I'm a fan of BBC 6Music's Roundtable, a Jukebox Jury type show where they get a guest panel of musicians and journalists listen to and review new singles. The greatness of the show depends on it's guests and today's show should be interesting: James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, Matt Bowman of hotly-tipped new band The Pigeon Detectives, and Jim Bob, who was half of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Plus host Steve Lemacq.
Roundtable airs here in the States at 1PM EST and you can't listen live, BBC 6 keeps it available for replay till the next episode airs. Here's what records will be discussed:
- Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm
- Bright Eyes - Four Winds
- Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches
- Rumble Strips - Alarm Clock
- Kings Of Leon - On Call
- Timbaland - Give It To Me
- Arcade Fire - tracks from Neon Bible
Nice. I wish they did podcasts of this. I used to love the podcast with Steve Lamacq and Nic Harcourt of KCRW where they turn each other onto a new band. About half of those KCRW podcasts have been broken for at least 6 months tho. :-(

Have you heard any of Jim Bob's post Carter albums? They're not half bad. He's quite prolific, School on Cherry Red is descent.
