Second sold out show for Sparks at the Royal Albert Hall and another triumph. Very proud to take the traditional end-of-show photo, this time with their amazing band: Evan Weiss, Eli Pearl, Max Whipple and Stevie Nistor. If you were there, let us know!

Ron & Russell moved to London to record ‘Kimono My House’ in 1973 and lived in a basement flat in Thurloe Square. That place was a 10 minute walk from the Albert Hall and - taking the long way round - here they are 50 years later.

What an incredible night seeing Sparks play the Royal Albert Hall for the first time. Was so proud to take this photo at the end of this amazing concert. Such a great show. Just electric. Let us know if you were there x

Viva Sparks! ⚡️ ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Whatever order you like! The documentary will give you a great introduction to the band, but this new album stands on its own too.

I've raved enough. 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' is available everywhere as we speak. Take a listen, buy the exquisite vinyl edition if you wish, but most importantly, I hope you enjoy it on repeat, as I have. Do let me know if you love it too.

I joked with Ron and Russell that they've been crafting the perfect epitaph songs for themselves since 1974’s 'Bon Voyage'. And 'Gee That Was Fun' is no exception.

The album closes with the rousing 'It Doesn't Have To Be That Way' and heartbreaking chaser 'Gee That Was Fun.' The latter, just stops me dead. It's another melancholic, dryly funny example of Sparks' mastery of bittersweet bangers.

There's the brutal 'When You Leave', about how much better a social event becomes once YOU’VE departed. And 'Love Story' introduces the alarmingly specific tale of someone to trying to save his spot in line while scoring drugs for their girlfriend. I believe this is a first.

Other standouts include the infectious melody of 'You Were Meant For Me', the anthemic 'Not That Well Defined', and the boisterous middle 8 of 'Take Me For A Ride' which chants, "LET'S GO, LET'S GO LAURA!".

The opening trio of singles, 'Latte', 'Veronica Lake' and 'Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is', followed by the minimalist gem of missed connections 'Escalator' exemplifies everything that is Sparks; simultaneously funny, profound, inventive, and irresistibly catchy.

So, it pleases me to no end to call 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' another triumphant classic. Packed with brilliant melodies, keen observations and witty lyrics, this album could be a greatest hits collection on its own or it could be your FIRST introduction to Sparks.

It's also their first LP on Island Records since their mid-70s breakthrough. But don't call it a comeback! Sparks are staggering in their irrepressible invention and alarming consistency. Name another band where an album in their sixth decade ranks among their finest. You can't.

I come to rave. Today, SPARKS release their 26th album, 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' and I highly recommend listening from start to finish. It's the first to be written after my doc on the legendary Ron & Russell Mael and it made me swell with pride once more.

Huge props to the cast of ‘The Borrowers’.

That too. Italian hunks with hunks of bread and cheese. I’m in.

Disappeared into #theeightmountains and didn’t want to come back. A gorgeous epic about friendship, adventure and some cheese making from Felix van Groeningen & Charlotte Vandermeersch, starring Luca Marinelli & my amico Alessandro Borghi. Made me want to jack it all in and venture into the wild…

Having read the book too, I would say: do go and see it.

There's much, much more to talk about. But the headline is: see it. I was lucky enough to see it a few weeks ago and I cannot wait to see it again. It's quite the feat of cinema.

The cast, led by DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone & Robert De Niro, are exceptional, the latter in one of his wiliest performances, right down to his final seconds. To see this epidemic of insidious gaslighting brought to graphic life, is urgent & sobering. You won’t stop thinking about it.

Am in awe of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. A profoundly powerful & disturbing film on an open wound subject. It's both intimate & epic, vividly tangible & exquisitely rendered by Martin Scorsese on incendiary form. Perhaps his best of this century. A must see on the big screen. 1/3

Congrats to Ruth Wilson & the whole team for this theatrical experience. What a wild marathon. I was terrified but very proud to be 'Marty' for 15 minutes. Walking onstage to meet her Virginia with no prior discussion is one of the craziest things I've done. She's incredible.

Performed the 3 page dialogue scene. Got some laughs. Called her ‘Virginia’ “unflappable any hour of the day or night”. Ate noodles with her Lady & The Tramp style. She took off my shoes and danced in them. I put on her heels and danced in them. Off stage by 8 AM. It was electric. Would recommend.
