no offense to mark, but can we get some new news? I’m kinda sick of seeing this. It just get’s depressing after a while. If I wanted to feel depressed I’d go listen to radiohead

I was really sad to hear this too. I discovered Sparklehorse during the “OK Computer” concert in Paris (18/10/97, my first concert ever) and I have always been impressed by the constant quality and depth of his music. I hope he rests in peace.

Sparklehorse was something different. Viva was out of this world and made me think about music as both an art and a science. Though I hate to highlight a cover song with so many fantastic originals, the Wish You Were Here cover, along with the story, is undeniably part of music history. It will be something many of us keep in our favorites list our entire lives.

Rest in peace

I got into Sparklehorse’s music just before I became a Radiohead fan and Mark’s music has been with me for over 16 years (That’s slightly more than half my life). His song ‘Saturday’ was said to have inspired ‘No Surprises’ and I’m sure his music has inspired many other artists. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and he really was a gentle soul. Rest In Peace Mark Linkous – Wish You Were Here.
