Sparks official - April 17 2025:
#Throwback to Sparks’ past shows at @greek_theatre in Los Angeles. Sparks bring their MAD! Tour to the Greek on September 30th!
#peep rons skirt!#unrelated but the only reason race horses have such wild names is because they let ron loose in the race horse factory in the 80s#inventing new ron lore#never posted about this because i was unsuccessful but sometime last year i tried to find the origin of rons horse shirt#i went through several lists of winning race horses from 1900 up to the 1980s#did not find a horse matching the one on his shirt but i did find a bunch of insane horse names#and seeing him in that mask gave me war flashbacks of looking at pictures of horses named golden spearhead or something like that#ron mael#russell mael#sparks

the earth-shattering truth about the sparks different colors sweater (REAL not clickbait)
after talks with @where-did-the-groove-go about identifying the colors on the sweater i got out my own the very same kind of sweater to seriously count and i can inform you all it is not 15 as fanmael once claimed NOR is it 13 as russell claimed. it is 14!
in order, the colors are: dark pink, dark green, burgundy, yellow, indigo, pale yellow, light green, dark teal, red, light blue, dark orange, blue, gold and dark blue
#another unsolved mystery finally solved#thank you for your groundbreaking research 🙏#cant believe russell has gotten away with spreading misinformation once again#14 different colors sweater (formerly 13 different colors sweater)#sparks

A new interview!!
Don’t mind the City of LA Department of Sanitation noises in the background!?!? 😂✨💖🚛
#screaming at the little elvis in the background#we need to do something about the 'how do you manage to work with your brother for 50 years' question this is getting out of hand#maybe they should start lying again to keep things fresh#sparks#russell mael#mad!

DAY 2 of making Tina Kronis and Russell Mael dance to whatever song is in my head. This will continue until the MAD! albums is released, I receive a C&D letter from Sparks HQ, or I get bored.
Today's track is The Mayor of Simpleton - XTC (1989)

thanks for tagging me @seaofreverie !! here are my "9 perfect road trip/travel albums"
i decided to limit my selection to albums i own on cd to be more accurate to my driving habits, but then gave up halfway through. in the same spirit i also pulled the illegal move of including some compilation albums. enjoy!
tagging @pineapplefulfillseveryneed @nedison @betweentimeand42 @melangeknottings @sparks-polls ? (apologies if you have been tagged already and of course no pressure!! :) )
#i hope you enjoy how i sorted the albums into a gradient#most of these are for day driving except alessandro moreschi who i would only put on at night#the terrible audio quality would allow my cotravelers to sleep#while providing me with that perfect haunting feeling you need for driving at night

#this might just be me but doesn't ron kind of look like he'd observe you through two cut out holes in a newspaper?#russell seems like he would just stare; he doesn't care about discretion#sparks#ron mael#russell mael

“It was a long time ago, in 1981. My brother Pierre and I, living not far from the Forest National concert hall in Brussels, often went to see bands during their afternoon rehearsals. That day, the Mael brothers — Ronald and Russell — of The Sparks were rehearsing a few songs for their evening concert. We had no credentials, just a couple of 16 and 17-year-old 'tourists' passing by with a camera. No one asked what we were doing there. It was another era.”

#woah rare ron fit!!!#sparks#ron mael#russell mael#someone needs to start keeping a list of all the things people say you could just do without anyone asking questions in the 70s and 80s

Very serious question y'all. For Sparkstember this year do you all think we'll still have a day whatever or will it morph into a day for the new album?
#we'll have to start taking days away from october#like just keep adding days at the end and pretend it's still september#sparkstember logistics

I did some quick googling and found out that what Ron is wearing here is of course the award winning "The BowTie", a 3D printed bowtie by the japanese design studio Monocircus, available for 78$ in the colors black and red
We need to be talking about Ron's tie
#somehow this makes a lot of sense#i thought there was some kind of reflective surface underneath the mesh but it's just his shirt#bowtie mystery solved!#sparks#ron mael
