Possibly I'm one of the few here on Ironworks who are actually familiar with Elliott Smith's work, but the lo-fi singer/songwriter behind brilliant records like Either/Or and XO has died last night at the age of 34. Exact details are still unknown, but it is believed he died in a hospital after a suicide attempt, tragically drawing another comparison with his big source of musical inspiration Nick Drake.
He's best known for his surprising Oscar nomination for his work for the Good Will Hunting Soundtrack, with "Miss Misery" nominated in the Best Song Category - other well known songs and classics include Waltz #2 and Sweet Adeline. May he rest in peace. [ 10-22-2003, 07:41 AM: Message edited by: Grojlach ] |

hopefully now he has the peace he seemed to have been after... suicide's never a fun thing to come to terms with, but at least you have the music he left behind man...

[/QUOTE]Actually he isn't that obscure (nominated for an Oscar, sold relatively well), it was more of a standard opening routine as I'm unaware of his popularity here on Ironworks and in result a little unsure about the responses to it... No musical snobbishness intended whatsoever. |

You two are in a funny mood, if somewhat misplaced...
*grabs broom* Shoo, shoo! [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] Now you either say more considerate things about the genius that was Elliott Smith or you take your conversation to another topic. I've got a broom here and I'm not afraid to use it! [ 10-22-2003, 08:28 AM: Message edited by: Grojlach ] |
