Its about one year ago he died (21 oct 2003) and nobody have solved if he took hes own life or got killed. Before he died he was recording an new album called - From a Basement on the Hill,that been realesed after his death reacently this year. Please discuss Ellioth Smith |

|
right. um.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He took his own life, but it'll be debated forever, even if we found some film of it. ''Photoshopped!''. Basment is a pretty good album, it's too bad he STABBED HIMSELF IN THE HEART. I do think his legacy is pretty accurate, though... he had pretty much levelled out and showed us what he could do, but it's still a shame that he couldn't do more of that. |

|
how do you know he took his own life |
||||||||
|

kirk cameron told us. did you miss the seminar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..and God told him. so you know he's fucking right. |
||||||||
|

I haven't heard the new record. I haven't really liked any of his bigger label albums but Im sure Ill get round to this one. |

I really like Elliott Smith especially the untitled album and Either/Or because I haven't heard the other albums ha ha. Personally, I think he died. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like his first two albums very muchly, "roman candle" and the untitled one - almost completely acoustic, I like that more than when he plays with a complete band. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine favourite albums is Either,Or but i only have heard that album and the new album |
||||||||
|
|

I dunno. I just know, I feel it in my heart (!). I trust in criminal investigators, I guess. They've got all kinds of gadgets and tricks and thingamabobs, and if that broad really had something to do with it, chances are, they'd know. The odds are heavily stacked against the conspiracy theories. The guy was a sad panda, when I heard it, it seemed natural. |

the police consists of human beings. you would be surprised how many (dumb) mistakes are made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he sounds sad but it can also be artistic grate fullness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not saying they're faultless, but with today's advances in technology, the chances that he WAS murdered and they're wrong are exceedingly small. There's zero good evidence to suggest otherwise, and THEY know a lot more of the story than we do. I'll even bet my tentacles on this. Heh, I had to delete and repost this as well. Jeepers creepers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well cheers to him anyway |
||||||||

stabbing yourself in the heart is a fucking hard core way to die. respect! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
TWICE in the heart. If i was around 20% more angsty, i would probably weep over a picture of him at night whilst writing terrible, terrible poetry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.Most of my faovourite artist have commited suicide like Joy Division singer Ian Curtis or Nick drake(and whos story is like Elliott Smith they arent sure by the death reason)and The Sound lead artist who produced most of there stuff called Adrian Borland While engaged in recording sessions for another solo record, the depression-prone Borland succumbed to nagging mental illness by throwing himself underneath a train on April 26, 1999. In a letter to his fans written only a month prior, Borland exuded enthusiasm in his new efforts, making his passing all the more sad. |

i remember speaking to medschool friends about this back when it happened and they confirmed it would be extremely painful -- basically an instant, massive heart attack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yikes. I can't imagine stabbing yourself in the heart would be anything less than painful though. Also, even having heard very little of elliot smith's music, it's sad and strange that most of this thread is about how he killed himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your right but hes grate anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

my favourite album is xo. i loved figure 8, then hated it, and now i love it again. of course i'm also in love with everything else he did. i'm picking up the new album in about an hour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine favourite album is Either,Or and Xo And i ve heard hes last album and still rate this albums the best |

I remember when i first heard of his death on the radio. They anounced his death and then played the incredibly beautifull "Angeles". I was at work and i had to fight back my tears. What a crappy day it was... I think he was murdered . "several aspects of the circumstances (as are known at this time) are atypical of suicide and raise the possibility of homicide. These include the absence of hesitation wounds, stabbing through clothing, and the presence of small incised wounds on the right arm and left hand (possible defensive wounds)." Coroner’s investigators also raised questions about the actions of Chiba, and why she removed the knife. "Detectives believe that this death is possibly suspicious, however, the circumstances are unclear at this time," according to the report. |

|
|
Either/Or is the way to go. I love the lo-fi-ness of it all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man, Angeles is such a sad song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really love Elliot Smith's work, mostly his acoustic tracks rather than the ones with a full band (as someone said allready). I like the way they are recorded too. really quite beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at last! someone who agrees with me. yes, their lo-finess is quite delicious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acoustic? Lo-fi? And stuff? Do you like jeffrey lewis? Because he is Proper Great. I am illegally hosting a track by him It is not the one called "pandas.wav". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from a basement on the hill is hands down his best album. beautiful and meaningful and low fi low fiw erwoitueioawugs low fi i hate qrter and his pretentious biases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

let's elope to alberta and only listen to nick drake's lo fi albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alberta, is that the lady version of albert? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's how this threesome is going to work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case, i accept. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alberta is pretty, especially banff. |
||||||||
|
|

triple j ( an australian radio station ) has a special segment on Elliot Smith right now, talking about his life, his band/s and his music and everything. It is really good, goes for a few hours ( maybe 3-4 ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heard his song tonight. He was great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The drums on Miss Misery are very Beatles. Who ever produced that music really must have studied the Ringo technique |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not a very interesting artist to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from a basement on the hill is hands down his worst album. either/or and xo 4eva. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His music is probably good but it does not catch me. Perhaps it's my ears... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there will be a new 2cd compilation out in the 8th of may with (mostly) unreleased elliott smith material called . the majority of this stuffed leaked out 2005 (and some of it later) and is on the "basement II demos". i'm looking forward to hearing this properly mastered though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one. some of those songs are my favourites. optimus - i used to think the same, but it's a grower... really.. it's truly amazing. almost as good as XO (which is 100% pure brilliance) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's an unfinished song called 'True Love' which I think was recorded in the Basment... sessions, I recommend it. Although its pretty sad to think about what he's singing about. Oh well, one can be objective about these things. |
||||||||
|

everything means nothing to me. |
