Gotta love Moroder's soundtrack to Paul Schrader's "Cat People." The main theme still creeps me out.
Not familiar with Sparks, but they seem like a group I'd like. I'll add them to my Amoeba shopping list. Thanks for the info.
Hey Dennis -- New Pornographers will be in concert at the Wiltern with Belle & Sebastian in March. I can't remember the exact date, but I guess it would be easy to find out through the Ticket Master website if you're interested.
