beNito Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Elioot Smith... My neighbour is a big fan of him... (same haircut, same leather wrist bracelet, same voice when sings, only does eliott smith covers... he's a really good guitar player...) Honestly I started to grow a certain anger for this guy (even if he's dead), and his songs... I mean, I have nothing against him, but the people who listen to this music, shouldn't get too close to a knife or a cliff while doing it, or else they might have some weird ideas.....

perunamuusi Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 is it true he stabbed himself to death IN THE HEART that is pretty fucking hardcore if so i always ignored him in the 90's. but i can't remember why - i dont remember ever hearing anything anyway "we don't own it" from JOAN AS POLICEWOMAN'S excellent REAL LIFE LP (last years best album) is a tribute to Elliot Smith and seeing as I am in love with Joan Wasser, I figure i should check out Elliot Smith (especially if he really did stab himself to death IN THE HEART!!!) where should i start? wait ignore that whats his first album called?

beNito Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 My neighbour told me he stabbed himself TWICE in his heart (He's such a fan that he actually read the medical report of his death) Are you sure you want to liten to this ? :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zaphod Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 get either/or. it's definitely some sad, depressed music...and pbn's observation is actually pretty on the money...the only people i've met that listen to him are emo/indie girls who probably got into him after his death looking for some kind of dead prophet/boyfriend figure to project fantasies onto...just check his myspace for a number of depressing messages about "knowing" him in life and understanding his pain or whatever. i can't recommend his later albums for dreamworks, they're basically just beatles derivatives and i think his music is done a serious disservice with the heavy, lush orchestrations of xo or figure 8.

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The heavy, lush orchestrations of xo and figure 8 are a beautiful thing. Listen to those. Basement on the Hill is also excellent, but it's more of a grower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
