The Hives' incomparable Howlin' Pelle joins on today's episode, on being naughty by nature, pushing through the 10 years The Hives had between albums, stints as a mailman (gave him a tight buttock) and sign writer, the affect Alan McGee had on the band and being treated awfully when they first came to the UK.

The Hives' new album The Death of Randy Fitzsimmonds is out 11 August
