It seems that yet another one of my musical heroes has joined the ranks of the dead or out-of-commission.

I loved this guy's music. You've probably never heard his name, but if you saw Good Will Hunting, you've heard his music. He actually got an Academy Award nomination for it (unfortunately, he was beaten by the crap that Celine Dion sang for Titanic).

Elliott Smith, dead of a self-inflicted stab-wound at 34. The only thing that I can say is, Why?

If you haven't heard him, you should.

I've been seeing notices like this all over the place. I'm amazed that I have no idea who this guy is.

Don't feel bad EM7, I didn't know who he was either.
