Gosh, I didn't think enough people visited this place to max out a yousendit d/l, but I was wrong, so by popular demand, the Decemberists track is now reposted on EZarchive - The Culling of the Fold . Enjoy! Sparklehorse is already an acclaimed band, and so I don't have to talk them up, which is kind of nice. "They" are Mark Linkous and any collaborator that happens by, which is very cool, because Linkous knows some great people and one time he collaborated with Thom Yorke to produce my favorite cover ever, the transcendent [...]
No Show Today... We're pre-empted (again) today by women's soccer action on the home station. In House will be back in its usual spot and (presumably) its usual form tomorrow. In the meantime, MP3s for your enjoyment... Tom Waits , from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (due 11/21): "You Can Never Hold Back Spring" (MP3) Juana Molina , from Son : "Micael" (MP3) Andy Partridge (xtc frontman), from Fuzzy Warbles [...]
Having retreated to a ski chalet/cabin/studio in the NC mountains after 2001's uber-heavy It's a Wonderful Life , Mark Linkous returns, clean & sober, via his recently released fourth LP Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain . Great news -- the time off has not dulled the creative edge that has anchored the Sparklehorse sound and vibe. There are some artists, and some music, that demand a ceratin atmosphere and/or conte to be properly ingested by the listener. In the [...]

Five years is a long time to be away. After 2001's It's A Wonderful Life , Sparklehorse mastermind Mark Linkous essentially disappeared off the map. But now that he's back with Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain , it's only natural that folks want to know what happened to him. Artvoice finds out what he was doing in that time ("For three years, I'd just come to my studio and stare at my [...]

Giusto per darvi un'idea dei livelli astrali di glamour che è in grado di toccare il tenutario del presente blog, candidato diqquà e linkato dillà, il momento più bello del mio weekend è stato guidare in mezzo al nubifragio lungo la A14 ascoltando gli Sparklehorse a tutto volume e pregando che la Società Autostrade (si chiamava così, una volta) quest'anno avesse deciso, per una volta, di non tagliare la voce dei costi relativa alla spesa in asfalto drenante. C'è questa canzone che si chiama Shade and honey (che era già uscita anni fa nella colonna sonora di un film che [...]
Sparklehorse mainostaa uutta albumiansa perin oudolla promovideolla (YouTube). Videossa ei mainita yhtyettä eikä levyä, vaan keskitytään kehumaan ja kuvailemaan Pohjois-Carolinaa, sen erityispiirteitä ja siellä asuneita suurmiehiä. Videon pääosassa on hevospäinen mies, joka mm. soittaa urkuja ja kitaraa, työskentelee studiossa ja golfaa. Erittäin outoa. Tagit: Sparklehorse
Onward, brave music adventurers! If you forgot how we got here, check the previous ACL preview posts. This covers 4:30 until last show, Friday. Tired yet? Well, you better not be, it is only halfway through day 1 and it is time to get crazy with Gnarls Barkley . This promises to be a raucous show and one of the most popular of the festival. I personally can't wait to see what costumes they have on for the show. Gnarls will be hard to follow, but I think it is in the capable hands [...]
After 5 years, the wait is almost over. Sparklehorse will be back on 9/26 with a new record, Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain . And if it's as good as any of his first three album, it means it will be exceptional ! It's hard to summarize Sparklehorse music, so go and check the wikipedia bio which is really good ....and scary :). There are so many good songs that it was hard which one to chose. But because it's saturday (and I plan only to make posts [...]
Mark Linkous se vratio. Covek kome su mnogi predvidjali blistavu buducnost, a on samo odmahivao rukom. Nakon godina depresije, selidba u bespuca Severne Karoline je urodila plodom. Nova ploca je spremna. ' Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain ', je naziv ploce koja ce pojaviti krajem septembra na njegovoj novoj etiketi Astralwerks . album je uglavnom snimao sam u sopstvenom studiju, uz malu pomoc svog novog prijatelja producenta Brian Dangermouse Burtona, i [...]
[MP3] Ferraby Lionheart - Tickets to Crickets I'm pretty intrigued by this guy. So far he's just got an EP out, but simply judging from these songs, you'd assume he'd be around the indie rock block a few times, so to speak. He's weathered and confident, inspired and extremely talented. "Tickets to Crickets" rolls along a bouncy piano line like a leaf-blown brit pop ballad, with enough rustiness and recklessness to keep it homegrown. [MP3] Ivy League June [...]
I like to do this every once in awhile...I go into a regular CD store and If I see a cool cover or an awesome band name... I just buy it. Then I sit around with my fingers cross and hope its the next phenominal record of my life...a majority of the time I end up only enjoying a few tracks and it ends up being an bomb..But a few yrs ago...same kinda thing happened I bought Sparklehorse`s record It`s A Wonderfull Life and immediatly fell in love... So [...]

According to Pitchfork it'll feature contributions from Christian Fennesz, Tom Waits, Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips and Danger Mouse, who has production credits [...]
SPARKLEHORSE "Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of The Mountain" Amazing what a day on the beach can do for your physical and mental state. I spent Sunday down at my old stomping grounds (what the fuck are stomping grounds?) and am a lovely hue of hairy crimson pink. It's rare you can get a sunburn that doesn't hurt. I'm not sure what vitamins the sun gives us, but I

I'll admit it! I forgot about Sparklehorse. That is, kind of forgot they existed. But really, don't blame me entirely, because they disappeared for quite awhile. It's been 5 years since their last album, and even then all that stuff is buried back in my archives somewhere. Anyways, I was surprised, and in fact enthralled when I heard that Sparklehorse would finally be putting out a new album. Now that I've given it a listen, I can safely say that it lives up to my expectations. More great tracks from the band- this new album is as solid as any [...]
In the radio and records world, promotion folks are always "working" us radio guys to increase the number of plays a record gets on the radio. It's called "upping the spins." So with that, here's a couple cool things I've heard recently whose blog spins should be upped. First in line is Sasha Dobson a singer-songwriter originally from Santa Cruz, California, who now lives in New York City. Her debut album, Modern Romance is [...]
