Seriously, I don’t get it. Is this a mockumentary or a documentary?
That was lovely.
BTW, what did y’all think of Annette?
Finally gonna see them live next spring!
Neat! Am disappointed at the lack of vocals though.
I just realized that although I’ve heard the name plenty, I’m only familiar with Sparks through the Siouxsie and the Banshees cover.
Both of us! Both of us! Both of us!
Anette is incredible. Very hard to watch, and not in the way I expected, but really genuinely very very good.
Makes sense, sure…
Loved it, though it is clearly not for everyone.
Sparks is the best thing to come out of humanity. Will fight you over that.
Really highlighted the complexity of the music. Lovely.
A tribute.
I bought Kimono My House (the album that had this single on) at the time and it still sounds as good, decades later.
@Shuck - I did not even know that version existed! I guess we both have something new to listen to, now.
Weird Al still is amazing. I admire him so much.
It’s a documentary (I just caught it on Netflix this week.) What a great story about two of the nicest guys you’d meet.
the Sparks brothers
Sparks (i.e. the band, no “the”)
Thanks for this. 25 albums?! Where have I been. I guess I have some listening to do.
