Tonight's show features an hour-long interview with Ira and Georgia from lo-fi indie legends Yo La Tengo. The band discuss their history, give tips on surviving a British tour (including using hand dryers in public loos to sort out those sodden shoes) as well as playing an eclectic selection of their favourite records and tracks from their new album 'Popular Songs'. Plus... archive concert tracks from Bob Marley live in 1973 and That Petrol Emotion's 1990 concert at the Guildford Civic. Session artists include Bow Wow Wow offering some Burundi Beat in session for John Peel in 1980, The Weather Prophets, also in for Peel from 1986 and David Cornenberg's Wife's October session for Cerys.
