We kick things off this week with Stornoway, the band from Oxford (not, in fact, the Outer Hebrides) who you can currently see playing a live track for us on our site. Alexis Petridis caught up with the band the night after a gig that left one member with a black eye – something that seems a world away from their lyrics about conkers and university.
Alexis is joined by Rosie Swash and Jude Rogers for Singles Club, in which the panel chew over Christina's Aguilera's Elastic Love, Kanye West's Power and Regis, and Function and Silent Servant's Sampler Single One.
Finally, we hear about the unusual sounds made by Merrill Garbus, aka Tune-Yards. The Californian musician speaks Swahili, plays the ukulele and used to be a puppeteer – three things the Music Weekly team can't do.
