Having hurtled past their dubiously-counted 50th show, Ben and Simon carry right on with more new music from the likes of Geographer, Dodos, Idlewild, Modest Mouse, Drenge, Marika Hackman, Colleen Green, Cairobi and Doomtree. Plus one twenty-year-old song from Juliana Hatfield, just because.
Oh, and Mikal Cronin. There's a new Mikal Cronin song from the forthcoming new Mikal Cronin album, so of course Simon plays that.
On the way there's an abundance of facts gleaned from Wikipedia, talk of sculpture, vikings, the unfunniness of Letterman's Top 10 lists, and a not-to-be-repeated segment in which Simon and Ben attempt to tell stories based on the names of the songs they're playing.
