Music weekly - featuring Portishead

The Portishead, in full

It's that pod time of the week and strike us down with forked lightning if the package ain't something of a corker.

Our first guests are Portishead, fresh from the successful critical reception to their third album Third. Rosie chats to Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley from the band about touring, egos, and massive amounts of gak.

Our second guests are Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, the beauty and the beast of folk rock. She used to play cello for Belle and Sebastian, he's the singer from Screaming Trees and together they make dark-hearted love songs that play on their stark vocal differences. They're better at singing than they are at being interviewed, but Rosie did get them to open up about the history and nature of their musical relationship.

Finally, on Singles Club, Observer Music Monthly's Luke Bainbridge joins Rosie and Paul to discuss new music from JayMay, Jay Reatard and Infadels.

Please share your thoughts on anything and everything below, but first: listen to the show
