http://www.nme.com/news/sparklehorse/50109 I am shocked. Mark Linkous was an extraordinary musician, besides being a collaborator and friend of Polly. |

I know only a few of his songs, colaborations with Polly - they are great. "Piano Fire" is fanastic. Thats really sad. |

http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog= ... &tb=1&pb=1 Beefheart connection? There's a track on TMR called "Fallin Ditch": When I get lonesome the wind begin t' moan When I trip fallin' ditch Somebody wanna' throw the dirt right down When I feel like dyin' the sun come out 'n stole m' fear 'n gone Who's afraid of the spirit with the bluesferbones Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones How's that for the spirit How's that for the things Ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong 'n when I'm smilin' my face wrinkles up real warm 'n when um frownin' things just turn t' stone Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones 'n when I get lonesome the wind begin t' moan Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones Linkous's Spirit Ditch: I want my records back And that motorcycle gas tank That i, spraypainted black The owls have been talking to me But I’m sworn to secrecy I woke up in A burnt out basement Sleeping with Metal hands In a spirit ditch The moon it will rise with such Horse laughter It’s dragging pianos to the ocean If I had a home You’d know it’d be In a slide trombone I woke up in A burnt out basement Sleeping with Metal hands In a spirit ditch (mum on answerphone interlude) I woke up in A burnt out basement Sleeping with Metal hands In a spirit ditch The music couldn't be more different between the two, but there are some coincidental words in the lyrics. |

i agree about the Beefheart connection but mark Linkous was also open about his many sources of inspiration, and often indicated that books( Breece D'J Pancake, Pinckney benedict, frank stanford) and films were as important as music for him x bella "Did you steal the line from "Spirit Ditch" that goes, "horse-laughter is dragging pianos to the ocean", from a Louis Bunuel film? Yeah, I think that image is from Un Chien Andalou. " The Rock's Backpages Flashback: A Mark Linkous Interview Posted Mon Mar 8, 2010 4:28pm PST by Joss Hutton (1997) in Rock's Backpages http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/rocksb ... interview/ "Some of your lyrics are strange. Where do you get these ideas from? Are you a mentalist? It’s easier for me to communicate metaphorically than to have a dialogue. It also leaves it open for people to interpret the lyrics themselves and apply them to themselves. Through the years, people tell me that my records have helped them through some bad times. Some of them are influenced by dreams, some by facts that I’ve read. For instance there’s a line in Babies on the Sun which says ‘a ship full of horses was going down at sea.’ That line relates to a part of the ocean where captains of ships had to throw horses overboard to lighten their load. That’s a true fact. That part of the ocean is called Horse Latitude because of that. Some ideas come from nature and where I lived. I walked out my front door one day and was trapped because there was a bear in my truck going through the trash. Knowing there’s a seven foot creature outside that could rip my head off is exciting. I killed a rattlesnake the other day. I don’t like rattlesnakes. I was going to get revenge and make a belt out of it."...Dannii Levers put some questions to Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse http://www.leftlion.co.uk/articles.cfm/id/1492 |
