Sparkin'.

March 5, 2011

So this is my first photo-post. I absolutely adore Marc Bolan, but I love it even more when I stumble upon a beautiful photo of him that’s in need of some serious digital restoration. This is what I do when I’m bored. Behold.

I’ve had this song running through my head for hours. Steve Martin’s “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” from that wonderfully cheesy Bee Gees & Frampton infused film adaptation of the Beatles’ classic album, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. I actually have the soundtrack on vinyl. And I’m not ashamed to say that I love every little second of it.

Here’s another one of my restorations. And, because Tumblr just hasn’t seen enough of the bros Mael. Top: black and white; bottom: colour edit.

Very cool to see the video I uploaded last night be circulated on Tumblr within hours. And since this page is mainly about Sparkin’, let there be Sparks! It’s almost ‘Equator Day’ anyway. ;D

A weird/great live Sparks performance of “Equator” from 1976.

Another restored photo from my collection. This is Marc Bolan. Isn’t he a delight? This world misses him. On the left: old photo; on the right: bright, beautiful restoration.

Another rare recording I uploaded some time ago. This is Sparks’ “A Trying Day”. It is believed to date back to 1979 or 1980. It’s a pleasant little song.
