The Sparks Brothers (Edgar Wright, June 18,2021) Movie • Page 2

anyone with familiarity know where to start with them?

 

I was trying to find the part in the movie when sparks songs were playing and came across this, but nothing else.

 

Kimono My House is the best of the glam years. Great songs, great production from Muff Winwood, and it has their signature tune “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us”.

My favorite album is Angst In My Pants, which is a bit more new wave, less guitar focused, but the lyrics are really sharp and the tunes are amazing.

Their disco album Number One Song In Heaven is great too, produced by Georgio Moroder, the title track, Tryout For The Human Race and Beat The Clock are classics.

Their discography is uneven, there are definitely some lean years, but it’s usually at least an interesting listen.

I work for their manager from the early 80’s. Incredible stories.

 

This is one of my fav Sparks covers:

 

Yes. From a distance that is an owl, right?

 

Just watched this and loved it

 

damn Russ and Ron look incredible for being in their 70s and Russ still sounds great
Edgar did a good job bringing his weird humor to this while also being very much not a focal point, and letting their catalogue speak for itself and really captured that whole everyone who bought a Velvet Underground album formed a band thing
it's kinda funny with Ron's mustache that they never mention that they're Jewish but I guess that adds to the mystique

 

This was so good

 

I missed it when I saw this, but what was the mid-credit scene?

 

might have to go to raleigh

 

Hell yeah. Got my Blu ray the other day too

 

If you, like me, were interested in learning more about Sparks but found their catalog large and unwieldy, I made this handy guide over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGx...38159865303_1913787109&utm_medium=share_sheet
