A wave of dark music has inspired Good Charlotte to lighten up. “We look around and everything is dark dark dark theatrical death” Benji Madden said in an interview with MTV Europe. “I mean we did it with Chronicles of Life and Death two years ago. We just see music going that way and we said on [Good Morning Revival] we just want to go this way. If everyone’s wearing black we want to wear white” he said.

Music genres are a strange thing. You’ve got your Top 40 pop your indie pop your power pop and your dance pop. You’ve got black metal power metal even death metal. Given all of these potential labels it’s rather interesting to find a band that doesn’t fit into any one of them. That band played the Black Cat in Washington D… Music genres are a strange thing.

Maybe the new crown jewel goes in a glass case with a special light box or perhaps it just goes on a shelf somewhere for everyone to admire. So what do you collect? Judas Coyne collects macabre things: death masks real skulls a witch’s confession a noose that a man died wearing. Jude’s latest acquisition though is quite interesting. In the new novel “Heart-Shaped Box” by Joe Hill it might also be the most deadly thing Jude owns. Just $1000 the online ad read. Buy it now and don’t be outbid… Buy it now and don’t be outbid. A thousand bucks and you could own a ghost. How could a man like Judas — a man who lives his life catering to goths vampire wanna-be’s and heavy-metal music fans — pass on a chance like that? With the click of a mouse Jude had himself a ghost. r he had a suit anyhow. When the black heart-shaped box arrived it held a moldering Johnny-Cash-type suit that coincidentally looked as if it might have been made to fit Jude. The thing smelled terrible. And on the first night with the new suit the ghost of an old man appeared on the landing outside Jude’s bedroom.
Music is the weapon that slays Sparklehorse’s demons

Since he began recording under the name Sparklehorse more than 10 years ago Linkous’ short list of challenges has included a longtime struggle with depression a drug-related accident in 1996 that briefly left him paralyzed and most recently the loss of a close friend and collaborator when House of Freaks’ Bryan Harvey was murdered with his family at the start of 2006. His calf muscles destroyed as a result of lost circulation during his overdose Linkous now wears leg braces to get around but the damage from Harvey’s death still casts a dark shadow. “It was horrible” he says by phone from Austin Texas. “If it would’ve happened early on in the record I don’t know if it would’ve ever gotten finished. Luckily much of the album was complete and Linkous dedicated the long-delayed “Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain” to his departed friend. Released five years after his acclaimed “It’s a Wonderful Life” the new record is an extension of Sparklehorse’s unmistakable sound.
