A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

does Sparks have a huge following on the East Coast, because it seems like only me, Mick from the Dirtbombs, and 4 other people out here in the Midwest like them.
Thu. 6/12/08 10:25am
From:

For some reason the west coast is a breeding ground for bands that have a killer sense of humor: Surf Punks, The Tubes, The Dickies and Sparks.

I thought Wisconsin's own Killdozer, Frogs and Couch Flambeau were pretty hilarious, but then again, I'm from the snowy North originally.
No, but really, where is the Sparks love in Minneapolis?

I had not heard of Sparks until Rollercoaster was on TV a few months ago, but my wife remembers a lot of her friends being into them way back in the day in Akron, OH

Oh, I stand corrected. Ohio loves stuff like that.
I loved that Jello Biafra called odd Australian group Skyhooks, "the Australian Sparks"

Squarepusher's mix on the East Flatbush Project remix CD is worth the price of admission.

Trouble,
Share your sentiments about Bo Diddley. Believe it or don't, I saw him at a Ramada Inn, Travel Lodge whatever, at some obscure truck stop exit on I-5. One of the all time weirdest gigs I've ever been to. Bo Diddley and a billion truckers and traveling salesmen. Not only was the woman I was with the prettiest girl in the place, she was one of 7 total present (4 were waitresses). They were totally unprepared for the crowd - had no idea who he was. It took a half-hour to get a drink. Two drink minimum no one ever came back to take the second order. He must have run out of money - needed that extra gig to make it to Portland, I guess.
