#Sparkstember2025 is on, and today is the best day for the Sparks-curious

Regular readers know I love Sparks. Even more regular readers will know that September is #Sparkstember. The plan is that you listen to every Sparks album in order, once a day during September. A few years back, as part of it, I did a one-line review of them all.

If you are at all Sparks-curious, then day #3 is one of the best times to dip your toe, as Kimono My House is their third album. From 1974, it is the album with This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both Us on it, and is the peak of their early 1970s glam-era. Give it a spin, babes, give it a spin.
