In this week's Music Weekly - presented by Paul MacInnes...
Jason Pierce from Spiritualized is this week's guest. Rosie Swash discusses Pierce's near death experience with pneumonia three years ago - and it's effect on the new album Songs In A&E. Despite Rosie expecting an album that was centred around death, she finds it to be an uplifting record and discusses Marcel Marceau and spirituality with the frontman.
Paul chats to Johnny Flynn - the 24 year old who was a Shakespearean actor but has moved to write folk tunes. He tells Music Weekly how he smoked ferrets as country boy, and how telling stories in his songs is helped with the use of a bit of humour.
Sandwiched between these two is Singles Club - Paul and Rosie are joined by Football Weekly's Barry Glendenning for a run through this week's singles for a reason which is explained within the programme. Barry does a good job of listening across tracks from Black Mountain, Lykke Li and the Wu Tang Clan - although his comparison of the New York based rap group to Feng Shui falls down a little bit under closer examination. Have a listen and tell us what you think...
