On this week's podcast Alexis Petridis talks with the editors of White Riot, a new book that covers punk rock and the politics of race (see below for their playlist).
Continuing the theme, Louis Pattison talks to Pink Eyes from Fucked Up about his love of early Skrewdriver (early – before they became neo-Nazis) and about the thin line between credible and mainstream success.
And in Singles Club: Hot Chip's Joe Goddard, King Creosote and Skylar Gray. But what begins as a genial discussion on the great songs of today turns into a debate about how awful the top 40 has become. Are there any good records gracing the charts? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
