Free Music Friday: Elliott Smith


Today is Elliott Smith’s birthday. Had he not stabbed himself a couple of times, he would have turned 41. That sucks. Not the turning 41 bit, but the fact that he isn’t here anymore because he stabbed himself a couple of times. I really liked him better when he was alive. He was, in my opinion, one of the best song writers we’ve ever seen and heard.

I saw him live several years ago in Denver. It was one of the more… different shows I’ve seen. He obviously wasn’t in a good place and that probably had to do with the amount of heroin I’m sure that he had booted over the course of the day.

Fucking heroin.

At any rate, in honor of his birthday here is a link to a bunch of info about Elliott Smith and a couple of songs. The songs are buried in the page but they are there. I’mnot linking directly to them because I think everyone should take a moment today and remember Elliott Smith and read a bit of the stuff that’s on the website. So click here to head to Elliott’s website and to download some free Elliott Smith songs.

And just because it’s his birthday today, here is another little reminder of how great he was.

Damn I miss this guy.
