Listeners know how we feel about the band Sparks and we had a rare opportunity that we wanted to share with everyone we've ever met.

You may not have heard of Noel, but if you listen to this show, you've definitely heard us sing the praises of two people who wrote and produced a record for her.

Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks made "Is There More To Life Than Dancing?" for Noel shortly after completing their "No. 1 Song in Heaven" album.

Noel's record is more of the same great dance music. (Good luck getting "Dancing is Dangerous" out of your head after you hear it.) Thankfully, the record is now available again on both CD and vinyl AND it's got bonus tracks.

We talked with the rather private Noel about the whole experience and so much more in this fascinating interview.

"Is There More To Life Than Dancing?" is available right now wherever you get your music, and you can order directly from the Sparks website as well.

Marqueetown is screening as part of the Beaver Island Film Festival this September. For more information and screening dates, check out their website.
