Music Weekly - featuring Los Campesinos!


Los Campesinos relax after a swim.

Editor's note: So you know that this thing has changed now. Right here is the place to make your opinions known on this week's show and the 'issues' contained therein. To actually listen to the thing, though, you have to go here.

Anyway, we kick off this week's podcast with a look at this week's Brit awards. Few seemed to be able to find anything meaningful in the evening's proceedings, but Rosie Swash was there to take it all in and returned with word on Amy, an acknowledgment that Mark Ronson isn't all bad, and various mentions, not all approving, of the Brits school.

While Paul MacInnes returns as host, he hasn't bothered to do any real work and so it is that as well as blogging from awards shows, Rosie interviewed our guests this week, Cardiff band Los Campesinos! They talk about being "web 2.0", writing nasty lyrics and what makes it onto the Campesinos! Manifesto. Jolly nice young Gareth and Tom were too, especially considering they'd slept in a car park in Earls Court.

Dongle-wise, the Guide's Will Dean join us to cast his critical eye over Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, hotly tipped post-punk revival-revivalists Hatcham Social and Seattle indie band Band of Horses.

Please share your thoughts on any or all of the above below. If you see what we mean.
