I’m a big fan of Sparklehorse. I know Linkous had a pretty checkered emotional history including an OD that nearly nearly left him paralyzed did do permanent damage to his legs. I’ve long wanted to do a post on what I call “Magical Realism” in the rock world. Kiko era Los Lobos, Sparklehorse, some PJ Harvey phases. I’ll have to work on that.
R.I.P. buddy.
Sparklehorse’s album “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a masterpiece. If’n you don’ have it already, you should get it.
Isn’t this growing old thang great???

That video is a Cracker cover I think.
I’ve often wanted to do a thread on how suicide seems to lend credibility to an artist. Just seems so gauche though.
