Hello everyone. Well, last week's guests caused a bit of a stir on the blog, didn't they? Accusations were hurled, threats were made... OK, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but people did get rather worked up over the worth of power-indie quartet British Sea Power.
This week, we have These New Puritans on the show, a band we hope will have you frothing at the mouth, but only out of a sense of enjoyment. Somewhere between post-punk, dancehall and trance sits the music of this four-piece, and they spoke to us about whether there really was a Southend Underground, what it's like to write music for a fashion house and what Michael Barrymore was doing at a zoo.
Dongle wise, we sample what's on offer from Britpop rogues Supergrass, American singer-songwriter Cass McCombs and someone called Adele, who you may or may not have heard a bit about.
Rosie Swash is back from the Sahara, still emptying sand out of her pockets and with a new-found love for Tuareg group Tamikrest. She talks us though the experience of the Festival au Desert and we hear some of the weekend's musical highlights.
