Music weekly - featuring Johnny Foreigner and White Williams

Look, it's a montage

This week's pod is all about the new. New Rosie (she now plays badminton), new Paul (he's fixed that annoying nasal hair problem) and new bands.

Getting equal billing on this week's pod are Johnny Foreigner and White Williams. Johnny Foreigner are the energetic noisy kids from Birmingham whose effervescent music makes like a cross between Sonic Youth and Los Campesinos! Rosie tries to get a word in edgeways to discuss being the anti-Twang and their determination to keep credible.

The music of Joe 'White' Williams is an altogether more laidback affair. Coming on like a more digital Beck, he blends breaks, samples and styles to generally funky effect. He joins Paul to talk about his album, Smoke, and how making music is the only thing in his life he finds easy.

Elsewhere, we're joined by the pod's favourite grumpy old man, Michael Hann, to talk through some new music from Tegan and Sara and comebacks from both Beck and Tricky.
