Well, this is a bummer.

Today would have been the 43rd birthday of songwriter Elliott Smith. I celebrate it every year, and every year it makes me sad. So I’m passing my bummer on to you… If you follow the link on his name, kill rock stars are doing special releases of his material today for his would-be birthday including a reissue of either/or and a digital release of Elliott Smith: the early years. Happy Birthday Elliott. Also, killing yourself makes you a real jerk

Here is a weird interview with him.
