With Paul MacInnes off hunting snails in the French countryside, Rosie Swash ditches the bad puns and the excruciating one-liners - well, most of them - and takes us on a podcasting journey that mixes dance, disco, pop and punk.
Our very special guest this week is James Murphy. Some say Mr LCD Soundsystem/DFA Records is, like, the coolest man in music right now, producing danceable and literate tunes that combine all the very best bits of the past three decades. In the show, the occasional Guardian blogger discusses his newfound success, his unironic admiration of all things Fleetwood Mac (and Phil Collins), and why he loves New York, but it's bringing him down. If you want to hear him talk about his fondness for three-letter acronyms, turning down a job on Seinfeld, and whether he prefers cats to dogs, have a listen to our exclusive, half-hour interview - yours to keep as our Music Extra offering to you. we're nice like that.
Joining Rosie in the pod is, of course, producer Ben and music man at large, Tim Jonze, who tells us why everyone - from the Arctic Monkeys to Jay-Z - is having a go at covering Amy Winehouse's music. Also up for debate are the new dongles from Air, MIA and Broken Family Band, the end of Paris Hilton's recording career, and the White Stripes getting down with the pensioners.
Next time you'll hear from us, we'll be live(ish) from Glastonbury, bringing you the very best coverage of the world's greatest music festival. And probably getting soaked.
