Music That You Can Dance To
Teen heartthrob Ron Mael does Shopping Mall of Love at Thing in Port Townsend this year. Never fails to make me smile (and the girls scream)
Happy Sparksversary to me!
Three years in, and still hanging out for every announcement these brilliant brothers make ๐ซ
Oh and happy 50th for this masterpiece too ๐ ๐ฅธ๐๐
What a night with
@sparksofficial
in Melbourne, made possible thanks to a little help from my friends - you know who you are ๐
I hope Sparks know what an amazing community of fans they have.
Thank you โค๏ธ

my first ever Sparks concert! Just breathtaking and wish it'd lasted hours! Next stop Ain't No Picnic in 2 days โจโจโจ
My Ron won a competition!
This snap I took at the Royal Albert Hall second show won Best Photo of Ron on the A Steady Click Click Click group! And I get an actual prize woo!
Sparks were something really kind of special at the Royal Albert Hall last month ๐ซโญ๏ธโจ
Here are some of the pictures I took, which I have just uploaded.
Now to start that petition to bring them to Australia ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐บ
So blessed to have seen

Sparks break down the song Edith Piaf (Said it Better than Me) and Ron explains how they try to act like every album they record is their first.

took these beautiful shots of Sparks in London and said: "I loved working with them and produced several sessions with the duo including a couple of album covers."
Happy birthday Russell, beautiful bouncy man, supreme vocalist, inventor of the Power Stance and esteemed songwriter โค๏ธ
You bring so much joy, wishing you the most joyous of days.
See you and

The Fashion of Ron Mael โจ
Ron shook up high fashion when he burst onto the music scene in 71 by perfectly blending hip with silent movie star chic! A splash of eyeliner completed his look.
American Vogue 1971: "This boy knows how to rock slim pants!"
It's Rons birthday and I feel I need to do a personal post about this amazing human. I knew Sparks as a kid growing up in England like
@edgarwright
and found them again in 2021. Because of Sparks I've found best friends and the best music. Can't wait till they come to Australia
Why am I seeing so many moaners about this tour?
"They should've played the whole of Angst"
"I didn't want to have to queue"
"Ron looked old"
I'd queue over hot coals to watch Sparks play for 15 minutes. Let's just enjoy this. They are superb and they put everything into it!

A version of No1 Song in Heaven from 2013, that was used at the end of

film. It's just brilliant and evokes all the emotions of the photos used in the credit sequence. And of course their dedication to their mom and dad.

French TV producers in 1980:
Les Sparks! ils sont super spรฉciaux mais vraiment bizarres!
What should we do with them!
Disembody the keyboard player's head? Mais Oui!
Make them play outside les boutique pour adultes? Mais oui!
What actor would you have play you in a biopic?
Russell: did she ask about my favourite desserts?
Ron: *I definitely have never thought about this before* BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!
Edgar: Muppets ....

The Fashion of Ron Mael โจ
Ron keeps trouser aficionados guessing about a possible new look, refusing to be photographed in anything but black and white until 23 July 1973.
Dane Anna Wintour - "that boy knows how to hang those pants"
Keep thinking about when we saw Sparks in a car park after the Manchester show and Russell clearly wanted to thank the fans and was so kind and grateful, and Ron was like, start the car.
PROPAGANDA is the WINNER of the ๐ฅEXPLOSIVE ๐ฅ GRAND FINAL of the Battle of All the Sparks Albums (apart from some of them)!
Off to the orphanage with ALL THE OTHER ALBUMS. You may never listen to them AGAIN ๐ค
I don't make the rules Russell does.

After a FAILED military coup and some serious attempts at gerrymandering the EXPLOSIVE GRAND FINAL of the BATTLE OF ALL THE SPARKS ALBUMS (apart from some of them) is here! ๐ฅ

Here's the amazing and extraordinary Heidi commission that the extremely talented Otter
@churippu
did for me a while back!
Isn't she stunning!
Still on a Sparks high. I cannot get over - 1. How stunningly perfect Ron is. He's a damn supermodel 2. How LOUD they were. So powerful 3. Russell's energy levels which are astounding. Have to remember they are men in their 70s.
