It's that time of the year again - it's the Wedding Present's annual visit to the Riley studio. Plus it's Marc and Rob's weekly visit to the Parallel Universe.

Indie rock legends and John Peel favourites the Wedding Present (or the Weddos as we know them) have become welcome repeat visitors to 6 Music's Salford outpost. Formed back in 1985 they've just released their 9th album Going Going, which tells the story of a road trip across the USA, revealed across a collection of twenty 'linked' songs, each with an accompanying short film

They'll be booking the next session on the way out.
