I played bass for @sparks_official for 5 years ‘04-‘09. It was a dream job because I was being paid to learn from the masters Ron and Russell Mael. Today is a very special day because it is Ron Mael’s Bday (Happy Bday Ron you’re a fucking genius!!) and also because @reddkross release their cover of Sparks’ When Do I Get To Sing “My Way” (link in bio). Here is a shot of the brothers and I a few years back when we were coincidentally both playing the same fest in Trenčín, Slovakia. I would like to officially thank Sparks for writing this song, I felt every syllable of the lyric deep in my core when I sang it. I’d also like to thank my former Sparks bandmate #joshklinghoffer for lovingly peeling off a ripping guitar solo. And with that I say hit the link in my bio and have a great Ron Mael’s birthday!! 🔊🔊🎉💗

紆余曲折ありましたが、「Annette」はアダム・ドライバー、マリオン・コティヤールの主演で８月中旬から撮影が始まるようです。
先週はニューヨークで主演二人のレコーディングが行われたようです。

Clash Magazine (January 28, 2019)
Sparks Announce Lavish 'No.1 In Heaven' Re-Issue

Ron Mael comments: “The most thrilling albums to make are those where you go in not having much of a clue what you’re doing or where you’re going, and where, at least once every thirty minutes, you ask yourself, ‘Is this what it means to commit both artistic and commercial suicide?’ That was the case with the 'No.1 In Heaven' album.”
