Terrible loss last year.  He was one of my favorite songwriters, and had an amazing voice.  I only saw him once, in Newport, KY, with Grandaddy opening-excellent.  I look forward to hearing his final recordings.  Has anyone heard when they will be released?

I absolutely love elliott smith. His death really hit me ya know??
The first time I ever heard his music I knew straight away that he was special, and I was really into Nick Drake and the Beatles at the time so you can imagine how I felt when I heard him for the first time!
His best album (I think anyway!) is either/or. What about yourself?? I personally loved xo better to begin with but my fav album is always changing!!

I think his music is really beautiful, even though I still don't own any of his albums, but I do know a lot of his songs.

I too had heard that.  Something about the girlfriend "helping" him.

Don't believe a word of it.  ES was probably depressed enough by himself to do this...

I don't know about that.  Te made no official decison.  In other words, they did not rule it a suicide because of contributing factors that did not measure up.  I am not saying that his girlfriend was involved but there was some suspiscion that something else may have been going on.  Cearly, the guy had drug problems.  And as we all know, he was an amazing artist.  A tragedy.....

his girlfriend was in the other room when he did it and she pulled the knife out to try and save him but it was a definite suicide

Go to google and put in Elliot Smith Police report and Smoking Gun has the official police report. It calls out in the report that several of the aspects were not consistent with suicide and that it rasies the possibilty of homocide.  Take it for what you will.....
