Sad news
p. My brother told me some sad news today; it seems that neither of us had heard that “Elliott Smith(Official Fan Site)”:http://www.elliottsmith.com/ had “died of an apparent suicide(NME)”:http://www.nme.com/news/106511.htm in late October of this year. He was 34—one year older than me.
p. We are both big fans, so this was quite a shock. His music sometimes reminded me a bit of [“Nick Drake(A review of An Introduction to Nick Drake)”:http://www.rousette.org.uk/mt-static/blog/archives/000466.html], which—given that they both met a similarly sad end—seems somehow appropriate. Goodbye, Elliott—I’ll miss your music.
