    For the past the past 2 years Sparklehorse has been my favorite band. I didn't find out Mark died till later, but it makes me sad that many people don't know of him. As a teenager I will do my part of spreading his voice to a generation who couldn't get to know him. ❤

Then we found a group of people who like similar music and we all go to local concerts together. It really is amazing since everyone I introduced to Linkous before him couldn't vibe with it now to have a small community of sparklehorse lovers.

    I wish Mark could see how much he was loved. I would do anything for Mark to be back with us. This man was clearly sad, but he was and still is an inspiration to many people. Mark's beautiful poetry and slow riffs will live on, at least to me, because he is more than every other music "artist". Mark had deep meaningful words and he needed to be heard. We miss you, Mark.. RIP.

    back when I lived in richmond i went to hear some bands at a stage in a parking lot near plan 9. i heard weird noises, someone fooling around with instruments on stage, feedback and hum, who's screwing around up there I wondered, then a couple more people up there and I guess what they were playing was a song, no clear leader, vocals staticy and indecipherable. they didn't play long and quit. i wondered when sparklehorse would play but it was them
