Es gibt Songs, die magst du schlicht und einfach der Musik wegen. Es gibt Songs, die magst du, weil du bestimmte Erlebnisse damit verbindest. Es gibt Songs, die magst du, weil sie dich an bestimmte Personen erinnern. Und es gibt Songs, die diese drei Komponenten vereinen: Songs, die dir einfach nicht mehr aus dem kopf gehen, weil sie dich an bestimmte gemeinsame Erlebnisse in Zusammenhang mit toller Musik erinnern. Der New Yorker Singer/Songwriter Brian Sendrowitz und seine Band Beat Radio haben ganz viele davon. 2008 hat die Band eine possierliche 3-Track-EP aufgenommen. Alle drei [...]
Araba Films If there's one thing Austin, Texas needs during Spring Break, it's some live music. Particularly in the form of a day party. The past few years I've been very lucky to have been able to help put on some fantastic parties with some of my favourite blogger buds. And while the Hot Freaks marque has been put to bed for the time being, I'm very happy to be able to announce that You Ain't No Picasso , My Old Kentucky Blog , [...]
On March 6th at 1:20pm in Knoxville TN, Mark Linkous, better known in the music world as Sparklehorse, lost his life. witnesses said after a period of fighting depression and drinking heavily he was visiting friends when he walked into an alley and shot himself in the heart with a riffle. his family quickly backed up the suicide theory by releasing this statement "It is with great sadness that we share the news that our dear friend and family member, Mark Linkous, took his own life today. We are thankful for his time with us and will hold [...]
I'm a little late to the draw here, but over the weekend a relatively little known artist named Mark Linkous, better known as Sparklehorse, took his own life in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was 47 years young. That is a real shame. It was allegedly set off by a text message. How would you like to be the sender? No thanks. I hope it was worth it. Reports say it was roughly 1:20 PM in the afternoon when this all happened so we'd like to believe this wasn't some alcohol or drug fueled spur of the moment decision. Then again most of us don't [...]
Mark Linkous committed suicide over the weekend, and among the many remembrances of and tributes to the Sparklehorse main man is the following, penned by ex-Grandaddy guitarist Jim Fairchild, who now makes music as All Smiles , and sent today to his e-mail list: Among many of the great memories I have of my happy times in rock and roll, one of the happiest comes from a festival in the U.K. in the summer of 2001. Grandaddy was playing on the same day as [...]

Although on the other side of the world at the moment, I am distraught over the news of Mark Linkous' death . When I was starting out in music journalism, I approached the man in Whelan's during a sound check, saying that I was a writing for an independent music magazine and could he meet for an interview. He said that that was no problem and we agreed to go for a coffee the morning after his first of two shows in Whelan's. I gave him a copy of Dubliners by James Joyce, and he told me [...]

Though I've spent less time with Mark Linkous' music than other people, the news on Sunday that he had taken his own life has been a horrible bummer. Aside from wondering why, it made me think of 2001's It's A Wonderful Life , the first record of his that I bought back in high school. Do you think that title was sardonic? I hope not. I hope he felt like that was the case at some point. Anyway, that record was great. It still is. So is Vivadixiesubmarinetransmission plot , whose best songs are out in YouTube [...]
it's a shame when our favorite songwriters take the same path, one after another. sure, that's the path they chose, but, on a egoist perspective, it's also a path that leaves us without another chance of witnessing their musicianship on a stage, of listening to new songs they always had on the sleeve for us. you ask why and they're no more able to answer anything. in 1996 Rolling Stones wrote " Mark Linkous actually died for two minutes after ingesting a dangerous mix of Valium and antidepressants while on tour in the U.K. behind Sparklehorse [...]

Here's a taste - click through for the whole thing: "Fogerty, due to a combination of anger and a need to distance himself from his past, has spent most of his time since Creedence putting out records that do not play to his main strength as a writer and musician who combined the blues and roots sounds and feel associated with New Orleans with the pop [...]
Mark Linkous beter bekend als Sparklehorse is niet meer. Afgelopen weekend maakte hij een einde aan zijn leven en dat is kut want hij maakte wonderschone liedjes zoals deze. Sparklehorse - Getting It Wrong Click here to view the embedded video.
I always enjoyed listening to Sparklehorse (AKA Mark Linkous) and I often vowed to listen to more. I remember reading an article about Linkous in Rolling Stone (haha) in high school, then downloading some tracks. Later, an ex who really liked his stuff put many songs on many mixes for me. They always stood out as highlights. His songs could be slow and melancholy or distorted and noise-poppy. Always catchy and interestingly orchestrated with unlikely sounds, Linkous made music that sounded genuine and true to himself. If you have music nerd friends and have [...]
