Back in March Sparklehorse frontman Mark Linkous shot himself in the heart and, suprisingly, died. Until then i'd only given Sparklehorse a precursory listen, so the the last couple of months have been a bit of a revelation as I've discovered his music to be superb; melodic, cool, simple and complex, emotionally touching. Essentially everything I could ask from a musician. Apparently this wasn't Linkous' first brush with death, he 'died' for two minutes after an overdose back in the 90's. Anyway, as per, I'm late to te party again, but that doesn't mean I wont enjoy it. RIP.
