Alan Myers remarkable musician. Amazing (one-of-a-kind) drummer, and an incredible human being. whenever I look at my lighting at home, I think of him. The lights are bright.

Alan was not only kind enough to play with my wife Lun*na Menoh's band 'Jean Paul Yamamoto' but also added brilliant touches to the arrangements/songs. For whatever reason YouTube doesn't allow me to Embed the video - so I'll do separate videos here. This is "Starbuck's Hyper Bitch." With Moeko as well!

COMING MAY 14TH FROM RARE BIRD BOOKS!
SPARKS-TASTIC: TWENTY-ONE NIGHTS IN LONDON WITH SPARKS
by Tosh Berman
In 2008, Tosh Berman—author and publisher of TamTam Books—got on a plane with a single motive: "Sparks Spectacular." It had been announced that the band Sparks would perform all twenty-one of their albums in a succession of twenty-one nights in London...a monumental experience for any Sparks fanatic. Part travel journal, part personal memoir, Berman takes us through the streets of London and Paris, observing both cities' history and culture through the eye of an obsessive Sparks fan's lens. Including album-by-album reviews of all twenty-one albums and beyond, Sparks-Tastic defines a place and time in music history that's too defining to be ignored.

Adding the finishing touches to my book "Sparks-Tastic: Twenty-One Nights With Sparks in London." It is hard to say goodbye to the writing. If I had the choice, I would like to work on this book for the next 20 or so years. But alas, I have a date with destiny by the name of A Barnacle Book - my publisher. The book will come out this Spring 2013.
The cover is a painting by Lun*na Menoh, and it's a portrait of Ron Mael and Russell Mael (Sparks) from the album cover "Big Beat." The painting is one of a series of portraits of rock n' roll figures with dirty white collars. Lun*na collects men's dirty white collars and what she does with them is document the collars by its brand and country. And afterwards she either makes individual sculptures of each shirt collar, or make an oil-paint portrait of them. Lately she has been using her collection of dirty collars and making wearable clothing. For instance she made a formal wedding gown, as well as accessories such as purses, motorcycle helmet, jackets, pants, and so forth. including a bed, tea cups, and furniture - all made my men's dirty white collars.
To see more of her work, go here: www.lunnamenoh.com
The book will have 21 chapters, each one devoted to a specific Sparks' show and album. But keep in mind that this book is not a biography of the band. It is more about my love for their music and culture. Since the shows took place in London, there is a lot of information and commentary on that great city as well as Paris. The book is a journal, but it goes into the world of Sparks as well as my mental state at the time of the shows. More information later!
Ciao,
Tosh

Lun*na Menoh just had an exhibition in Japan, and this is her most recent artworks. And keep in mind that everything in her part of the show is made out of Dirty White Men's collars. The other artist at this exhibition is the painter Adam Lee Miller. The exhibition took place in Saitama, Japan at C.A.J. Artist Residency.
