Music Weekly: Q-Tip + Richard Hawley

On this week's show!

Q-Tip, the rapper, the legend, the bloke who might just be making his breakfast throughout the interview! The head honcho of A Tribe Called Quest talks to Paul MacInnes about the state of hip-hop and his long-lost 2002 classic Kamaal the Abstract, which has finally seen the light of day this month.

Our second guest is Ramona Gonzalez, aka Nite Jewel, whose woozy electropop is increasingly en vogue (see Singles Club below). She talks to Rosie Swash about her musical upbringing, her love of talent searches and writing a mindbending thesis.

In the studio, Paul is joined by Tim Jonze and Rebecca Nicholson to discuss new songs from Washed Out, teenagersintokyo and Editors. There's a lot of woozy and a lot of synthesizers, tune in to see what the team make of it.

Last, but by ABSOLUTELY NO MEANS least, Richard Hawley does the Feature With No Name. That's right, Richard Hawley, Mr Cole's Corner and now True Love's Gutter, the man who was robbed by the Arctic Monkeys (at the 2006 Mercury awards, that is). He tells us of his love of 60s singer-songwrtier Bob Lind.

That's some line-up, we hope you'll agree, so please feel free to add your comments below or on our Facebook page
