I've been digging Sparklehorse, especially the tour. New album is great but I still like Hello Spider best. Any other Mark Linkous fans? I was amsued by stuff he's been saying in interviews latley, especially about buying classic rock-history gear at basement prices in pawn shops.

Anybody got recordings of shows from the recent tour? I haven't looked for anything on YouTube but am going to check and will repost a link or two if anybody's interested. I tried Digg-ing, but came up with few entries.

Great band but their new albums sucks.

Good Morning Spider is one of the best albums of the 90's, I'm not sure what Hello Spider is though.

I've heard Good Morning Spider. It was good, but didn't really make me all that interested in listening to anything else by them.

Basically an entirely correct post. GMS is one of my all-time favorite albums and easily stands up with nearly anything of its style that decade.

Linkous is just too much a drug fiend to get anything done anymore. Listening to the new one, with all the already released tracks and half-assed material, I tend to feel like he just needed some cash. It's incredibly sad, really.
