| | | Sparks
I would have sworn we had a Sparks thread. It must've been pre hack. Anyway I just saw this video ( which features Steve of Redd Kross) and I think it is amazing. Does anyone have the album? This made me really want to hear the album. Did anyone see them live? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KGaj...0dick%20around

| | | I only recently got into Sparks...maybe a few months ago. I love them. I can't stop listening to Big Beat. They confuse me, dazzle me, and all around pleasure me. Yes, pleasure me. |

| | | I think they're great. Back when I basically just knew the name but nothing else about them, I bougth a cassette ought of a bargain bin. It was really obscure stuff on it (personal fave: "Madonna"), but I loved it, and bought a cheapie compilation CD. They're brilliant and there ought to be a thread. |

| | | I only have one of their albums. It's the one with Eaten By The Monster of Love. I haven't heard it in ages as it's in storage. I have vivid memories of seeing them on tv though...

| | | Rock opera is right. I went on a Sparks catalogue buying binge this weekend. They've become one of my favorite bands.
I hardly have the vocabulary to speak or write about music, but they write and play songs that sound grand, absolutely monumental, absolutely mental. |

| | | I totally agree with this, such illustrious songs they seem so hard to describe...
I've discovered them lately too hearing their last record (Hello Young Lovers), and since then, I luckily came accross Lil Beethoven and Kimono My House.
Fantastic band. |

| | | i was listening to a Thurston Moore interview in which he declared his long time adoration for this band, and his discovering that Jim O'Rourke was an even bigger fan.
