This month marks the 1 year anniversary of our little club and the album selection is… It’s a Wonderful Life by Sparklehorse! Released in 2001, it’s the third studio album from the Mark Linkous led project and represents the first time that Linkous didn’t play/produce by himself in his home studio. The album was co-produced by Dave Fridmann and John Parish and features guest apperances from both Fridmann and Parish as well as Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Vic Chesnutt and Nina Persson. I absolutely LOVE this album and can’t wait to listen to it with all of you!

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“Hi! I’m Kevin and I don’t tattoo…I just think they’re neat. I’ve painted a collection of designs varying from my originals inspired by the traditional tattoo style, to redraws or reproductions based on outlines from vintage acetate stencils used in the tattoo process or flash sheets painted by artists to advertise available designs.
Half of each sale will be donated to Earthjustice, a 501(c)3 nonprofit law firm providing free legal advocacy to our planet.

Thanks for having a look!”
