Elliott Smith August 6, 1969 - October 21, 2003

Elbow was great. Mellowdrone was good. Too bad the entire crowd was too busy speculating about Elliott Smith to enjoy the show.

Apparently, Elliott Smith committed suicide last night in his Los Angeles home. He was found by his girlfriend with a single, self-inflicted stab wound in his chest.

After a somewhatscandalouss life, this will surely beconsideredd an equallyscandalouss death. I won’t eulogize the man here, since anyone reading this entry is probably aware of who he was, what he did, and what he meant. Suffice to say that we’ve lost one of the most important, talented, and influential songwriter’s in history, and one who meant as much to me as a stranger possibly could.
