A.) is this the Elliot Smith message board?
B.) why don't you leave the grieving to someone who knew him--like his family?
Dumbass.

there are posts like these on many music related message boards right now. there always seems to be someone who gets upset that other people are mourning him. what the fuck is wrong with it? even though many don't know him personally, they were connected with him through his music. isn't that enough for a SIMPLE mourning post? I mean of all places, the xiu xiu board should be an acceptable place to share your feelings. it's bad enough people are already profiting off of his death(merch on ebay, and some asshole is selling mass amounts of 'rip elliott' shirts, etc). stop throwing your dick around.

regardless of who the person is, this kind of event is always a serious and very sad occasion. the use of drugs and the rampant depression ruining the lives of people across the world is awful, and discussion of it is a good thing. people who are too punk rock to care, and who don't have the guts to put their name beside the shit they spew, are fucking pathetic. especially the person who took lightly elliott's means of suicide...shut the fuck up. if you want to spew shit form your mouth, go to some casualties message board or something. it's so sad and pathetic to see people who are so insecure that they have to make fun of atrocities to seem tough. you're not tough, you're a fucking coward.

Formica/Josiah
What you have to say is moot. If you absolutely had to talk about Elliot Smith because "oh my God my life is so pathetic that my mood is balanced on the life/death of some more famous person" you would go talk about it in the section of SHZINE entitled: "General Discussion".
I prefer to be anonymous. You prefer to have a name. You prefer to have people contact you. I don't. It's a matter of choice that has nothing to do with this subject.
Who knows if he was seriously on/off drugs at the time?
Lots of people who AREN'T depressed and AREN'T on drugs kill themselves. If you think I'm making fun of atrocities, I compel you to watch the news every day. You'll find there are a lot of worse ways to deal with things than laughing at them.

i wasn't only referring to the posts on this message board, i was referring to the fact that it's so lame that people can't express concern or sadness with issues like suicide or whatever without assholes trying to make a point giving them a hard time. and the death of elliott smith does raise more issues than just thinking of how sad it is that a famous person dies. it raises issues like how ridiculous it is that people can get so isolated because of their fame, and they become a spectacle rather than another human. but whatever, and fuck whatever your response is going to be.

this from someone who knew him:
Producers Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock remembered Smith's creative drive and an often jovial atmosphere in the studio. "People've been asking me, like, well, was, you know... was [Smith] just a miserable person?" Schnapf said. "And, uh, no... we had a lot of fun making these records. For example, XO, a lot of it was made in a wig... you know, we were wearing wigs... we weren't all depressed, we weren't shoegazing the whole time... it was fun, it was really rewarding."

I don't think it's hard bringing that up in General Discussion. Do you think it's hard?
Maybe he was just crazy.
Oh but you've already said fuck my next respone. That's great because I would really rather have this conversation end.
