Music Weekly: Tricky and the Ragga Twins

Following our podcasting marathon at Glastonbury, normal service resumes this week for Guardian Music Weekly. First up, trip-hop pioneer Tricky talks to Paul MacInnes about living in LA and making music for his fans, all while rolling a gigantic spliff.

Following that, we cry "hail, hail, rock and roll", as Laura Barton is in the studio to give Paul and Rosie a wee hand with reviewing this week's singles. There's a 4x4 bass line (or is it just terrible house music?) from DJ Q, bubblegum pop in the shape of Annie's I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me, and heroin chic with Primal Scream and their new single Can't Go Back.

Finally, Paul kept his interviewing hat on just long enough to catch up with Flinty Badman and Deman Rocker, otherwise known as the Ragga Twins. The 90s rave MCs talk to our very own master of ceremonies about their journey from a sound system called Unity to the UK charts. Plus, we give a round up of our Glastonbury experiences now we've finally had time to recover.
