Sparkadia unravel those knots brought on by sticky, gooey love. On New Year's Eve you play their "Space & Time," because the song's protagonist talks about how his love traipsed all over Europe, even through those tiny microstates nobody gives a shit about, and yet she returned home to dance with him once again. (Maybe one of those impromptu, fervent, we-didn't-even-push-the-furniture-out-of-the-way jaunts, where the twirls and touches are just part of one long, choreographed dance the two have been performing since he first laid a hand on her waist many years back.) It's a nice image to clutch as you fish for confetti in your plastic cup of beer, and fight indigestion brought on by vegetable egg rolls and the Jonas Brothers performing in the cold with fingerless gloves.
