De los últimos conciertos en los que los cuatro tocaron juntos. Fue con Sparks bajo el supergrupo FFS. La despedida final es bella pero triste.

Seems like everybody's talking about the new musical film 'Annette' directed by Leos Carax with screenplay by Ron and Russell Mael of @sparks_official — from an original story, music and songs by the band. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ So it's a good time to revisit 'In The Words of Sparks...Selected Lyrics' from @imtoshberman of TamTam Books, edited by Ron & Russell Mael with Introduction by Morrissey.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Sparks--the long-running duo of Ron and Russell Mael--are among the most respected songwriters of their generation, their songs ranking alongside those of Ray Davies (The Kinks having been a formative influence), George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim. Formed in Los Angeles in 1971, Sparks have issued over 20 albums and scored chart hits with songs such as “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us,” “Cool Places” and “Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth.” While their musical style has changed dramatically over the course of 40 years--embracing the British Invasion sound of the 60s, glam rock, disco (they teamed up with Giorgio Moroder for 1979’s “No. 1 in Heaven”) and even techno--their work has consistently stretched the boundaries of pop music and the song form. Sparks continue to break new ground: they are currently working on a project with filmmaker Guy Maddin and are soon to embark on a world tour. Here, for the first time, the Mael brothers have chosen their favorite Sparks lyrics (to some 75 songs), editing and correcting them for presentation in 'In the Words of Sparks.' As James Greer--novelist and former member of Guided by Voices--comments, “Sparks-level wordplay is a gift, and more than that, an inspiration.” This book also includes a substantial introduction by fellow Los Angeles resident and longtime fan, Morrissey.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.
