First Vic Chesnutt. Then Mark Linkous. If Daniel Johnston kills himself, there’s just no one left to die anymore.
Entire Sparklehorse discography on vinyl, save for the extremely rare first album Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot and his most recent but still in print full length, Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain. I didn’t realize I had all these rarities.

While in the market for a used car, I stumbled across the website of what could be the coolest used car dealership in the country. ‘The Family Man’ runs the Family Auto Mart in Melbourne, FL and stands out from the rest of the boring used car salesmen with his jovial, animated attitude. Watch this compilation of his best commercials, including 350 lbs of cartwheelin’ and deelin’ power, a three-minute cartoon at 3:11, and a studio rap / live music video at 8:00.
David Maus and Bob Dance can only dream of possessing the charisma of this guy.
