This week, Third Country Radio spends two hours with one of our new favorite bands: Sparks! The duo of Ron and Russ Mael have been the core of Sparks for over fifty years now, and with a new album due to drop this year, now is as good a time as any to explore their extensive back catalog. With so many great records to choose from, it's hard to pick only two hours' worth of songs, but we did our best! Tracks include "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us," "The Number One Song In Heaven" and their new single, "The Girl is Crying in Her Latte."
