This week's guest, Micah P Hinson. We've trawled the depths of Texas and the heights of Sheffield to bring you two guesties for this week's show. First up on Music Weekly is Southern man Micah P Hinson. He has earned notoriety over his wild past and religious upbringing, but on the eve of the release of his new album, The Red Empire Orchestra, the singer-songwriter reveals to Rosie Swash the truth behind his rebellious years.
Over to the north of England and Paul MacInnes has been talking to Jon McClure of Reverend and the Makers. McClure, or the Rev to friends, discusses the impending festival season, Iraqi rap and his new supergroup, Mongrel, with ex-Arctic Monkeys bassist Andy Nicholson.
Tim Jonze makes his debut in the pod as Guardian/Music's new editor. However, he's an old hand when it comes to reviewing singles. Have Gnarls Barkley lost their touch? Do the Aussie electronic act Presets lack drama? And are Foals lovably pretentious or just up their own arses?
Discuss, but listen here first.
