A gentleman called Tommy Sparks has got a single coming out in 2009. It is billed as 'disco punk' (FYI it is neither disco or punk) and it's called 'I'm A Rope'. This is all boring. What is inter­est­ing is that the video purports to feature 16 people being hyp­not­ized into believing that Tommy Sparks is brilliant. And that, readers, is what they call an open goal.

We suspect the hyp­not­izer business is made up rubbish, although we shared this thought with A Man At The Record
Label and his reply was "I swear on my life it is true!! We totally
hyp­not­ized everyone. I promise you!! It was totally insane!!! It is so
funny people keep coming in my office saying you are lying that never
happened. I promise you. It is real."

Either way, it's a great video.

Incidentally we like 'I'm A Rope' but we have a CD on our desk featuring various tracks by Tommy and they're better and poppier than 'I'm A Rope'. It's hardly Same Difference but it's all very second-coming-of-Ali-Love — we suppose for the purposes of intro­du­cing him to 'taste­m­akers' it has been decided to hold those back for the time being.
