Morrissey recommended Kimono My House by Sparks in Music (curated)

7.5 (2 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"In a glorious surge of deserved success in 1974, the very comprehensive lyric sheets accompanying Sparks albums prove that Ron Mael is clearly driven to tell, yet he answers the media by skillfil Quietism and by impersonating various walls. Ron Mael is an undoubted genius, and where else would a true genius live but in the catacombs of hell? Ron asks his younger brother Russell to sing the words - in chilling falsetto. Russell sings in what appear to be French italics, and has less facial hair that Josephine Baker. It is a scream, because the songs are screams. (...) Who on earth would write a pop song in such a way? A song about an arts and crafts competition where 'lovely Claudine Jones/has to come to push her quilt', but where Tracy Wise gets a prize. There is no category for this madness - except the category of madness, and Sparks are only let down by their name. At 14, I want to live with these people, to be - at last! - in the company of creatures of my own species"

Lost the plot
Yet another trashy netflix film that has just been churned out for the new content aspect. The script was obvious and stupid - within the first few minutes the main character talking to herself.

The main character is obnoxious, bratty and has one thing on her mind that revolves entirely around her. The premise is false and faked. Also, how many times do you want to use the roof broke/fell in as a plot change.

Character development is very limited, there seems to be a back story but it is never actually mentioned. The actual outcome of the competition is never shown.


Some of the young actors are very talented and I can see them having bright futures. I like the added layer with the deaf child.

There is a token black actor...... who is unsurprisingly the only outwardly camp/gay person.

Also Welly Wang?! Really?!

I suspect I am not the target audience but if I had tweens I probably wouldn't want them watching this drivel.
