Music Weekly - featuring Hot Chip


Hot Chip: the pod attendees are marked in red

Good afternoon podders, we sincerely hope all is well with you.

In the latest instalment of Music Weekly, Alexis Taylor and Al Doyle of uber-popular electro outfit Hot Chip tell us about their new DJ Kicks mix and discuss their plans for the follow-up to the Mercury-nominated 'The Warning'. We also discuss the boys' dislike of the festival circuit - unless it's the Hay Festival. Plus, we catch up with James Chapman, lead singer of introspective indie band Maps, and review new music by Reverend and the Makers, LCD Soundsystem, and Mutya.

Rosie Swash is back too, so more reasons to be cheerful.

Of course, we want your bloggery on the following please:

Hot Chip: proof that it's the quiet ones you always have to look out for? Is there a British band making more exciting music than this lot?

Has Mutya made a terrible mistake with her first solo outing?

Maps: moody and emotive or just plain yawnsome?
