As noted by star commenter Ned Raggett in a Local H post earlier this week, beloved brother act Sparks are running through their first 20 albums in 20 nights at the Islington Academy in London starting tonight with 1971’s Halfnelson, with a 21st night dedicated to their new album Exotic Creatures of the Deep over at the Shepherds Bush Empire. Apparently, the shows can be seen online here (starting at 4 p.m. Eastern, I think), but the event is an excellent opportunity to run through some of the group’s videos in the meantime, and tip the site’s search results away from Jordin Sparks, at least slightly.

man i’d like to be there tomorrow night for A Woofer in Tweeter’s Clothing…
I would kill my beloved parents, my best friend, several puppies and an AIDS patient with a ballpeen hammer to see these shows.
Once upon a time, Saturday Night Live had a better audio mixologist. And they also had Danny Devito.
So great to see this post. :-)
I will take the opportunity to plug my discography for Sparks I’ve written for the latest issue of Arthur — details can be found via this blog post of mine, with downloading details etc. Thanks, personal puff piece over.
(Though I will quickly add a more direct way to the issue can be found here, since I’d received a couple of questions about it!)
They are doing No. 1 In Heaven on my birthday. SO UNFAIR! Want to be there.
If the powers that be in the I.M. Pei pyramid had any taste or sense, the Maels would be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
