The departed King of Indie music!

Ever heard the song "Miss Misery?"

(or "Between the Bars," "Needle and the Hay," etc. for that matter?)

Oh how I love Elliott Smith!

"Between the Bars" is probably my favourite song of his, although "Happiness" comes in a close second.

From the little I've heard from him, I am quite impressed.

WOW! :) "Between the Bars" also happens to be my absolute favorite ("Needle in the Hay" and "Happiness" coming in close).

Ironically, he used to live in a city very near my own. My girlfriend and I listen to him all the time (I got her into him).

I just about cried when he died...saddest thing that happend to me that year...

(Yes, I know how pathetic that sounds, but its sadley true. 2002 was a pretty boring year for me).

Yea an ex-boyfriend of mine introduced me to him (via "Needle in the Hay") and I just fell in love.

My ex-girlfriend introduced me to Elliott Smith; which is probably the reason we stayed friends (just f*cking with you, but she did like good music ;)).

Needle in the Hay was my introduction as well ... but it was from watching The Royal Tenenbaums, not from any particular person.

He is amazing. I was actually listening to some of "XO" when I read the title of your thread, heh.

I've liked his stuff ever since I first heard Waltz #2 played on M2. Much missed though :(

ELLIOT SMITH!!!!!
I love him!

...

Even though he's dead...
:(

EDIT:
At times, I've had either "Bottle Up And Explode!" or "Waltz #1" quoted in my sig.

Actually,I'm a Pete Krebs fan. So, by extension, I have to give Elliott Smith the respect he's due.
