I figured I could count on you, Brad, for some off the beaten path picks! Keep 'em coming!
Angst in My Pants is the only Sparks album I still own -- it was a formative album in my early New Wave development. And this song might have been even more important to me.

It was fun to see them grow over the years! They were the perfect band for the MTV generation, and they seized on that opportunity! Where many bands were never photogenic, and were overcome with (!) anxiety in front of cameras, Ron'n'Russell were ready-made, not just with their looks (cute + odd.....looking at you, too, Cheap Trick!!), but with an eagerness to make the most of the makeup, wardrobe, and acting this new frontier offered...."I Predict," just one example!
I played "I Predict" for my wife, who hadn't heard it before, and now we are both singing out: "You're gonna eat a bowl of chow mein and be hungry real soon...I predict."
