Dreaming of Fiery, Misty Mountains: Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse
Mike Diver, Drowned in Sound, 11 October 2006
WALK AROUND the stage of London's Bush Hall, through the dressing room, and there you'll find a small outside area, just big enough for a couple of chairs, a carton of juice and a packet of smokes. Here, Mark Linkous sits, a few hours prior to his performance as both the sole spearhead and one-fourth of Sparklehorse; DiS is his final interviewer of the day.
