The Anorak's cope with a week without Tom Bonnett by replacing him with the very lovely indie pop star and ShadowPlay agony aunt Piney Gir.

She also picks some great new music, plays along in our usual brainteaser Real Fake and enjoys our look back at The Clash legend Joe Stummer in Dead Good. Great music elsewhere comes from Nouvelle Vague, Keith & Ken and Of Montreal.
