it's amazing how Elliot was important and loved but little recognized:
Ppl have been making tributes to him, artists have been writting about how touched they are by the news. Here's an example on Jesse Sykes notes section:

We are back in town....were on a stint on the east coast with iron and Wine then played the CMJ thing in NYC.It was all pretty amazing.I'll go into detail later but right now just wanted to say to any local folks you should come down to the Sunset tomorrow night(Friday the 7th)Phils arm is in a sling and I'm sick as a dog,so it should be pretty funny if nothing else!....Jon langford is playing and some of my band plus Kwab from Burn Burn Burn will be backing him up.Phil was going to play but the whole arm thing happened,its a long story!Anyway,got to play the Bloodshot records BBQ while CMJ was going down-just wanted to say we were quite honored.Also wanted to say how cool the Barsuk show at irving Plaza was.Im feeling pretty blessed right now,we have lots of really good people in our lives. Found out about Elliot Smith just minutes after getting off stage....not a day has gone by that i dont think about him ,it is so fucking sad and there just arent any words...Well i best go.We've once again been in the studio all day and i am going to sleep...theres so much more i want to say about all this....Elliot,fuck.goodnight-jesse
