SPARKS

Reinforcements is the one I'm most happy to see here, but I'm super excited about Goofing Off and Whippings and Apologies too -- both songs seem like they were made to play live. I'm curious to see ho ...

Love it! My favorite of the pre-release singles.

Could easily imagine Damon featuring them on a Gorillaz track. But if they are really collaborating I hope it's something more interesting than that.

This song has become an earworm. I like it a lot. Does anyone have any thoughts about the meaning of this line:

"But don't we owe
Someone in Hell?"

Is that an expression that I don't ...

What's your source for this? I can't find anything about it anywhere but here!

Just been listening to a few tracks, I wouldn’t mind buying a hard copy if it’s available.

Thanks, that's good to know! I've been thinking about seeing if any labels would want to do a physical rel ...

I checked out the Bandcamp link, you're from Cleveland Heights? Hello neighbor! Any upcoming shows in the area? (Akron, hint, hint)

Well hey! I haven't spent much time in this part of the forum an ...

Hey, *I'm* an Other Artist!

I just put out an album that would probably(?) appeal to some Sparks fans. I wouldn't necessarily say it sounds like Sparks (apart from a couple spots that were directly ...

168. That was a lot harder than I expected! Surprised that a lot of the ones I missed were favorites of mine too!

I'm not a big action movie guy and the only John Woo movie I've seen is Face/Off, which was pretty fun ...

It's pretty great!

Ron and Russell have also mentioned another John Adams opera, The Death of Kinghoffer, as being an influence on them.

An album of one of his more recent operas, Girls of the Golden West, has just ...

Thanks! Don't think I'll order it now, but maybe if I'm in need of something to read in the future...

Didn't know there was a Divine Comedy book! How is it?

Really hope to hear those other three Urban Renewal Project songs one day!

Think that's gotta be Ron

Great read! Thanks for posting.

I always thought they were crazy for not playing that song during the Hippo tour. Just seemed like it would come off amazingly well live. Not holding my breath for it in DC, but fingers crossed!

We ended up seeing the band in Knoxville so we're going to skip the MI show. It's this Friday, April 1. Let me know and I can give you a good price!

YES! That hadn't occurred to me, but I'd be surprised if they weren't planning something like that. I saw Terry Riley play that organ back in 2009. Wish I still lived in LA.
