All for one, and one for all: Ash is a trio again
Thursday is now, officially, Music Weekly day and in our 15th show we have big-name guests Ash as our pals in the pod.
Tim, Mark and Rick talk about their fifteen years together, their split with Charlotte Heatherly and their long-awaited return to the live circuit, and reveal why they've switched the drugs and the booze for Sudoku marathons and jalapeno peppers. They also give us a taster of their new album, Twilight of the Innocents, which is out later in the summer. Their new single, You Can't Have It All, is out right now.
Elsewhere, Rosie tells us about Bill Wyman's metal detector, Roger Daltry's prized fish and Lars Ulrich's penchant for neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (coincidentally, her favourite artist, too), while in our dongles reviews we put Pop Levi, 1990s and Natasha Bedingfield under the spotlight.
As always we want your opinions - on this week's show, but also the following issues of interest:
· Ash: do you miss Charlotte now she's gone?
· What are your post-feminist and/or cryptofascist readings of Ms Bedingfield's comeback? (Here's our breakdown of the frankly terrifying video for reference.)
· Which rock-star hobbies did we miss?
