Huw (Merry Christmas E…): And a Happy New Year already

+ 10 - 11 | § Sparks - Dicking Around Again

Following the recent release of their critically acclaimed album "Hello Young Lovers", legendary rock band, SPARKS, will release their double AA side single "Dick Around" and Waterproof" on Monday September 25th (via Gut Records). The band will also release an exclusive download of "Change (live)". This is the very first time a live version of this song will be made available. All the tracks featured on the single will also be available to download from all good UK download stockists.

Sparks' live shows are spectacular and, following the successful European tour in February 06, Sparks return for a series of rare festival performances and a second headline tour which will kick off in Paris on September 27, Bristol (Sept 28), London (Sept 30), Brighton (Oct 1), Wolverhampton (Oct 3), Cambridge (Oct 4) and Glasgow (Oct 5).


Could this be a pair of serial killers contemplating their next victim? Or could it be Ron and Russell Mael seen auditioning for a SpecSavers commercial?

+ 10 - 8 | § Miami Vice - oldies power?

One curious little fact I noticed about the smash-hit film of '80s cop series, Miami Vice - according to CNN, "The movie was especially attractive to older audiences, with 62 percent of the audience over 30, according to the studio's exit polling."

So who said movies are just kid's play?
