I onlyrecently bought my first Sparke album. Surprising really as I loved This Town Ain't Big Enogh. I thought it was Curved Air when I first heard it.

Interesting stuff. Wiki mentions "Sharkmouth" from 2013 which also sounds promising: "a blues album about Australia's notorious and colourful characters of the 1920s and '30s. Melbourne gangster Squizzy Taylor and Sydney's Shark Jaws, legends such as Phar Lap, Les Darcy and Sydney's famous graffiti artist, Mr Eternity".

Have just caught up with this one. Thanks - I agree with GK that it's good. Apart from the more obvious references they mention, it reminded me in spirit of the competitive - and surprisingly non-saccharine - a capella scene in US high schools. I won't re-post a lot of links but see that the Carleton Singing Knights' interesting version of Fleet Foxes' "Ragged Wood" is still on YT. That is, along with their less successful take on MGMT's "Kids" and Bon Iver's "Towers". We should have similar here as an antidote to X Factor etc.

(Too slow off the mark on the Game thread. Seemed a shame to waste it.)
Sorry that other Roadhouse song sounded a bit crap.
Try this one though - Telling Lies.

Ah, Rick James. When he died in 2004, I was at Benicasim watching Arthur Lee and Love. Arthur was very distraught about the news but it was still great to see such a legend live. I will never forget that evening.
