Music Weekly: Paramore

We kick off this week's show with an interview with Paramore, the teen-punk band who've outsold Mariah Carey and have fans all over the world. Rebecca Nicholson talked to lead singer Hayley Williams about being called "emo" and the panel discuss the merits of what Paramore's music has to offer.

Singles Club sees Alexis, Rosie and Rebecca hearing the first track from LCD Soundsystem's new album, and casting their ears over Nicki Minaj's Massive Attack and the re-release of Mark Capanni's original version of I Believe in Miracles (as made famous by the Jackson Sisters).

And finally, we hear from Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls about what the late Malcolm McLaren meant to him and his band, and the panel discuss McLaren's musical career after the Sex Pistols.

That's all for this week, we're interested as always to hear your thoughts on our interviewees and the music. You can find us on Twitter and Facebook if you so wish. Until next week, enjoy!
