What's behind the pampas grass?

Rude Bob Dylan makes a welcome return, a listener gets attacked by his own phone, comedian Dave Gorman drops by for a chat, and Shaun tries to choose a song to cover for an advert.

Rude Bob Dylan made a welcome return and a listener got attacked by his own phone buttons on air.

We also tried to choose a song for Shaun to cover in a slow acoustic fashion, to pitch for an advert - thanks to listener suggestions.

And comedian Dave Gorman dropped by for a chat about his new programme 'Modern Life is Goodish'.

For Dave Gorman, modern life is still good...ish - it's the absurdities and contradictions of today's world that continue to fascinate and infuriate him. Dave once again turns his attention to the areas of everyday life we normally take for granted. In this series Dave concocts a convoluted method for getting rid of an unwanted gift, reimagines a classic game show and recruits his favourite celeb, 成人快手s Under The Hammer star MARTIN ROBERTS, for an experiment. He explores the perils of stock photography modelling, takes the long way round to irritate an old friend, explains in depth why he doesn't describe himself as "A Geek", and admits to regularly seeking life-guidance from hip-hop superstar KANYE WEST.

All this plus music from Supergrass, Lauryn Hill, Laura Nyro, The Waterboys, The Flaming Lips, John Grant and Staple Singers.
