So. Despite my general disdain for television, I kinda might have sorta gotten addicted to Friday Night Lights. It happens, on occasion, when an exceptionally good show crosses my path, and even moreso when it has an ace soundtrack. At the urging of several friends with really good musical taste, I began gorging myself on the first three seasons on DVD right around Thanksgiving and I'm just catching up. The best I can explain, in its finest moments, this show feels like a Springsteen song in small towns and the fires of youth, all come to life in [...]
I stopped fighting for people a few years ago. Maybe it's for the best, maybe not. But I sure miss them all...even if it's just for a second, or a lot more. Sometimes you feel you've got the emptiest arms in the whole world Try to make sense but it always comes out absurd Sleeping horses keep eating up your flowers Don't let 'em in when it comes kicking at your door ( Maria's Little Elbows [...]
The Leaf Library is one of my favourite new bands, and I can't get enough of their music these days. Their guitarist and founder, Matt Ashton , used to play in another favourite of mine, Saloon . Even today, I get goosebumps when I hear the songs from Saloon's brilliant "(this is) what we call progress" or "if we met the future" , - really good songs. Saloon has also given life to two other very good bands: Adam "Arthur" Cresswell started the electro-pop duo Arthur and Martha , and Alison [...]
Frank Yang Considering that snow and slush are far more typical environmental hazards for Canadian Musicfest's timing, complaining about rain that accompanied the unseasonable warmth the last couple days seems ungrateful. And yet, standing in line to get into Lee's Palace in the freezing drizzle Friday night, I could only take solace in the fact that this would be my one and only stop for the evening. But I would certainly be having words with this "chromwaves" fellow whom festival literature said was presenting the show along with the Billions booking agency. [...]

There was a brief time around 2003 or so when I thought Sparklehorse's It's a Wonderful Life was one of the most brilliant albums I'd ever heard. But the band, which was basically just Mark Linkous's pseudonym, didn't release another album until 2006 and I lost interest and I haven't really revisited it since. So it saddened me to hear that Linkous had died. I wish I'd heard more. Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse has committed suicide, according to a report from Rolling Stone . [...]

La muerte se acerca a cada instante y cada quien disfruta su tiempo como mejor le parezca. Mark Linkous hizo música encantadora desde mediados de los 80. El 6 de marzo del año en curso se disparó en el pecho afuera de casa de unos amigos en Knoxville. Dijo que saldría a caminar. Linkous nació en Virginia, en una familia de mineros. En parte para evitar la tradición familiar, empezó una carrera musical, que lo llevaría a NY a principios de los 80 para probar suerte. The Dancing Hoods fue su primera [...]

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 [...]
