I think it’s close to two and a half years back from now that I first heard Elliott.
I had been going through a deep and dark depression. Skipping school nearly every day of the week. Spending my time writing shitty poems, playing video games, talking to people on the computer, sleeping, and hating myself. I did a lot of the latter.

My Guide.

So many feelings he puts into his songs apply to my life, and I love him for being strong enough to share it all to the world.

It’s going to be hard to not sound cliche, but I so sincerely and genuinely mean every word I will say.
I first discovered Elliott Smith’s music really by accident several autumns ago. I was hooked immediately. I acquired every last song of his that I could possibly find, watched and read every interview I could find, stayed up until 5 AM watching live videos, bought several books...

As usual on this day, I’d love it if you submitted stories, photos, or anything else you can think of today that I can post throughout the day in memory of Elliott. Personal things are best! XO

Columbus OH, 03-06-1996.
Elliott: You guys are so quiet... freakin' me out. There's no smoke, there's no beer, nobody playin' darts in the back. There's no redneck who wants to kick my ass after the show... I don't think.
Audience: *Laughter*
Elliott: He might be in the bathroom. It's a good place.

Fan: are you a good typist or are you dictating these answers to some sophisticated broad at this very moment?
Elliott: i type with two fingers and i'm not typing at the moment. i don't think he (the typist) would be happy being referred to as a broad
