Music Weekly podcast: Beardyman shows us his sonic screwdriver – plus Kanye West on the edge of reason

Dorian Lynskey joins us this week, and he's got the new Kanye West single for analysis in Singles club. Also under the hammer are tracks by These New Puritans and Mayer Hawthorne.

Beardyman is very busy in this week's show, and he gives us a guided tour of the Beardytron 500, his robotic alter ego, which means he can create full tracks on the fly with just his voice. It has to be heard to be believed. He has recorded a track especially for us, and even had a go at some Pink Floyd … Eat that, Daft Punk!

Pete Paphides is among us once more, rustling through his comprehensive back-catalogue of pop papers. This week, he returns to the early 80s, and learns a little too much about Toyah in his Parallel History of Pop.

Thanks for listening.
