Haven't listened to Sparklehorse in forever, but I'm glad he has a new album coming out.

That said, I thought the last song he collaborated with Tom Waits on was pretty disappointing. He always has a lot of guests on his albums, but this list doesn't look too exciting. I wish he'd do more songs with PJ Harvey.

THIS is one record I've been waiting on for some time now.
All three of his records including the EP Distorted Ghost are all fantastic but Mark's first record 'vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot' is one of my all-time greatest listening experiences. If anyone is interested in a YSI of any of these (later today) just shoot a PM my way.

and YES, recording a few more tracks with PJ Harvey would be in his best interests...or anyone for that matter.

'Shade And Honey'

I'm almost certain this is the song from 'Laurel Canyon' performed by that English bloke who had that thing for Kate Beckinsdale.

Only familiar with Good Morning Spider - never ventured further. Chaos/Happy Man was the jimmy-jam of late '98.

PM sent, mcaputo.
