I don't recall any sort of attack on boo boo - he's made comments about people like Nick Drake, Elliott Smith and so on being bad guitarists before and consider his music preferences I think the statement was fair. Reading his post I still don't think he understands gentler music that is more based on subtly then anything else - at least that's what I could derive from the bits that were actually relevant to Smith's particular aesthetic.

And yeah I do think that's what Jackhammer was doing. Seeing as he was one of the people running around and praising Bon Iver I find it hypocritical to come in here and dismiss Elliott Smith the way he did - especially considering the atmosphere and division that surrounds many of his albums and the fact he isn't even widely discussed anymore. He is far from the first artist that pops to mind when I hear the words "overrated."
