Murder, she wrote

In advance of their new album Honey Moon, Rennie Sparks (of the wonderful Handsome Family) discusses William Burroughs, love, ghosts and murder ballads with some kind of vagrant (ie. me) now on Dogmatika

“That kind of thinking drives me crazy. It shows a complete lack of understanding regarding the purpose and possibilities of art in general. Murder ballads are nothing like real murder. They are rituals to celebrate the fleeting beauty of all things.”
