James Lavelle, everyone's favourite UNKLE
It was the show before Christmas and all through the pod, nothing was stirring, not even a dongle.
Yes, it's our last regular show of the year (we've got some festival specials to bring you over the next couple of weeks) and we're happy to be sharing it with James Lavelle, kindly UNKLE and Mr Mo Wax, now, sadly, shorn of that tragic Mohican he used to sport in all the style mags back in the 90s.
Rosie and Paul catch up with Lavelle to talk about his year, his reluctance to get involved in the "punk-funk" thing and whether he can remember anything at all whatsoever about the late 90s.
Also on the show we have Plastic Little, a new hip-hop band from Philadelphia whose anthem is 'I'm not a thug' but still seem keen on using the b-word. Finally, Laura Barton joins the pod for the dongle reviews (it's a portmanteau word of unquestionable elegance) which this week feature tunes from Cazals and Soulja Boy and an unlikely dub remix of the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
Have a listen, tell us what you think. We're specifically interested in hearing about the following:
· Are you a fan of UNKLE's rockier direction?
· Are you a fan of UNKLE who is not a man?
· Are you happy with Plastic Little's use of the b-word and their justification thereof?
· Are you single?
· Would you like to come round for dinner?
