As this blog is named after a song that Mark Linkous wrote I want to note his death.
His family say:
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that our dear friend and family member, Mark Linkous, took his own life today. We are thankful for his time with us and will hold him forever in our hearts. May his journey be peaceful, happy and free. There’s a heaven and there’s a star for you.” – March 6, 2010

Really sad – I’d lost track of his recordings over recent years, but was once a big fan. Terrible shame.
