apparently alot of people think he was a great songwriter and he killed himself. Never heard of him before this thread. BTW, the Oscar's are for housewives.

instead of looking like an ignorant dumbass how about you do a little research before you post.

I hadnt heard of him either before he died. Then I realized they used a song by him in the suicide scene in Los Tenenbaum. I liked this song and is the one I remember from that film.

THAT francis is why i'm searching for his performance. I love his songs, but missed out on the Oscars that night.
I didn't even know who he was then, but how cool is it for an independant artist to get up and perform for that crowd, as well as being broadcasted worldwide. Besides it was huge recognition for Elliott as a songwriter.

It wasn't like that. Everything Ive read says he stabbed himself on the chest twice. Isnt it pretty impossible to stab yourself in the chest twice? Wouldn't your muscles lock after the first stab?

I don't get out that way much but I was in Silver Lake and its was really freaky hot that day. When I got home (to the beach) I heard they found his body there, where he lived (in SL and no, I didn't do it). He was trying to get clean for a while.
drugs are still cool. apparently.

Elliott had been clean for a while when it all happened, after a succesful rehab. And the new double-cd was almost finished - now it's up to his family if they're gonna release the record or not.
Would love to see the movie from the Oscars too.

Don't mind the php-error in the beginning.

Wow... not listened to XO in years and now I know why. I think all this time I've kept this album and Roman Candle totally out of my mind because of ex-girlfriend memories. 3 songs in and it's like I can totally remember like it was yesterday just laying on a bed talking and this playing in the background. Why does music have to fuck us up so much like that?

Elliott Smith in the studio just messing around. Casually busts out some Rachmaninoff. Or rather, punk-Rachmaninoff.
And of course, the classic.

I enjoy Elliot Smith, but because of reasons similar to mg33's, I can't listen to it often or I want to off myself as well. Funny how powerful music memories can be.
