The band 'Sparks' on Netflix


Just watched a great Rock-u-mentary on the band Sparks. Netflix. It’s called The Sparks Brothers. I had no idea. At one point they played 21 nights in a row, covering a different album of theirs at each successive show. Might be the greatest feat in music history.

How can you go wrong with lyrics like those below:

“I hope it's just your laugh that is infectious”
"I may be ugly as sin, but at least now I'm tan"
"I married myself... I'm very happy together..."
"So, tell me, Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that, how was the play?"
