Wondering if the first version of the "it's a wonderful life" album can be found anywhere. It's the first Sparklehorse album I listened two, and a lot on the songs on there are really great. Maybe the production on the tracks with collaborators is a bit more lush than the two first albums, but maybe it helped me to get into his earlier work in a way...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688080342863992298.post-20525575209008306362015-10-23T07:08:23.930+01:002015-10-23T07:08:23.930+01:00Hi Rob Turner - such a moving piece of writing whi...Hi Rob Turner - such a moving piece of writing which I am only just discovering now. How you summarise the depth & impact of Mark work & it's effect on people but also, even now, almost 6 years on, is remarkable in it's tenderness & eloquence. Thanks. :) <br /><br />I'm a musician myself, performing as 'The Mad Dalton'. I'm just about release my first album, well an EP.<br /><br />Here's a piece I wrote a few years back after Mark's death.<br /><br />http://www.themaddalton.com/blog/2012/09/09/in-memory-of-mark-linkous-a-horsey-who-sparkled/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674148781336830058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688080342863992298.post-14263286944161986472011-07-25T19:57:37.150+01:002011-07-25T19:57:37.150+01:00The article is wonderful ...

And I was moved by your own tribute too, Sean - that 'Sparklehorse' album is very much in the spirit of Linkous's own art.RobTurnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00802723771633359095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688080342863992298.post-82565428310700073042010-05-24T20:18:09.177+01:002010-05-24T20:18:09.177+01:00Thanks for a wonderful look at Mark's career. ...Thanks for a wonderful look at Mark's career.
