Music Weekly: Mr Hudson and The Library

This week we play host to the only rapper whose preferred clothing material is tweed, Ben Hudson of Mr Hudson and the Library. He comes into the pod, along with fellow Library member Joy Joseph and his randy dog Dave, to talk about Japanese schoolchildren, the Radiohead record manoeuvre and whether a 2007 that saw them tipped as the next big things matched up to expectations.

That, however, is not all. Rosie puts her Watchdog hat on to discuss the iniquities of the secondary ticketing market with legendary and fearsome promoter Harvey Goldsmith. Paul, meanwhile, discovers that music isn't just made by white people in skinny jeans and talks of his love for the Malawian Barry White.

We also review new music by Mark Ronson, the Teenagers and, a band we really like, Vampire Weekend.
