Alright you faithful readers, I've got three mixes here that should definitely be spread and heard, each crafted by musicians from wildly different genres: one comes from chillwave don Washed Out, one by new neo-classical act A Winged Victory for the Sullen, and the last molded Minneapolic-based beatmaker Phaseone, who put this out back in 2009. Each one pulls off some remarkable sonic feats of strength, such as Phaseone splicing MF Doom with Clipse's "Mr. Me Too", or AWVFTS opening their mix with the elegant and supremely epic "Das Rheingold Prelude" by German composer Richard Wagner. The links to each [...]
photo by tim saccenti sup peoples? been on a bit of a sparklehorse kick as of late for no other reason except he, mark linkous was awesome. one song that always creeps me out a bit when it comes on is "sunshine" off good morning spider . at the end of the song is a portion of a voicemail left by vic chesnutt while mark was in the hospital many years ago. while it was mildly creepy back when the record was released, its even more eery now considering everything that has happened. i cant recommend [...]
![[Flashback] – Sparklehorse – "It's A Wonderful Life"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3583667_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl / MP3 / CD One of the fundamental goals of running a music blog is to introduce people to new music. The primary method of doing this is to highlight new releases, either via up and coming bands that show potential or tried-and-true musical mainstays that generally please the masses. Lost in this growing blogging race are the building [...]
There's a chance for magic when musicians cross paths. For some it's groundbreaking ( Aerosmith ft. Run DMC – "Walk This Way" ), and other times it's the thought that counts ( Nelly ft. Tim McGraw – "Over and Over" ). But when there's that spark that elevates a collaborated piece to a whole new level, well, that's the stuff that melts the hearts of music fans. No longer are artists forced to snail mail DATs to each other via the Postal Service or find the time to meet in the studio. Online file sharing has facilitated endless possibilities for [...]

Sparklehorse didn't record very many covers. Here's a look at a few of the interesting cover versions Mark Linkous left to us including Pink Floyd, Vic Chesnutt and Daniel Johnston.
I was alerted to this album via Knoxville blogger and DJ Nelson from A Fifty Cent Lighter who featured this hometown band on his blog recently, I secured a copy via Reviewshine where the album was tagged as "indie roots rock, alt-country", in truth you could add a few more hyphens and genres as the album draws on a range of roots and rock influences, I know music labels and genres are very much a love and hate thing, I'm on the love side myself but when it comes down to it we all know there [...]

Terri Tarantula - Happy Place (Sparklehorse cover)
This podcast is all about our week's record shopping in Austin, although I promise I am done going on about SXSW, so those of you bored to tears by the whole business are entirely safe, I promise. We did buy a fair bit of vinyl while we were over there though, whether it be directly from the bands at their shows (usually whilst still pished and giddy from enjoying the gig) or on one of our particular excursions to either End of an Ear or Waterloo Records. There is such pleasure to be had from poking [...]
The following is a 2006 face-to-face interview conducted by Hilary White with Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse. Linkous took his own life this time last year following a long battle with depression and addiction. He was highly regarded as a collaborative and visionary artist and producer, and his death came as a blow to his many fans and admirers. This is the first time this interview has seen the light of day. The stooped posture and slightly knock-kneed gait of Mark Linkous is unmistakeable on Camden Street. Hands rigidly stuffed in the pockets, Virginia's dark [...]
