#314 Sparks – Kimono My House

Posted on by anoceanroars

Sparks is a band I remember vaguely from the 80s. Really vaguely. I could not name one of their songs. Kimono My House is a funny title for an album, but since they are an art rock band it makes sense. I am excited to see what they created back in 1974.

Their music is quite funny lyrically with songs like “Falling in Love with Myself Again”.

It is a strange album filled with puns, sexual innuendos and a great falsetto by Russell Mael. I cannot explain this album except to say it is bizarre and you have to listen to it yourself. All the songs are basically listenable to really good. I wish I had discovered it sooner in life. It would have been a favourite. 9/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
