singer song writer elliott smith was found dead yesterday in his apartment in LA. A single "self-inflicted" knife wound seems to be the cause, although they are investigating all options.
He was a great meloncholy singer that I will miss. I thank Wes Anderson for introducing me and I'm sure many others to him, as his song "Needle in the Hay" was in the The Royal Tenenbaums movie. I was all set to see him perform at the Field Day Fest that was shoddily put together and eventually canceled. Bummed, I missed my chance.
