Music Weekly: Bon Iver and Florence and the Machine

Hello, goodbye and welcome back again to another edition of Music Weekly. It's our final "normal" show of the year and we've lined up a couple of good 'uns as guests.

First off, Laura Barton takes the Guardian music jet to New York to meet Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, the man behind For Emma, Forever Ago, the album that's been zooming to the top of many an end-of-year list (and is the Guardian's No 2, so to speak). They talk about his hectic 12 months, Steve Reich and the three – count 'em – three pianos in his new house.

Laura then hotfoots it to London to join Paul and Rosie in the pod for Singles Club. Under discussion this week is new music from Brad Barr, a CFCF remix of Cassie, and Peter Gabriel and Hot Chip's take on Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.

After that, the baton passes to man-about-town Tim Jonze as he speaks to Florence of Florence and the Machine about being quirky (or not) being hyped (unduly) and her obsession with decorating her bedroom.

Naturally, we've also got your faceback and exciting news about our non-normal (let's call them "special") shows that you can look forward to over the Christmas period. Which, let's face it, has already begun.
