Frankie Sparo is a song writer on Constellation (GYBE! and co), sung on A Silver Mt Zion's Born Into Trouble a bit...
Wondering if I should get his album, Welcome To Crummy Mystics... A guy on another board recommended it very much...
But 20 Euro's for a cd you haven't heard a note of... that' s a lot!

You should try picking up the Constellation sampler, Music Until Now, there is a Frankie Sparo track on there and some other stuff. To be honest I wouldn't buy the album on the strength of what I have heard, there are some much better artists on that label, Do Make Say Think for example.

well he's different from the rest of constellation, more singer songwriter than post rock...

Yeah I guess, actually the tracks I have heard remind me a little of Tom Waits. I'm thinking I probably will but the Sparo album this year but its just not one of my priorities.

He sounds like Tom Waits? mmm than I might have to buy it...

That might not apply to all his stuff but the track I heard definitately sounded like it could have been from the latest Tom Waits album.

I noticed you were listening to Death Cab for Cutie, I haven't actually got anything by them but have heard they are amazing. What stuff would you recommend I check out?

well I don't have a lot of money... so Sparo will have to wait...

I have no cd's myself of Death Cab For Cutie, but I hear that their latest one, "Transatlanticism" is very good... Liked the singer's collaboration with Dntel, called The Postal Service very much too...

check the rock section, I believe there is a thread devoted to DCFC, you might find more information there
