Stuart Maconie presents solo and is joined by art-pop electro godfathers Sparks.

Your trusty 6 Music host Stuart Maconie presents solo today, guiding you gently through a radio woodland glade. His guests today are Art-pop godfathers of electro, Sparks! Formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by brothers Ron (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals), they're best known for their songs 'This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us' (1974) and 'Number One Song in Heaven' (1979). They collaborated with Glasgow-based band Franz Ferdinand in 2015 as the supergroup FFS, and they're here to talk about exciting forthcoming plans!

Why not try your luck at The Chain? A list of never repeated tunes in the thousands. Or perhaps you feel your grey matter is better spent on guessing the link between the three Teatime Themetime tracks? Tune in and give it a listen. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
