Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone Music Now.

There's an absolutely fantastic new music documentary out now called The Sparks Brothers, and it is of course about the band Sparks and it's

directed by the great Edgar Wright known for everything from baby driver to Sean of the Dead.

And the thing about Sparks is that they are very difficult to describe

a band that has transcended eras and genres like perhaps no other.

But to help us understand, we have with us for today's episode,

Ron and Russell Mayo from Sparks and Edgar Wright. We're going to talk

about their whole career and about that documentary which is a extremely unique and again excellent rock documentary.

So let's hear all three of these guys introduce themselves

and we'll get right to the conversation.

This is Ron Mail from Sparks. And I'm Russell Mail from Sparks and I'm Russell Mail from Sparks and I'm Russell Mail from

Sparks and I'm Edgar Wright not from Sparks and thanks again to all three of you for being here. This is an exceptional opportunity. I hope everyone

listening realizes how special this is, but I guess I would start by asking something of Edgar. The biggest thing I took away from this

documentary which I just loved was a lesson that's larger really than music. It may even be larger than art, but I was thinking for anyone with a creative career or anyone who just wants to keep going.

The message seems to be, allow the slate to go blank, have the courage

to start over, and you can move forward and go far beyond what anyone could imagine.

And I was curious if you kind of took that message yourself

as a creative person, both from making the documentary

and just from what these guys have achieved over the years.

I guess not something that I necessarily learned from the documentary, but more something that

I was very impressed by before I'd even met Ron and Russell was if there was a seed of the

inspiration for the documentary it's because I'd been following Sparks career
