Every now and then, we like to put a country under the spotlight, a country we think is producing music everyone should know about.

This week, it's Canada. Inside the show we hear from chanteuses Feist (catch the full interview on Music Weekly Extra) and Emily Haines on just why Canada is producing more interesting music than we are (Michael Buble notwithstanding, of course), and we discuss lyrics and lasciviousness with future-funk duo Chromeo. We discuss a whole heap of other artists too, from Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Patrick Watson from the new crop, to Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen from the old.

Helping the regular Music Weekly team in this pod this week is Guardian Unlimited Music's chief sub and real-life Canuck, Kelly Nestruck.
