In this episode our heroes discuss the alt rock universe of Virginia based multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous, who went by the stage name of Sparklehorse. His 1995 debut ‘Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot’ was well received and had echoes of Tom Waits, Flaming Lips and Pixies. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and end up in a laughing fit about a man obsessing over tape loops that sound like trains.
