How many sparks does it take to
ignite a prairie fire? We don’t answer that particular question
this episode, but we do immerse ourselves in the sonic ocean of
Angst In My Pants, the 1982 offering by the influential
synth-pop band, Sparks. In our discussion, we look at the history
of the Mael brothers and the broad appeal of their music to
big-name acts including glam gods The Darkness. Arianne also
provides a tutorial on the phenomenon of vocaloids, and we
collectively bemoan the various and sundry drawbacks of circus
peanuts.
