[ajsledzep]

[SloppySkateboarder]

I'm going to cry.

[uphillracer]

thought you were gonna start crying in the middle of the video.

i too was devastated when i heard these terrible news.

i´ve been a fan since i saw him as support act for radiohead in 1997 or so. it was the greatest musical evening ever. rest in peace mark..

[676bun]

WOW!!... I didnt know this happend until i saw this video.

I'm shocked. I taped sparklehorse special on a show called

"sonic cinema" from back in 2001. i will try to get

it on my channel. I loved the video of "Gold Day" from that special.

Dark night of The Soul saved me from suicide. I cried for the first time in a year when I got the news. I was heartbroken. If anyone has any news on unreleased material being released please tell me. But maybe the beauty of his music is not to be released.

[attaxwrongnes]

@tyrocks14 i know recently sage francis has released an album which has a track linkous collaborated on. Apparently he did some recordings with steve albini before his death too. whether they will see the light of day who knows? but as you say maybe the beauty is in this stuff not being released.

[Jara426]

I know the "unkown" person he was texting before he shot himself....and honestly, if i were fuckin that bitch i would probably shoot myself in the heart as well. She is the fuckin devil. Everyone that was a part of her life is worse off for being so. She left a wake of destruction where ever she went. I feel so bad for this man. It is unfortunate his path crossed with hers.... I hope she rots in whatever hell she believes in. And I hope he finds peace in whatever afterlife he believes in.

[CancerWTF]

It's a wonderful life... RIP Mark... great musician that pushed your limits. feel the same way as you bro.

SF: Saturday- as1.20pm EST drew near, we shuffled our exhaustive SPARKLEHORSE collection all day.Mark's songs confided his hope & torment & alluded to his final act. I too just don't know HOW I'm gonna live in a world w/out him, w/out deriving hope from knowing that if HE can cope, then so can I. "The stars are not wanted now: put out every one/Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun/Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood/For nothing now can ever come to any good."-W H Auden

RIP Mark

[asilvermountzion1983]

I am so shocked and devistated that Mark is gone. His music was so special to me and I don't know any other person who listens to it so it was very special to me. "It's a wonderful Life" is my favorite sparklehorse album and also one of my top five albums of all time. "More Yellow Birds" is my favorite track. Hey OP!!! Don't forget about the hidden gem on "It's a wonderful life" hint hint. Mark's music was sad and beautiful, I felt a profound connection with his work and I will miss him.

[daoudtube]

Probably better off where you are Mr. Linkous. At least you won't suffer anymore. My condoleance to the Linkouses. Thank you so much for your Music.

Peace

[finlaycarlon]

i loved the way how he captured the human pain and beauty

[lilibet316]

I literally CANNOT express how devastated I am about the death of Mark Linkous! I listened to It's a Wonderful Life and Vivadixiesubmarinetransmission­plot when I found out and couldn't help but cry my eyes out the entire way through them both! A Musical Hero was lost! RIP Mark! xxx

[squashedheads]

His music played a very important part in my late teenage years. RIP Mark x

[MKUltra3]

yes, Sparklehorse worked with the best. His tunes with Fennesz were a favorite. He's free, I guess...

[attaxwrongnes]

thank you, his music meant alot to me, i ordered another copy of "good morning spider" looking forward to listening to it again but will probably make me feel a bit sad aswell.

[longitudes]

all i can said is...

Its a wonderful life

[jphillysnack]

sparklehorse was the first band i saw live ever. @the TLA in philly 1997. still have the stub. RIP mark

[steverobs1]

far out man

[26febr]

And he will get a physical release, sadly because he committed suicide it will sell more

sad & beautifull world

[tonynator1]

It already has had a "physical release". Just with a blank CD though :-)

[26febr]

Totally agree, peace.

[lonecrowmusic]

My heart sank when I heard the news. He was one of the greatest inspirations of mine.

Thanks for posting this.

[peckersqueeze]

Dude, i feel the same way, i feel like i know Mark myself, but i never got to meet the great man himself.

I will miss Mark.........always will.

[pimpnerd88]

[LeatherWriter]

Really difficult to know.

[DUSTYCAT25]
