“Well, I’m going to come right out and say that I’ve never heard of Sparklehorse,” says Charles Antaki. “There; that’s me disqualified as an aging hipster, or a hipster of any variety. So I looked them up, and there’s a couple of videos online which feature faux-naif montages (at least I assume they are faux), one of them unfortunately featuring many shots of a man in clown make-up wearing a Stetson. Anyway: the music is rather beguiling, in a rather melancholy way. Good for the calm-down after the England excitement and associated hoo-hah.”
