Sleeve Notes: Hot chat with Hot Chip

You may have noticed that, as of last week, our podcast has had a bit of a makeover. Alexis Petridis is in the presenter's chair, and we've got more live sessions and new features in the pipeline.

Men at Work may need to organise an overdraft or two Last year, Australian one-hit-wonders Men at Work were taken to court over the origins of the flute riff in their song Down Under. This week, a judge ruled that the band had indeed nicked it from the campfire song Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree . Surely this opens the door for Marmite to argue copyright infringement and every Australian male to claim slander for the line "the beer does flow and men chunder"?
