    Will the Moz song be debuted at the London gigs? (Score:1)
    I know two people going to some of the Sparks shows. I know they determined beforehand what albums would be featured each night. Did they allocate a night for the new album? Probably not.

    I wish Moz would do something like a proper studio album + b-sides from same studio sessions/period each night in a residency. I wish so many things, but I know they'll never happen.

    Looking forward to the new Sparks album!

            Is this the song about Russell Brand's cat?

              I don't get into songs that put down other singers. I remember back in the 90's there was a song called 'Morrissey rides a cock horse' or something stupid like that. What a bunch of unoriginal crap. Come up with something original for a change.

                    Sparks have refuted speculation that a new song attacks Morrissey.

                    Lighten Up, Morrissey is actually about a man who is unlucky in love, because his girlfriend doesn't think he'll ever match up to Moz.

                    Sparks' manager Sue Harris told PS: "It's a tribute to Morrissey. The Maels are big admirers of Morrissey - he's been a Sparks fan for years, and the feeling is mutual. "

                      Well, it's a good thing that the song is supposed to be a tribute. Otherwise, you would have the Moz fundamentalists issuing fatwas for the band because they dare reproach the Bin Laden of pop music.

                      On second thought, it kind of makes the whole thing disappointing.

                      Has everyone heard the song "Feel like Morrissey" ?

                      It's by a punk band called 30 Foot Fall, and it's very good. You should all check it out on some free download site somewhere.
