Welcome one welcome all to another fully transcripted* edition of Music Weekly and what a show we have for you!
Our main guest this week is Patrick Wolf. Twenty-five years old and already on his fourth album, he's a one-off with his uncategorisable sound taking in everything from cabaret to classical via electronica and folk. Tim Jonze is a big fan and their interview is a corker, taking in everything from self-funded music to the construction of sandwiches. It's so good we've pushed it out as a Music Weekly Extra.
Also on the pod this week are the Hours, the second act to return to Music Weekly (after Bat for Lashes) and the recipients of a four-star review for their new album See the Light. They talk to Paul MacInnes about optimism, streaking and, with some reluctance, their patron Damien Hirst.
Caspar Llewellyn Smith, editor of Observer Music Monthly, whose cover stars this weekend are the Hours and Hirst no less (tune in from Sunday for your chance to WIN an original Hirst painting), joins Paul and Rosie Swash to discuss new music in Singles Club. This week's tunes include Keri Hilson's cover of Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone, M Ashraf's Sound of Wonder and the new track from Dirty Projectors, Stillness is the Move.
All this, plus what producer Iain describes as "the best Feature With No Name yet": Alex Needham on the Magnetic Fields.
As ever, we'd love your thoughts on the show, your favourite sandwich combinations and thoughts on whether "art wank" is where it's at. Do post below and don't forget you can also Fan Us Up at Facebook.
