Guardian music writer Paul Lester is on the verge of his 1,000th new band profile. That's a lot of new bands. He joins Alexis Petridis and Tim Jonze to run through the highs and lows of a weekly series that's been running since 1793.
The big interview this week is Yuck ? a bunch of lo-fi pop scenesters whose music buzzes with the youthful glow of early Teenage Fanclub and Dinosaur Jr. So are they doing something new or just recycling old ideas? Tim Jonze finds out.
We do, of course, review this week's singles as well. And a good bunch they are too ? future-thinking R&B from Frank Ocean, ghostly soul from Holy Other and the sound of Rebecca Black slowed down and stretched over 20 minutes (not poetic licence ? this is how the track was made).
As ever, follow us on Twitter and like our page on Facebook. See you next week.
