Singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, 34, was found dead Tuesday by his girlfriend in the Los Angeles apartment they shared. He apparently stabbed himself in the chest.

Smith was a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter whose atmospheric compositions and Beatles-esque melodies hid dark lyrics about drug use, death and personal anomie.

That really sucks. Anyone who's seen Good Will Hunting, or The Royal Tennenbaums has heard the work of this amazing artist. If you haven't heard his music, you should do so.

'Tis a sad day...

give me an example of his songs. I will try to give a listen.

I just heard about this 5 minutes ago, I got on to research it and see if it was true.

It's a sad day, though it was a day that was coming. He also sang of such things.

Rla, my musical respect grows for you each day.

Oh, and for people who describe suicide as a cowards way out; you stab yourself in the chest with a knife, that takes balls.

Titan · 10-22-2003, 10:07 PM

Unlike consuming cyanide. Is that not suicide?

Pliedes · 10-22-2003, 10:09 PM

True. But that doesn't apply to this case.

Titan · 10-22-2003, 10:09 PM

I'm well aware of that, I was just going off of what you said:

"Oh, and for people who describe stabbing yourself in the chest as a coward's way out; you stab yourself in the chest with a knife, that takes balls," would have been sufficient.

Fair enough. I was just trying to precurse such a statement.

Titan · 10-22-2003, 10:16 PM

While we're on it, I don't think that's an actual verb.

Pliedes · 10-22-2003, 10:20 PM

I'm sure its not. Doesn't bother me a bit though.

My thoughts exactly.

Titan · 10-22-2003, 10:32 PM

Obviously you didn't understand what I said.
Perhaps it's because I wasn't using proper words.

rla128 · 10-22-2003, 10:35 PM

You people sure do like going off on completely nonsensical and overal useless tangents, don't you?

And about my musical tastes... I just like music. Any much I can get my hands on, I'll listen to, and I can generally appreciate pretty much anything.

Now--come on, come all, and pay your respects to this wonderful artist.

Yeah, is that a problem for you?
Too bad.

If only more people were like you; more brownie points for the human race.

Schroeder · 10-22-2003, 10:57 PM

Stabbed himself in his own chest? That is tough. Certainly not a cowards death.

Titan · 10-22-2003, 11:04 PM

Sorry to bring this up, I'm not trying to nitpick or anything, but I just noticed this.

You have a whopping 737 posts on here. I would say perhaps about 20-30 were decent, relevant, humorous or worthwhile posts. That makes me really sad. I just realized that we don't hate you enough.

rla128 · 10-22-2003, 11:10 PM

Maybe it's all one big joke?

Schroeder · 10-22-2003, 11:22 PM

Like my whole life?

rla128 · 10-22-2003, 11:30 PM

Most likely.

Gah! No! Must... not... get... off... subject!

Ugly Bastard · 10-23-2003, 01:00 AM

Oh Holy Shit!

This really threw me off.

I love Elliot Smith. For those of you who don't know who he is, he did the music on Good Will Hunting.

Yesterday (I shit you not), for the first time in over a year, I did a search on Kazaa for him and got a few of his songs I didn't have....and now this.

This is really sad, he's one of those guys I always hoped would come to Ball State and do an acoustic set or something like Rufus Wainright did last year.

May God bless his family.

Don't worry I heard Englebert Humperdink will be touring soon... He'll make you forget whatever his name is. (see I can't even remember his name.

the_butcher · 10-23-2003, 01:43 AM

Ugly, look what you did. Elliot was fine until you decided you needed to steal some more of his music. I bet he sat at his computer and watched...he probably decided the next time someone downloaded one of his songs for free, he was going to stab himself. Fucker.

Oh well, I have respect for the guy just because he has the balls to stab himself in the chest. Stabbing someone else wouldn't be a problem, but yourself? Fuck man. Hard-fucking-core.

Ugly Bastard · 10-23-2003, 09:30 AM

It was the Pirate's life for him.
