By pure coincidence, this week's Guardian Music Weekly turned out to be a bit of a mini Canadian special.
First up is Martha Wainwright (birthplace: Montreal), who's back after three years with her second album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too. Rosie Swash caught up with Martha in London earlier this week to talk about her new-found political conscience, getting married and working with the Eurythmics.
Next up, Paul Macinnes sat in the back of a van and talked about life on the road with Toronto five-piece Holy Fuck. The electronic experimentalists discussed compromise, both creative and marital, creative doubts and blurring the lines between rock music and dance.
The Guide's Will Dean joins Paul and Rosie to decide whether the following Dongles get a thumbs up or down: there's Floridian Indie Pop with Black Kids, and their debut single I'm Not Gonna teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You, dance music from Heartsrevolution and their Switchblade, and 80s-inspired synth pop Back of the Van by Ladyhawke.
