Music Weekly brings you something old, something new. The show begins with Kyp Malone, guitarist, songwriter and singer in New York's finest avant-pop act, TV On the Radio. Malone is currently masquerading as Rain Machine, the stage name under which he's released his debut solo album. He talks to Rosie Swash about racism, trying to embrace joy and why Lady Gaga is political.
Singles Club is a cornucopia of sounds this week, beginning with Tim Jonze's choice of Vampire Weekend's Cousins, Rosie's tip We Want War by These New Puritans, and Paul MacInnes's pick, Clipse's All Eyes On Me.
Next up, Tim meets Jason Pierce, the man behind his favourite album of all time, Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space. Pierce explains why he's taking a trip back in time to re-examine an album that takes its influences from drugs, religion and love. He also chats about the importance of myth-making in rock'n'roll.
