Sparklehorse are/is (delete as you feel necessary) to tour Europe following his/their (yup) appearance at May's ATP Vs The Fans weekender at Minehead Butlins.
The band - it is a band - will be supported by Fennesz or The Dead Texan on a number of these dates. I dunno who the latter is/are, but my friend has one of their songs on her MySpace page. It sounds nice. Nice.

horsey books
Ah, that's a shame, nothing near me this time round. dang.
I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" at the moment. It was Mark Linkous's lyrics that first turned me on the CM's books, so I can recommend other Sparklehorse fans to read some too, starting with "All the Pretty Horses"
horsey books, huh?
read most of em'.
blood meridian's prob the best in my view.
suttree's different from the rest and very good for that very reason.
The Dead Texan as support!
this is mighty good news. My girlfriend plays that on the bedroom stereo many an evening.
yay
glasgow date

This makes me too happy. Im away for to sleep for a couple of months. Ill set my alarm for the 7th
Dead Texan is support?
I just came.
Oooo
...thats me! (the friend with 'The Struggle' Dead Texan as the profile song) - i feel honoured.
I might even see Sparklehorse again just to see them! (don't get me wrong i love Sparklehorse but last time we saw them i was BORED) - people of DiS please don't hate me for saying that...
When i say...
'Them' I mean 'him'...or do i? Its too confusing.
