Mark Linkous
Took his life last weekend. Sparklehorse, was Linkous. He wrote, played and produced some of most imaginitive, melancholic and beautiful music of the last 20 years. 4 albums all beautiful.

Very sad. Sparklehorse were a genuinely creative and wonderful band.

A truly sad loss
Among all the vapid shit and fake flash in the pan rubbish that gets endlessly debated on these boards, heres the passing of a musician and true artist who shows into sharp focus how crappy and disposable most music is I've been listening to VivaDixie.... pretty much since i heard. Got 'Gasoline Horseys' on right now and my thoughts go out to his family. |

I only heard about his death last night and I cried too. Such a sad, sad loss. I've loaded all four albums into the CD player and they're on in rotation. Just listened to Gasoline Horseys too. R.I.P

A sad loss indeed, I've also been playing my old Sparklehorse albums over the last few days - he produced some truly brilliant music.

Absolutely gutted,
![]() Just loved his music, the low fi buzz of retro instruments weaving in and out of consciousness, the rambling lyrics bleeding with nature and stark honesty. The music gave a almost spiritual hum without the religious nonsense. R.I.P Mark Thanks for the music |
