Music Weekly with the Streets and Mercury Rev

On this week's Guardian Music Weekly, Tim Jonze confuses Mike Skinner by asking him questions comprised solely of his own lyrics.

Plus, ahead of their seventh album, Snowflake Midnight, a zen-like Mercury Rev reflect on the positive things life can throw up out of nowhere, such as, er, new dry cleaners.

Our pod guest this week is the esteemed listener of Music Weekly, and leaver-of-excellent-comments, Marckee, who is talking up the little-known folk collective Rivulets in Singles Club. Paul and Rosie also look at Malian duo Amadou and Mariam, and Yo Majesty's expletive-ridden Club Action. All that, and Dorian Lynskey reminisces over late-70s post-punkers Magazine. Enjoy, and let us know what you think of the show in the comments below.
