Lame video but nice song. Wish he wouldn't have killed himself.

I love his music.

Was kind of sad when he killed himself. has it already been several years? wow.

I have made a lot of "Indie for Beginners" CDs for a lot of folks and Miss Misery has been on every one of them. Memory Lane and Waltz#2 are also currently in rotation on the iPod. He created a memorable body of work in a relatively short time.

That sounds cool. You should post some of your playlists.

I really enjoy artists who sound like they believe what they’re saying (singing). He was very earnest.

Where I part ways on the earnestness front is self-inflicted steak knives to the chest.

stabbing yourself in the chest has to be the most committed way of offing ones self. That has got to hurt.

One of my favorites.....

I used to make emo CD's for the kids in my ward when they would tell me they were emo. I would call it "Finding Emo".....boy were they shocked to learn the bands that were emo compared to what they were listening too.

I remember when he played at the Oscars (?). It was weird to see one lone guy with his guitar, playing an earnest nice song, in the midst of all that Babylon.

Danimal and I were just talking about Elliot Smith the other day and how much we enjoyed seeing him many years ago at DV8 in SLC. We were first turned on to his music from Good Will Hunting. Yeah, I'd love to see him again. Too bad he's gone.

Same. Good Will Hunting was what made me get into E Smith.

I liked them apples.
