i love ned sparks. i took a global cinema class at cornell and we watched gold diggers of 1933. how we laughed at ned sparks, and called him squidward.

then a few weeks later we were watching imitation of life and there's this part where a dark figure is lurking outside the main character's restaurant, and it takes forever for him to finally emerge from the shadows, and it was none other than ned sparks, who says in that voice of his, "SOME RAIN!"

it was pandemonium, we fucking died laughing, i don't know why it was so funny but it was.

digging the show Joe! I never heard those Elton demos neither. Elton, for the most part, was a great singles artist, methinks

Elton's support at the Troubadour was David Ackles. Who?

Hey there, Joe. I'm quite late to the show, but here I am anyway.
Is this really Richard Dawson, aka the creepy former host of "Family Feud"?

@Dennis: Thanks! Yes, they are very nice versions, I think. Very much adapted to his voice; he made them work for him. I'm partial to a couple of Elton LPs (particularly "Madman" and "Tumbleweed"), but I agree that he's strongest on his singles for the most part.

aside, i just sent this commie pinko fag article to the Lower East Side Ecology Center, with excerpts: www.villagevoice.com...

Filastine and Nova believe that the constraints of nationalism and global capitalism enslave the human race; their album title presupposes that many will call them crazy because their art advocates the need to abandon both systems. The ever-expanding suite of music and videos tied to Drapetomania makes one wonder what might happen if this multimedia project got as much press and exposure as Beyoncé’s Lemonade — and given the diverse sources of inspiration for Lemonade, it wouldn’t surprise me if…
The desire to imagine and live a better life. Yet Filastine and Nova are not so much anti–wage labor as they are pro-responsibility. They want all captains of industry to honestly reassess the social and ecological damage done by structuring businesses around ideas like artificial scarcity, conspicuous consumption, planned obsolescence, and maximum profit.
