Yonke le nto itshintshe usuku iNyanga esayine umculi-umbhali wengoma UElliott Smith .
Igitare kunye nelizwi elaziwayo lePortland indie-pop yempahla Isifudumezi Wayengengomntu wasemzini ekurekhodeni phantsi kwegama lakhe, esenza istark, esothusayo solo ngo-1994 Ikhandlela lamaRoma kukhangelo lweCavity Search olungasebenzisi nto ngaphandle kweendlela ezine ezingabizi kakhulu kunye nemakrofoni yeRadio Shack yokubamba isandi.
USmith uwandisile lo mseto ukuba ubandakanye imigqomo, iharmonica, icello kunye nelungu xa eqala ukubulala i-Rock Stars kunye ne-solo yakhe yesibini ebizwa ngokuba yi-solo LP ngo-1995. Nangona kunjalo, yayiyi-albhamu eyahlukileyo kulayini wenkampani hayi ngokwesini kuphela kodwa isitayile ngokunjalo; ubulumko obungenangqondo be UElliott Smith yayiyinto eyahluke mpela kumandla e-punk anamandla ngakumbi amaqela athandwayo anjenge-Huggy Bear, i-Bikini Kill kunye ne-Sleater-Kinney.
Kodwa kwakungekho nje ukuba uSmith akhululwe Mhlawubi okanye ngoFebruwari 25, 1997 ukuba ilivo lakhe laqoshwa elityeni.

Kwaba libali likaCinderella lowe-1997: isenzo sokuqala somntu ongumlingane kwiKill Rock Stars sinyuka sivela kwiitshathi ze-CMJ saya kwi-Academy Award yokutyunjwa kweNgoma eQalayo kunye noMiss Misery- ingoma eyayingekho Mhlawubi okanye , kodwa equka yonke into eye yanika i-LP njenge-Smith's singular masterpiece ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla.
IMassachusetts alt-folk icon uMary Lou Lord wayekhe wahlekisa malunga nomhlobo wakhe wakudala ukuba uSmith wayeyibhalansi ebalulekileyo kaNick Drake kunye noLou Barlow. Kodwa nge Mhlawubi okanye , USmith wazimisa ngokungaphezulu nje kokuba yinkosi ye-pastiche. Utyhalele uthando lwakhe olunzulu ngeeBeatles waya phambili ngohlobo olumnandi, olwahlazisayo lolwalamano olusondele kuPaul McCartney. UMcCartney kwaye i-RAM , kodwa iingoma zakhe zokutshabalalisa izixhobo, iingoma ezikhuthazayo kunye nokunikezelwa okuhle kodwa okwabasesichengeni kwakungu-Elliott Smith omsulwa.
Yiyo kanye le nto yobushushu obukhuthazayo obukhuthaze uVan Sant ukuba abandakanye isitshixo Mhlawubi okanye iingoma njengo-Ewe, Angeles kunye naphakathi kweeBhari kwi Ukuzingela okuhle.
Ngomhla we-10 ku-Matshi, iKill Rock Stars ibhiyozela amashumi amabini e-albhamu ethengiswa kakhulu kunye ne-albhamu ethandwa kakhulu ngu-Smith ushicilelo olwandisiweyo lwe Mhlawubi okanye Ukulungiswa kwakhona kwiiteyiphu zokuqala phantsi kolawulo lwexesha elide likaSmith kunye nomhlobo uLarry Crane. Eyona nto ilunge ngakumbi yidiski yesibini enezinto ezintlanu ezirekhodiweyo ezivela kuYo Yo A Go Go Festival eOlimpiki, Geza., Ngo-1997, kunye nezitudiyo zestudiyo ezazingakhutshelwanga ngaphambili kunye necala elithandekayo le-b Andicingi ukuba Ndihlala Ndiyibona.
Ukukhumbula isikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-20, uMbonisi kutsha nje uthethe neqela elikhethiweyo labahlobo bakudala bakaSmith kunye nabalandeli abakhulu ukunikela ngamabali kunye nokuqonda ukuba ingakanani Mhlawubi okanye kwaye umdali wayo oshiyekileyo ubucebisile ubomi babo njengabantu neemvumi.

Ndihlala ndithetha ngoKurt Cobain no-Elliott Smith kumaxesha afanayo nakwimihlathi efanayo kuba ndibazi bobabini. Kwaye kwakungekho bantu baninzi babaziyo bobabini; nokuba bebemazi uKurt okanye uElliott kodwa bebengabazi bonke bobabini kwaye bendibazi, ke ndinombono othile.
Kwaye xa uthetha ngelahleko, ukuba uKurt ebesandul 'ukuhlala nje uhlala ephila iinyanga ezimbalwa, ukuba ujonga umgca wexesha kwaye ujonge apho bobabini babekhona ngokwejografi, babefana nje neeyure ezimbini enye. Kwaye ukuba u-Kurt ojiyileyo ebesandula ukubambeka kwezinye iinyanga ezimbalwa, kuxa u-Elliott wayeqalisile ukurekhoda, ndiyayazi inyani yokuba wayeya kuthandana no-Elliott. Wayeza kuya komnye wemiboniso, okanye babeya kudibana ngandlela thile.
Ndizokuya khona ngoku, andazi ukuba uLennon noMcCartney badibana njani, kodwa ukuba bebengekho ngeyiliphosile ngokupheleleyo ithuba. Kwaye yile nto indishiya ngaphandle kakhulu, hayi ngenxa yokuba babhubhile bobabini, kodwa banokuba ngabahlobo kwaye banokuxhomelana.
Bobabini babengabantu abawuthandayo umculo, kwaye bobabini bebefana ngendlela engummangaliso, ndicinga ukuba umculo ngebabewenze njengeqela ngebabugcinile bephila. Umculo, kubo bobabini, yayiyeyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu. Kwaye uElliott wayemthanda uKurt, kwaye wayethanda iNirvana, kwaye wayeza kundibuza ngaye.
Ke kum, bendisoloko ndicinga, damn, ukuba benze ibhendi okanye ukuba bebedibene, ndiziva ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba uElliott ngewayenjengomninawa omncinci kuKurt kwaye uElliott ngewayebonise uKurt indlela yokuyibuyisela umva kwaye abe ngumculo ngakumbi, kwaye zikho ngakumbi. Kwaye emva koko u-Kurt wayenokukhwaza ukuba u-Elliott wayengazange. Bekuya kuba kufanelekile nje omnye komnye kakuhle kangaka. Yilahleko enjalo, kuba ndiyazi ukuba uKurt wayenayo ialbham efana nayo Mhlawubi okanye kuye, kwaye uElliott ngewayemncedile ukuba ayibone.

UAllison Wolfe, Isithuthi , Amabala ezesondo
Umntu othile weKill Rock Stars undithumele icwecwe elitsha likaElliott Smith Mhlawubi okanye kanye emva kokuphuma kwayo ngo-1997. Kwakunzima kakhulu eWashington, D.C., ndaziva ngathi ndilahlekelwa yingqondo. Andizange ndive ngoElliott ngaphambi kokuba ndimamele Mhlawubi okanye . Elo cwecwe yayiyeyona nto intle endakha ndeva ixesha elide, kwaye ndaye ndazithanda kakhulu ngayo. Khange ndiyeke ukuyidlala ndicinge, Ngubani lo mfo une nerdy othetha ngqo nam endenza ndilile?
Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, ndaxelela umhlobo wam uDorien Garry, endandidla ngokumtyelela kakhulu eNew York, malunga nokuzimisela kwam, kwaye wayefana no-O, ndingabahlobo naye. Ufudukele nje apha. Nyuka uze kuhlala nathi.
Umhlobo wam uRosy kunye nam saqhuba impelaveki yeTibetan Freedom Concert saza sadibana noDorien noElliott eBrownies. Wayekwimo yepati epheleleyo, encumile kwaye ethenga zonke iziselo. Sihambise itheko laya eMax Fish apho bekufanele ukuba ndidibene noGraham Coxon obesedolophini ukuza kudlala umnyhadala.
U-Elliott wayengumlandeli omkhulu we-Blur kodwa wayenentloni zokuthetha naye. Endaweni yokuba ndithethe noGraham, u-Elliott uqhubeke nokubaleka waya kwi-jukebox kwaye wabeka iNgoma 2, emva koko wabaleka wabuyela emva kwaye egigitheka emva komqolo kaGraham. UGraham wabulawa, wagcina intloko yakhe ezandleni, emva koko wahlukana.
Sonke simoshe kakuhle kwaye saqonda ukuba sidinga into yokuyithambisa. Mna no-Elliott safumana iibhegi ezivela kuKatz saza sazityela ecaleni kwendlela enqumla eMax Fish. Sithe sisatya, sabona umfo onxibe isuti echamela imoto kaDorien. Ndathetha into malunga nayo, kwaye uElliott waxhuma wabaleka wayokukhwaza umfana. I-dude yambamba ngenqindi enye. Ndizamile ukukhupha uElliott ndiphume esitratweni, kodwa akavuma. Ulele nje ngomqolo embindini wesitalato iLudlow ejonge ngqo esibhakabhakeni.

UJustin Carter, umbhali-wengoma / uDJ / umququzeleli / umseki we Mnumzana ngoMgqibelo ebusuku
Uyazi, kum yayiyirekhodi lakhe elilandelayo XO oko kundizise kuElliott Smith, okunokundenza ndingafaneleki, kodwa… ndithe ndakufumanisa umculo kaElliott Smith, wahlanganisa imisonto emibini yomculo eyayikade ikho eyahlukileyo komnye.
Ndiqale ukudlala ikatala xa ndandineminyaka eli-10 okanye eli-11, ndifunda iingoma zikaJames Taylor noJoni Mitchell. Yayiyindlela entle yokufikelela ekuculeni nasekubhaleni ingoma ngecitaristic. Njengoko ndibetha phezulu, ndibeka loo magcisa ecaleni kwicala lendie ye-indie. Ndiqale ukufunda iingoma zePavumente kunye neDinosaur Jr. Xa ndafumanisa u-Elliott Smith, ndaqonda ukuba kukho indawo yokubhala umculo ndisebenzisa izixhobo endinazo ngaphandle kokuba ndibuyisele kwixesha elidlulileyo. Usebenzise ikatala ye-acoustic ukubhala malunga nezinto ezaziziva ziyinyani kum, ngendlela eyayihambelana nomculo okwangoku.
Ngaphandle kwalonto, ikwangumculi wokuqala endimthandayo endandibukele ndisiya kwindawo emnyama, ndingaze ndibuye. Ndikhumbula ndimbona esenza kwiFarm Day Day Fest, isithembiso somnyhadala. Kwakumele ukuba yenzeke kwicandelo eliluhlaza elikhulu eLong Island, kwaye ngomzuzu wokugqibela, ukuvumela ukutsalwa, kwaye ityala lahlulwa kwaye lafudukela eGiant Stadium.
U-Elliott wayedlala kwindawo yokupaka njengoko yayixinekile, ngenxa yoko wayengenangxaki yokwenza ibha yentsini. Kwafuneka ndihambe. Kwakukokokuqala ndibona ukuba umntu angaphumelela kwaye anetalente kwaye athandwe kodwa abe nesiphene. Obo yayibuhle nentlekele yomfo.
