They are not crap, even if you don't like them, so I didn't put them in C/NC.

And hey there's a movie about them that started today. I think it will be the first film I see in a theatre since March 2020, and I have tix for Sunday. Looking forward to it.

Any band that both Morrissey and Jello Biafra cite as a major influence ought to be given a chance at the very minimum.

Saw The Sparks Brothers documentary last night. It exceeded expectations. Check it out if you get the chance.

Goin in a couple hours.

Also just read there is an hour long Sparks doc that came out in 2014, some Israeli dude made it. Need to find that not on Amazon.

Really good and fun movie. Brilliant guys, just brilliant.

It's great. Don't let it being an Edgar Wright thing put you off.

It's called Never Turn Your Back On Sparks and apparently the focus is on their fans. I haven't seen it, so can't comment further.

Thanks CP.

Never really paid attention to this song. Brutal and brilliant.

Just saw it last night. Great film, amazing story.

One of the more interesting factoids I discovered was that Ron Mael's "Hitler" look is actually based on Charlie Chaplin.
