Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today Mark and Stuart hear from Matt Berninger of American indie rock band The National.  Matt shares his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he's enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him.  He discusses his childhood memories of watching the musical Grease; his love of hip hop duo Run The Jewels and the influence of Willie Nelson's music.  

In conversation with Stuart, Matt also chats about the making of his forthcoming debut solo album 'Serpentine Prison.'  The album was recorded with and produced by legendary musician Booker T. Jones.  Matt's brother, Tom Berninger, the filmmaker behind the documentary Mistaken For Strangers, is currently making a feature length documentary about the recording of the album which is due to be released later this year. 

Also on the show... a whole host of quality radio items including 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend - plus another instalment of Sunday Glove Songs.

You can take part in The Chain, choosing a track for our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
