    Aline Giordano interviews Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse in Portsmouth for Uzine ... Page 1 of 3 - Sparklehorse - .:: Portsmouth, Wedgewood Rooms - UK- 01 October 2006 ::. Interview by Aline Giordano If you are a regular reader of Uzine, you would have already guessed it… I turned up un- announced at the Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth. A few technicians were keeping busy… I looked around me and a chap came to me with a big smile on his face. I took the opportunity to introduce myself and asked if I could interview Mark Linkous. The chap who happened to be Sparklehorse's Tour Manager told me that Mark had not planned on doing interviews, but very kindly offered to ask the man himself if by any chance he would be willing to change his mind.So I sat and waited, and watched the preparations for the concert… I watched people walking back and forth, being relaxed, sorting out their gear, smiling at me, one member of the party had his little girl with him and they were having much fun checking out the xylophone. I thought that this must be the new clean world of Mark Linkous. The fact that I mentioned interviewing Vic Chesnutt and Richmond Fontaine certainly helped, because he came to greet me and agreed to do a short interview.I had prepared enough questions to last me an hour, but I had agreed for a 10 minute interview and I did not want to abuse Mark's generosity. In the end we talked for 25 minutes. As I'm writing up the interview, a few good weeks have passed since I met with Mark, and I can still clearly remember how Mark walked with his limp, how he slowly lit up his cigarettes and how gentle his voice sounded.
  • The Devil and Daniel Johnston Discussion Guide

    The Devil and Daniel Johnston Discussion Guide

    www.influencefilmclub.com The Devil and Daniel Johnston Discussion Guide Director: Jeff Feuerzeig Year: 2005 Time: 110 min You might know this director from: Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King (1993) FILM SUMMARY THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON is not a straightforward biographical tale of a madman genius. This manic- depressive escapade has two protagonists, those spelled out in the title itself. Daniel Johnston, the child-like man, the artist, the musician, the living legend, the genius wordsmith with a direct line to the heart. And the Devil, that evil that haunts his mind, the dark tendencies of his mental illness, the forces that motivate him to beat a friend over the head with a metal bar or pull the keys out of the ignition of a mid-air plane. Director Feuerzeig spent four years piecing together 110-minutes of raw, unfettered footage. Rather than using present-day Daniel as the film’s narrator, he chose to feature little of his modern-day persona. Instead he turned to the stockpile of cassettes and videos at his disposal, complete with Daniel’s daily meanderings, disjointed thoughts, and heart-wrenching melodies to narrate this tale of an incredible soul who to this day writes songs, paints pictures, and struggles to manage his discombobulated mind. Daniel Johnston’s artistic output is prolific, to say the least and THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON makes great use of this man’s vast supply of film footage, cassette recordings, and original artwork, intermingling these relics alongside interviews from the cast of characters who have populated Daniel’s winding road through life.

    Sparklehorse Founder Made Haunting Music Page 1 of 2

    Print Article: Sparklehorse founder made haunting music Page 1 of 2 Print this article | Close this window Sparklehorse founder made haunting music Published: March 13, 2010 - 3:00AM Mark Linkous created fractured songs that told of Advertisement sparrows, ''painbirds'' and junebugs; fabulous meditations on the beauty and impermanence of life. The American singer-songwriter, who has killed himself aged 47, worked with the Flaming Lips, Daniel Johnston and Danger Mouse, but is best known for the spectral country-folk music he recorded as Sparklehorse. His songs were infused with a strong sense of intimacy and place, chronicling what he called ''the dangerous, spooky part of the south''. Frederick Mark Linkous was born into a coalmining family in Arlington, Virginia on September 9, 1962. His musical epiphany came through hearing the Animals' House of the Rising Sun , a sensation he described as ''louder than a dirt bike''. In his youth, he began absorbing the regional country sounds of George Jones and the Stanley Brothers, before falling in love with punk acts such as the Sex Pistols and the Damned. By the time he was 12, his parents had divorced. He went to high school in Charlottesville and became, by his own admission, a ''juvenile delinquent''. In his late teens, Linkous and his band, the Dancing Hoods, lit out for New York and Los Angeles, but after two unsuccessful albums - 12 Jealous Roses (1986) and Hallelujah Anyway (1988) - he returned, disillusioned, to Virginia. Hearing Tom Waits's album Swordfishtrombones inspired Linkous to start afresh. He formed the Johnson Family, a band that played only ''300-year-old Irish songs'' and began fashioning new tracks with the same purity of spirit as those old-time tunes.

    Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)

    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.

    Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’S Independent Rock Scene

    Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’s Independent Rock Scene by Michael Robert Audette-Longo A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Michael Audette-Longo ii Abstract This dissertation examines the articulation and reconfiguration of locality in Ottawa's independent (indie) rock scene. It argues that styles of producing and relating to indie music that have been traditionally embedded in local scenic activity and practices of “do it yourself” (DIY) have been translated into more ubiquitous, quotidian, and valuable metadata and labour that organizes and powers the operations of disparate digital media sites, including digital music services like Bandcamp, CBC Radio 3, and Wyrd Distro. This argument is developed through closer analyses of the following case studies: the entrepreneurial strategies and musical focuses of Ottawa-based independent record labels Kelp and Bruised Tongue Records; scene-bound media like zines, blogs, music video and campus/community radio; the re-articulation of local regions as metadata that organize the search and retrieval functionalities of the digital music streaming services CBC Radio 3 and Bandcamp (a particular iteration of local regions I dub the “indexi-local”); and the concurrent incorporation of DIY labour and reconfiguration of the business of independent music evident in the digital music retailers Bandcamp and Wyrd Distro. This project contends that in the midst of digitization, the media sites, entrepreneurial strategies, and subcultural practices traditionally folded into the production of independence in local indie music scenes persist.

    Visiones simbólicas. Una mirada al universo de Daniel Johnston Daniel Johnston Visiones simbólicas (2012) Qué vemos La exposición gira en torno a los dibujos del artista. Organizados cronológicamente, nos acercamos a ellos a través del alfabeto simbólico colgado en una gran lona de plástico. También podemos escuchar antiguas cintas con sus grabaciones, interactuar con imágenes y sonidos, ver unos vídeos sobre su obra y viejos cuadernos digitalizados o hacer girar un zoótropo. Todo para adentrarnos en ranas oníricas, figuras angélicas o demoníacas, chicas y superhéroes de la Marvel, destacando por supuesto el Capitán América: personajes que rodearon a Johnston en su infancia se mezclan con los creados por él, acompañados a menudo de referencias autobiográficas. Qué sentimos A través de la que ha sido considerada su alter ego, la rana Jeremiah, volvemos por un momento a nuestra infancia, recobramos aquellas luchas encarnizadas entre el bien y el mal, sufrimos por los desamores de la adolescencia y el dolor del aislamiento… Y nos quedamos ahí. No hay espacio para el mundo adulto maduro y ordenado: Johnston continúa viviendo en su particular universo, donde nada sucede según lo establecido. De qué podría estar hablando De su propia vida, de los personajes de su infancia, del demonio, del sexo, de los Beatles, de Laurie, su amor platónico… La mayoría de sus personajes se enfrentan a la maldad, la corrupción y la muerte antes de alcanzar la redención, siendo numerosísimas las resonancias bíblicas que aluden a su educación. Por qué plantea este tema Crece en la América más cristiana y conservadora, comprando cómics sin cesar, principalmente para disfrutar de las imágenes, para hacerlas suyas.

    Ink 19 :: Daniel Johnston Page 1 of 6

    Ink 19 :: Daniel Johnston Page 1 of 6 Daniel Johnston by Stein Haukland courtesy www.gammonrecords.com His legend tends to overshadow his genius, but with his new album Fear Yourself , Daniel Johnston is out to prove his real value. Hailed by everyone from Sonic Youth and Kurt Cobain to Sparklehorse as one of our times' most important songwriters and performers, Johnston has created a musical universe quite unlike anything else out there today. The general media may want to focus on the years spent in mental hospital and on how he distributed his early tapes -- mostly songs about Casper the Friendly Ghost, super heroes and popular stars of the day -- by giving them away to pretty girls on the streets. But as his work over the years so convincingly attests, Johnston is much more than some original character. Daniel Johnston writes songs of classic beauty with melodies that twist and turn and take you places you've never been before. His performances are emotionally naked and almost shockingly honest. Some early albums have been marred by an absurdly lo-fi production, or by studio musicians unable to provide the necessary sound for his songs. But on Fear Yourself , Johnston has gotten together with Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous -- another eccentric whose reputation too often overshadows his unique ambition and sheer talent -- to create one of the finest albums you've never heard. Talking on the phone from his home in Texas, Johnston proved to be every inch as honest and unpretentious as his music suggests he'd be. I just got your album, and I'm really impressed by it.
