing about him which summed him up for me:

The songs floated like lullabies, though the lyrics could disrupt sleep for weeks.

it a shame.

You know the bit in Royal Tenebaums where "The Baumer", Luke Wilsons' character, shaves his face, cuts off all of his hair, washes himself and then cuts open both his arms with his razor, all to the strains of "Needle In The Hay" by Elliot Smith. That scene holds a bit more resonance now. Kinda creepy actually.
