Paul MacInnes 

Music Weekly: We Are Scientists and Yeasayer

We Are Scientists talk to Paul MacInnes about how they write their 80s influenced pop tunes - though they do a good job of answering little else Paul asks them. Rosie Swash speaks to Yeasayer who discuss the Brooklyn "scene", their live shows and more.
  
  


Perhaps the most ironic people in the world, and certainly the most ironic skinny practitioners of intelligent indie-pop, We Are Scientists are our guests this week.

Chris Cain and Keith Murray talk to Paul MacInnes about their newfound passion for the eighties, their love (or is it disdain) for hipsters and why they're more popular in the UK than their native America.

Rosie Swash is still on holiday, so goodness knows how she managed to interview psychedelic Brooklynites Yeasayer. Perhaps she recorded it or something. Anyway, she talks to the band about their fusion of a multitude of styles and their chaotic live performances.

In the pod, Paul is joined by Film and Music's top team of Laura Barton and Michael Hann to review new music from Crystal Castles, the Kooks and Tapes'n'Tapes. None of it going down particularly well, it has to be said.

Finally, an apology for our exceptional tardiness this week. We'll certainly endeavour never to allow it to happen again
