Draft:Sparky Deathcap

Early 2000s–2007: Myspace era, Nosebleed On The 99 and Let's Build a Fire

Taylor founded the Sparky Deathcap name in the early 00s, and posted many songs onto his Myspace profile. Few of these songs still exist, notably including cosmic love infection, which has been archived across the internet. He independently released his debut EP Nosebleed On The 99 in 2005, however only three of the songs are still publicly available.

In 2006, Taylor was approached by Geoff Mendelson with an invitation to join the latter's record label 'Pulsar Music'. Taylor would proceed to send Mendelson a total of 23 songs (some of which appeared on his earlier EP) as well as a sketch for an album cover. This would become Let's Build a Fire, which released in early 2007. Only 101 CDs of this album were ever made.^[2].

2007–2013: Tear Jerky, Los Campesinos! and Haitus

After the release of his album, Taylor continued making music and touring with artists such as Jason Molina, Los Campesinos!, and Daniel Johnston, the latter of which inspired Taylor to incorporate physical art into his live shows. A show he performed with Daniel Johnston later became the 2008 film The Angel and Daniel Johnston: Live at the Union Chapel.

In 2009, he performed a ukulele rock opera called Misty and Canderel.
