His spoken word soul is credited with laying the foundations for hip-hop, and now forty years later he's signed to XL and writing new material. We speak to hip-hop forefather Gil Scott-Heron to find out how it feels to be back making music and there are also contributions from his long-time associate, Chuck D from Public Enemy. Plus we talk obsessive fans with Placebo, Manic Street Preachers, and New York Dolls, and there's album news from Foals. The competition mentioned in this show is now closed.
