That's a dumb and awful thing to say. Besides, as already stated elliotts smiths death hasn't been completely substantiated.

On a slightly more relavent note, I don't think its such a good idea to draw comparison's between these two artists. They're both soloists and play acoustic music, but that's were the similarity ends. Rice is a much more poppy, david gray -style singersongwriter. I personally like both artists, but in different ways.

oh hey, your "doctor" called to tell me that you haven't picked up that repeat of your prescription for your "happy pills". you should really get onto that. maybe they will help release some of that apparent rage you have a little easier and also aid in calming you the fuck down, w0rd.



i don't think it's so mcuh of a comparison, maybe, but more of a "elliott smith owns damien rice a thousand times over whatever!" kinda thing. well at least for me.

I'd say that's a fair judgment. Not that I don't like Damian Rice, he just doesn't have the same talent for song writing.

Personally I think Damien's music is breathtaking. To me, music should touch a person, make a difference... and that's exactly what Damien's music does for me.
I respect the fact you don't like him as much as Elliott Smith or any other person or band, but you shouldn't judge him this easily.

Oh and it's DamiEn with an "e".

I wouldn't say I'm judging him too easily. I've given him more than a fair chance. I just wouldn't rank him up with Elliott Smith is all.

1.) I was half joking
2.) Its the truth. I have a hard time respecting someone who kills themself. There are always ways out of trouble, no matter how bad.


Yes. Yes. Although I doubt his girlfriend would have stabbed him.
