Mark Linkous, better known as Sparklehorse, committed suicide over the weekend.  My favourite songs of his have always been quiet, like “Gold Day” and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” tiny happy-sad chamber pop pieces.  “Gold Day” features Nina Persson from the Cardigans, and is as beautiful a benediction as a pop song can be in four minutes.
