Any fans here?

Mark Linkous had such a tragic life, and you could really feel his pain when you listened to his music.

If you are an eels fan, you will probably dig Sparklehorse.

    I got that Dark Night for the Soul compilation a few months back and realized that he is very good. So sad.
    I bought it because of Jason Lytle from Grandaddy was on a song or two..I didnt know who Linkous was. Any recommendations as to what to get next? Maybe the one Catef suggests?
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    So I got this one in the mail yesterday. I really like it so far (half way in)...But I thought I should tell any of you that are fans of Sparklehorse to check out one of my other favorite bands -- Grandaddy (Jason Lytle)

    Jason Lytle actually did a few songs on that last Dark night for the Souls album compilation with Linkous...But Grandaddy sounds A LOT like Sparklehorse...Similar vocal delivery and style.
