R.I.P. Mark Linkous

Mark Linkous, aka Sparklehorse, is dead. He committed suicide in Knoxville, Tenn. Shot himself in an alley near a friend's house. Here's the New York Times account.

In honor of his music, here's his yet-to-be-released collaboration with Danger Mouse and David Lynch, Dark Night of the Soul. (It's been up at NPR for nearly 9 months.)

Here's a grim little note. Linkous is the second musician on this album who has committed suicide. Vic Chestnut, who killed himself in December, sings the song "Grim Augury."
