Sparks-Tastic

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, which Tosh certainly is. Part travel journal, part personal memoir, Berman takes us through the streets of London and Paris, observing each city's history and culture through the eye of an obsessive Sparks fan. Including album-by-album reviews of all twenty-one shows and beyond, Sparks-Tastic defines a place and time in music history that's too defining to be ignored.

Tosh Berman is an author and publisher (TamTam Books). His books are "Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World," "Sparks-Tastic," and a book of poems "The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding."
