Why the pic of Dita von Teese, you may ask? It's music this week, with Chris Hawkins of 6 music, and one of his picks is the US model/muse/woman-of-all-trade's first foray into lead vocals with electro-popsters Monarchy. Ooh look, a free download of the track Disintegration is here. Also, ahead of the MPG music awards for music producers, we're celebrating their work - your suggestions for the greatest producer of all time please - text 85058 or email [email protected]

Also on the show, none of us can quite believe we've been talking about technology for more than two years, and haven't talked about Moonbases built using our old favourite, 3D printing. We shall rectify that omission with Dan Maudsley, and also have an interactive experiment to demonstrate the future of the internet (You'll need the camera on a smartphone and a TV remote control. and no, it's nothing to do with sexting)

Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann are here, to talk about how an angry member of staff at HMV vented her spleen using the company's twitter account, and how Ticketmaster is dumping that online Captcha test that makes sure you're human. And we've got books, with Helen Brown from the Daily Telegraph, talking about how Stephen King has written an essay about gun control, and his little-known novel about a school massacre. Also her book choice of the week is London Bridge in America by cultural historian Travis Elborough - and there's even a complimentary soundtrack to the book you can find for free here.
