The Suicide of Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse was confirmed earlier today in an official statement from his family.

That Sparklehorse only released four official albums reflects unfairly on Linkous’ work; outside of his private umbrella, he collaborated and produced and collaborated again.

Niagara Falls - Sequence Of Prophets Part 1

As I revealed the other day in my piece about being sartorially unimpressed by anyone in New York except the Indian community, I can be pretty ho-hum about people’s visual style. But when I like someone’s style, I really like it. I glom on. I copy. I evangelize. I’ve always done this; at school I’d copy someone’s handwriting if I thought it was cool, or wear my tie the way they did. These days, my role models in this respect tend to be Japanese women, which makes it a bit harder to copy. But I can still evangelize.

Just received this poster in the mail for Danger Mouse + Sparklehorse’s upcoming project, Dark Night of the Soul.

So we missed the “OMG JUST WHO ARE The Golden Filter OMG!” folderol earlier this year, and so when the press release stating that they were headlining Friction @ Le Poisson Rouge later this month, I got a little livid.

It’s 1989 in the UK. Margaret Thatcher has deregulated pretty much everything, AIDS is ravaging the gay world, the drug of choice is ecstasy, Acid House is outraging the tabloids, and the charts are dominated by The Pet Shop Boys and Stock, Aitken and Waterman. I’m touring my Tender Pervert songs in France and Switzerland with an electronica band called The Beloved.
