Music Weekly podcast: Hookworms go wah-wah, and Charli XCX goes it alone

The best laid plans were thrown to the wind this week, as a couple of last minute interviews came in that were too good to miss.

Alexis went to see Hookworms, and said it blew his mind. In fact, he got so excited he climbed on to the stage (thankfully after they had finished the gig) and asked them to come in for an interview. The result includes references to some very good whistling skills.

Tipped for success in 2013 by, er us, Charli XCX is more than rising to the prediction. After lots of guesting and touring with others, she's got her own album – True Romance – coming out on April 15. She talks Tumblr, touring and unashamed pop with Kieran.

Tim Jonze is our guest, and he's just been to New York to meet the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. He's brought a track from their latest album in for Singles Club, which also features remixes of tracks by Haim and Dirty Projectors.

Thanks for listening.
