Music Weekly: Robert Wyatt and Emmy the Great

It's another edition of two-time best podcast of the year international champion Music Weekly! And what a lot we have in store for you ...

Robert Wyatt – patron of prog, leftie of Lincolnshire, and all-round avant-garde hero – invites Rosie Swash into his beautiful home to talk about his life in music, his denial of all vices and how he remains an unclassifiable musician. It's a good interview and, if you want, here's the whole unexpurgated version too.

Emmy the Great – the not-shy-of-adopting-grandiose-monikers anti-folker pops into the pod too. There, Paul MacInnes awaits and they talk about Emmy's forthcoming debut album, her time spent with Lightspeed Champion and the general rubbishness of boys. She was also kind enough to record AN EXCLUSIVE acoustic track which you can catch at the end of the show.

Luke Bainbridge – not a pop star, but a damn fine journalist and citizen of the people's republic of Mancunia, joins Paul and Rosie for Singles Club where Clipse (featuring Joss Stone) and Glasvegas are put under the microscope. For some reason, Rosie chose old music from Beach House this week; we talk about it all the same.

Talk Talk are the subject of this week's Feature That's Proud to Have No Name, which is narrated by none other that Observer Music Monthly's Gareth Grundy

Plus all your faceback too.

But this show ain't nothin' without you, the listener/random poster, so please add your comments below.
