SPARKS

A little bit of light banter, with just Ron on guitar and Russell singing

I was there with my friend Sylvia. I was pretty much a puddle of sweat by the end! Russ introduced the group as sweaty nos 1-4 and said next time they want somewhere with air con. I don’t know how he ...

There is a short review of the London show in the Spectator:

Of the three, Sparks was the unadulterated triumph. Of course, 28 albums in, something would be amiss if they couldn’t fill a headline s ...

Thinking of you all in London tonight and tomorrow. Have a great time. I will be indoors watching the Sparks Brothers DVD with a glass of cider.

Ditto and please don't forget to post some clips on ...

Yes, l thought Russell was a wee bit wobbly at the very beginning which surprised me because l'd just watched the Tokyo concert which was wonderful....

Watching the 2 performances on ...

A Long Red Light is in my top 3 or 4 of the tracks on Mad! Like I-405 Rules, it taps into the brilliance of Lil' Beethoven while also taking things in new directions. But Red Light for me stands out ...

I thought I should add a little bit to my original post.
It wasn't meant as criticism of the production on Mad.
But I feel the big improvement in production came with TGICIHL. Mad! feels in the prod ...

A question for the historians, what song has had the longest tenure as the closer for Sparks?

Didn’t know - that’s terrible news - Woofer has goot to be top 5 in anyone’s Sparks album list, and he seemed a very cool guy

I think this song is one of the best af the album...

but ... I would love a version without all those lalala`s

Ive been imagining a cover by Tool ;-)

MAD seems to have dropped out of the UK top 100 album chart

That's last week's chart................

This weeks comes out later today - if you are in the uk, or have a vpn, you can listen to t ...

Fingers crossed it doesn't take a dip between now and Friday.

Typically it will, because there's a load of day 1 sales from the fans (like me...), but staying power over the week is something diffe ...
