Those people havent listened to Basement.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time. I shall be lighting a candle for him tonight.
R.I.P. Elliott.

I didn't realise it was self-inflicted or murder, I just assumed accidental! I don't really know much about elliot smith except that a lot of people really adore his songs. I'm sure I would too from what I have heard.

I'll send another care package (or should that be kez-package). Yeah Jimmy, Basement is a pretty dark album and kind of makes the indicent obvious ... Its been a while since I've listened to it ... might be the day to give it a spin.
Why are artists that bring us so much joy always the most tortured?

@ Kez, he was stabbed twice in the chest, which is why it seems so unlikely to be suicide, it would take quite something to go back for a second attempt, but I have no doubt that he did it.
I actually had a quite harrowing experience listening to Basement this new years where i was the only person awake after a long night and just completely fell into it, it's truly a resignation- i still have difficulty listening to it after feeling it that deeply.
I only recently heard the message his friends dropped into the album mix of Kings Crossing (if people dont know what i mean then take a listen), it gives me shivers everytime now
