Music Weekly: Laura Marling and thecocknbullkid

The Mercury-nominated teenager is our guest this week and brings a touch of grace and decorum to our unkempt pod. She talks with Paul MacInnes about her wonderful year, her pals Noah and the Whale and her ability to avoid getting wet.

Meanwhile, guardian/music editor Tim Jonze has been talking to Anita Blay, aka thecocknbullkid, whose electronic pop is turning heads and taking names. They discuss her debut album, working with Metronomy and racism in the music industry.

Tim, Paul and Luke Bainbridge from Observer Music Monthly congregate in the pod to review new music from the Aliens, White Denim and Heartbreak and also cast a few thoughtwaves in the general direction of the afore-mentioned Mercury Prize and its eventual winners, Elbow.

We want your thoughts, comments and reviews - and now you can post them below!
