"Brian Eno/Elliot Smith can be "too sad", okay fine, maybe. But what psycho only listens to "happy" music? What is the point? Where is the feeling, the yearning, the struggle?"

"this is the first song i recommend to anyone who is interested in elliott smith. if i had to rank his songs, waltz #2 would definitely be in the top 3. 'i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow' are some of the greatest lyrics of all time."
"My ex/first love listens to bjork and elliott smith and jeff buckley and leonard cohen and bob dylan and bladee And he was amazing at eating pussy and loving and romantic, witty, smart, a little sensitive but strongly masculine."
