In a just world, these guys would have been one of the biggest bands from the UK in the 90s, not fucking Oasis. It all sounds so damned effortless with them.
Sparky's Dream and yes, I approve, great song.

If you need a theme song, you could do worse, sir.

Great track! I agree, they always make it sound so effortless.

I saw an ad for some stink water (Calvin Klein, maybe?) that used a cover of this. I vaguely remember it from the mid-90s. Exceedingly generic power pop. It's fun enough, I guess, but it's telling that the ladies are the lowest part of the mix.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

My class is discussing a disco book this week and I'm reminding myself that there's so much cool/goofy stuff going on there.

I always approach Disco as a fun thing. There's some amazing playing and some seriously great tracks.
