Plenty of midsummer melancholy this week – the long hot days have gone to our heads.
You can hear this in our reviews of tracks by Lana Del Rey, Butcher Boy and Jonathan Wilson, which all have a hint of summer sadness. Our panel – Alexis Petridis, Pete Paphides and Caroline Sullivan – wonder if they've been affected by recent weather.
Next, we sent Jon Dennis to interview Ernest Greene of Washed Out. He tells Jon why 80s sounds have been a real inspiration to him. The panel also try and come up with other musicians called Ernest – can you think of any?
And finally, as guardian.co.uk/music launches a web tool that lets you to review almost ANY album EVER, our critics share tips on writing reviews and discuss which album they wished they'd had the chance to cover. Tell us which album you'd like to review in the comments below.
Also, we're doing some research on how we can make our podcasts even better, and would like to ask listeners a few questions. If you'd like to be involved email musicweekly@guardian.co.uk and we'll be in touch.
