Mark presents solo, with guest James Mercer of US indie-rockers The Shins

Mark Radcliffe: bagsying the last musical sun lounger on the 6 Music rock and roll beach for you all afternoon.

Mark Radcliffe: bagsying that last musical sun lounger on the 6 Music rock and roll beach JUST FOR YOU. He's joined today by James Mercer of indie-rockers The Shins. Formed by James in 1996 in Albequerque, New Mexico in the US, but now based in the well known hipsterville of Portland, Oregon, he's described it as a 'pop project' and inspired by any and all music that they discovered. With their best-known tunes Phantom Limb, Australia and Simple Song, James is here to talk about their latest fifth album, Heartworms.

There's also the trusty show staple The Chain - where you, the actual listener, get the chance to link one track to the one before AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T REPEAT - and Teatime Themetime, where you could gain instant VIP backstage passes to the office biscuit tin by being first to guess what connects all three records. PLUS there's Music News, with all the latest updates on what's happening in the music world. And all the new releases that float his handmade paper boats!
