last year i called my friends at 12:59am and yelled happy birthday and then hung up. i got a cake and my family and i sang happy birthday and ate it. i left a piece on a plate for him. i drove around illinois (i happened to be coming home from wisconsin that day) with several signs saying "honk for elliott smith" taped to my windows. people honked. =]


obnoxious? yes.
a little crazy? yes.
absolutely neccessary? hell yes.

dude i bet heaven's got some crazy awesomely good ice cream. where the freezer is always stocked with every kind you could want. you dont even have to choose, it just pops out of nowhere on a little cloud with a spoon wherever you are.

[disembodied voice] "Oh, did you by any chance want vanilla ice cream swirled with chocolate sauce, brownie bits, peanuts, fudge, peanut butter, marshmallows, whipped cream, caramel, and oreos?"
*bowl of ice cream and spoon poofs into existence*

haha i wouldn't mind that.

I'm glad I was lucky enough to meet you, even if it was for a brief moment in time. How apropos we met at Spaceland. I still have the napkin with your hand-written lyrics scribbled in blue ink. You were sweet and kind -- very shy. A true gentleman. I wish you were still down here. Anyway, I'm still turning friends and loved ones on to your beautiful sounds, breaking hearts with your voice.

Just now I hear the cawing of a raven as day breaks. It must be you.

[Failure's Art]

Elliott, on this day all of us are here to celebrate the anniversary of your birth. In roughly two months, we will be celebrating the anniversary of your death. I hope that from wherever you are, you can be aware of this online forum, or at least this thread. Just so you can see how much you meant to us. So many of us have been in love with you and your music for some time now. I know you never would have wanted us to confuse the two, you and your work. It can't be helped though. When you create something that no one else could have, you sort of become the work. And the work that you created is definitely worth celebrating. I'd wait until the anniversary of the day you wrote your first song, but I don't know that date. So instead of celebrating the day of the creation of your first work, we celebrate the creation of you. Wherever you are I hope you have a day one hundred times better than any you could have here.
Happy birthday, Elliott.

Happy Birthday Elliott.. thanks for sharing your place...

Today is Day 3 of the Everest record... an important day. Not only am I excited because it's Day 3 that I get to wake up and play music with my friends in this great sound sanctuary, but because it's also been 3 years now since we took the chance on the studio. Today, we'll honor Elliott's birthday with every breath within these walls, every smile, every note.

I feel a sense of anticipation and tension about many things in my life, but not about this studio. Every day I spend here, I go home knowing that we've done our best work and that the sound is an absolute dream come true. And every day I spend there, I go home and sleep a deep, rich sleep ... filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Day 1 of the album felt like what I hope my wedding day will feel like. That, and the last day of school. Happiness, Freedom, relief, and accomplishment.

Mike Terry mentioned that we've got the most elaborate setup yet in the place ... we're using the studio to its fullest. And it sounds unbelieveable. All the time, I dream and wish that Elliott would walk through the door and see the place now. I would break down crying and tell him all about what we've been through in the last three years ... all the struggle, all the joy, and all the beautiful sound.

Thank you to my studio partner Robert Cappadona, Mike Terry, Charlie Bolois, Fritz Michaud, Sweet Adeline (Charlie and the entire friend community), Ashley Welsh, the Smith extended family, Don Antacky, and most importantly ... all the bands in the last three years ... so many folks who have helped us keep this place not only open, but growing and flourishing. We're so damn proud that the studio is still here, still Elliott's place. And I am the luckiest guy in the world to be recording here.

elliott,

i hope what your songs do for me, at some point they did the same for you. or if not your songs, someone else's. anyone's.
cos if i could know that much, i wouldn't so much mind that you've left.

and if i'm making music into some kind of reward for living - and it does seem like i am - then you deserve to hear things we could never imagine.
and ya know...i really think you must have.

which is comforting, in its own way.

Wow, 39 years ago Elliott was born. I wish I had the opportunity to thank him for everything, though I was too young to even fathom listening to anything this powerful when I was young. I still feel stupid, realizing I was listening to Mystikal and other five second pop rappers when I could've been listening to Son of Sam. But ah, I doubt my 6 year old mind could comprehend Elliott anyway.

But happy birthday anyway!

Happy Birthday, Elliott!
