For the exciting finale of a long string of GE shows examining the mysteries and joys of collaboration, amazing vinyl archivist Miss Deena playfully spars with your host The Rock’N’Roll Nurse to play the best (and most surprising) recorded collaborations ever!  Thrill to the sounds of creativity in collision and collusion, fellow music geeks!

Brothers Ron and Russell Mael have been amazing musical collaborators since 1968, when they started HALFNELSON together. In the ’70s that band became SPARKS and exists to this day. From their first LP produced by TODD RUNDGREN in 1971, they produced a plethora of irreverent and visionary records over the following 30+ years, with many songs co-written with each other. This episode of GE compiles some great tunes from 1971-2006 for your listening pleasure. Enjoy the dada-pop with fangs, fellow music geeks!
