I would consider murdering someone if it meant I could be in the studio while R&R were working on an album.

Mark 11 is funny though.

Obviously a man with a lot of time on his hands who may perhaps be questioning his own sexuality.

Well, I'm sure we've all been there. I've only just realised, ther ...

Aussie and Ron = Genius, I couldn’t agree more.

If R&R are intending to make a commercial release of the Shepherds Bush gig they may have wanted to avoid the need to have one track which has songwriting credits beyond "Ron and Russell Mael ...

I suppose they could do "The Singles" from each album. But I think there were different ones for different countries, so it might be a bit messy.

More of the same from me, too.
And to the web-streamers. I had no idea we were going to get access to all of those gigs.

One question - why has Russell taken to saying "Thank Ya" over the last week or so? Has he been saying this before and I haven't noticed? It sounds odd to me, but then I'm from the home coun ...

Just got back from the gig.
Autons were excellent. If they had been supporting any band other than Sparks, the headliners would have been getting seriously worried.

IMHO the album is packed with great songs but its horribly produced, this could be another winner of the 21x21 spectacular

I guess that R&R will be cautiously talking about a "best of" release as neither of them are going to want any of the "mistakes" , minimal and fun as they are, to be available ...

Fanbloodytastic, IMO.
Russell's greatest performance so far in these gigs.
WTS is an incredibly strenuous album for a vocalist. I've known Russell use his falsetto when the tenor notes are too high ...

As with Big Beat and especially with Introduciing, the live performance was a remarkably improved experience. It wasn't as great as those earlier ones, and there was still a problem with Ron's keyboa ...

It's Number 54, well done to the guys this is the highest charting album since Indiscreet.

I think we all know it should be Number 1 though!

Great news! It's just possible that the enormous fi ...
