YOU CAN BE MY LIGHT, YOU CAN BE MY FOG

The world lost another incredible heart, mind, soul, and visionary this past weekend. Mark Linkous, the mastermind, mulit-instrumentalist and lead-singer behind the alt-country/experimental band, Sparklehorse, took his own life on March 6, 2010. He also worked with David Lynch and Danger Mouse on the "finally being released" multi-media project, Dark Night of The Soul, and has collaborated with PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, Nina Persson and Daniel Johnston, to name a few. He was nearly finished with a new album which was to be released on Anti-Records. Linkous was originaly from Virginia. Below are some songs from his 2001 album, It's A Wonderful Life, as well as a video for Ghost In The Sky, from the 2006 Sparklehorse album, Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain. It's sad that he felt like he needed to go...let's hope he found peace wherever he is.
