Music Weekly: Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip and Pendulum

In the latest edition of Music Weekly, spoken word is the preferred medium of delivery as Paul MacInnes talks to Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip.

Best known for their song Thou Shalt Always Kill, with Dan Le Sac providing the "skwinky skwonky" beats (copyright Michael Hann) for Scroobius's caustic poetry, the pair have since gone on to build a devoted live following and will soon release their debut album Angles. They talk about lyrical content, making their music separately and how their eyes first met across the aisles of HMV in Lakeside.

In more skwonkery, Paul also speaks to Pendulum, the drum 'n' bass group who are taking their act to the rock festivals this year and could be heading for the big, dread word - crossover.

In the pod, Mr New Band Paul Lester joins Paul and Rosie Swash to give three hand-picked dongles a critical going-over: Machine Gun, by Portishead, The Last Shadow Puppets and The Age of the Understatement, and some New Wave from New York with White Williams' single New Violence.
