North Carolina Bureau Of Tourism Film

Hmmm, how to explain this...

Well, North Carolina, you know?

It's the twelfth of America's original thirteen colonies. It's the birthplace of Dolley Madison. And currently it is home to Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous. This video is about ten minutes long.

Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain is really quite lovely and worth your money. Trust us.

Nice to see some Sparklehorse love on the gum. The new album is wonderful. Where is this video from? Is this a Sparklehorse EPK (electronic press kit) video or something? It's very similar to some of their earlier EPK's. The horse head is a dead giveaway.

i agree that the new sparklehorse totally rules. so does the state of north carolina, for the most part.

hey christy, my fave part on that ASU promo is 'proud as a peacock', hahaha! i'm like whadda?!? where the hell is ASU?

as for the horsehead, that whole thing looks like a 'lost' episode, except 'lost' has 'the others'...mr horsehead looks so lonely and bored, he need miss horsehead and other horsehead mutants! then they can party in nc!
