Since they first properly struck gold with 1974’s piano-pounding art-glam romp, This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us, Ron and Russell Mael’s “band”, Sparks (its personnel has long since consisted of just the two of them), has been an ever-present gold standard for left-field pop – perhaps the world’s most successful cult act.

Further on, the glacially product-placing JanSport Backpack hilariously satirises our contemporary fixation with brand identity, often in preference over what's actually going on around us, or to us.

Now into their 80s, The Who’s core duo are in incendiary form as they step down from Teenage Cancer Trust patronage in style.
