Music Weekly - featuring Glasvegas

Music Weekly strikes a blow for gender equality this week with our first-ever all-male pod. At last, men can throw off their shackles, achieve their destiny, and listen to half an hour or so of music, interviews and chat.

Our lead guests this week are Glasvegas, the Wall-of-Sound distorting, social-decay chronicling band from Dalmarnock whose highly anticipated debut album hits the mean streets on Monday (and received four stars from Alexis Petridis). They talk to Paul MacInnes about escaping dead-end prospects, getting just the right sugary sound, and the night they filled their parkas with 24 cans of Tennants.

Elsewhere, Tim Jonze talks to Mr Anti-folk, Jeffrey Lewis, about art, touring and compiling the illustrated history of communism, before reminiscing on the time they shared a bed.

With Rosie on holiday, Tim joins Paul in the studio, alongside the Guide's Will Dean, to review new music from Sigur Ros (Paul's choice), Metronomy (Will's choice) and, well, Glen Campbell (Jonze's choice).

Finally, we've got all your feedback and, continuing our new and currently nameless series, Rosie explains her love for the music of Terry Callier.

So we may have oversold the "men only" bit.
