Welcome, one and all, to the latest edition of Music Weekly. This week's show kicks off with art beast Gonzales, who happens to be in the middle of a residency at London's Pigalle club. Laura Barton met up with the Canadian musician to talk about being "welcomed into the bosom of the French", trying to blend musical genius with entertainment and why having Jarvis Cocker on speed dial helps get more people to come to your shows. Barton even manages to squeeze in a piano lesson with the man who holds the record for the longest ever solo performance (27 hours, since you ask).
Singles Club rumbles into action with Paul MacInnes, Rosie Swash and Will Dean. On the menu this week is the latest band to take on the Afro-pop mantle, Fool's Gold, and their single Ha Dvash. We also review an unlikely appearance from So Solid (who've dropped the Crew) and their comeback track, Since You Went Away, and cast our ears over the latest in a long line of "hotly tipped" new bands, the Drums.
There is, of course, more. Manchester-based arty post-punkers Everything Everything meet up with Paul MacInnes to vent their distaste at Kasabian's inter-song changeability and share their love for R Kelly, among other things.
As if that wasn't enough, Observer Music Monthly's Gareth Grundy salutes the talents of Liverpudlian quartet Shack in The Feature With No Name.
So there you have it, this week's show. Befriend us on Facebook if you wish, and please let us know what you think of the interviews, the music and the show.
