Live session from The National

The National join Steve live from the 麻豆社's Maida Vale studio for a live session and chat about their forthcoming album Trouble Will Find Me.

Steve returns from a week long break with another lost 45 from deep within his record collection, and Nico, our kid critic, is back with another video review. Plus, a Good Day Bad Day caller is on the line to pick two records.

Add to this a very special Monday live session from The National. The band join Steve live from the 麻豆社's legendary Maida Vale studio for a live session and chat about their forthcoming album 'Trouble Will Find Me'.

The album is the follow up to their stunning 2010 album 'High Violet' and comes off the back of the band's single 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' being voted number in 4 in 6 Music's 100 Greatest Hits.
