The official Sparks thread

[ladyislingering]

Also, here's the new single! Sparks collaborated with Katie Melua (you can hear Russ on vocals here). You can tell their presence is quite thick here.

Click to be amazed.

It was just released a week or two ago.

So I was watching Sparks' performance of "Mickey Mouse" on SNL, on YouTube, and was inspired to make this:

Oh, Ron. How I love your face.

 

[snakes&ladders]

A very eclectic band and way ahead of its time

 

[ladyislingering]

Another silly comic.



...or two.

 

[ladyislingering]

Excellent news.

Ron and Russ have released news that "The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman" is in the process of becoming a motion picture!

These guys are very much a band you have to seriously listen to and think about. (that or I can't think )

I see what you mean about vynil sounding 'deeper' though

 

[ladyislingering]

Oh for sure! It's music for people who think. ;D

And there's always a punchline. That's why Ron Mael has never written a love song. By the way it was a birthday celebration in multiple Sparks-oriented places on the web on October 5th. It was Russell's birthday (and his age is still practically unknown, seeing as his birth year has been listed as a few different years over the years) and whom I assume is their publicist offered a sincere and legitimate "thank you" to everyone who contributed!

haha, I sort of vaguely listen to music cause I am often doing something else at the same time but these guys made me listen to them x.x

Nice
How old is he now?

 

[ladyislingering]

They require a lot of attention. That's something I immediately noticed when I found them. They demand instant critique.

I honestly have no idea.
He's anywhere between 57 and 65. Nobody knows.

 

[Harkat]

Well I really enjoy them regardless!
They are very unique, catchy tunes and good lyrics

What an old person >.>
