Mark Linkous took his life yesterday, leaving behind three gorgeous Sparkelhorse albums and a collaboration with David Lynch and Danger Mouse that finally was going to get a release beyond its take-this-CDR-and-burn-it wink-wink release. Apparently, no on in the media was sure of his age, but he was in his forties. Update: The New York Times is now reporting that he was 47.
Sparklehorse, “Most Beautiful Widow In Town”
