Music Weekly podcast: Beastie Boys special

This week's show sees Alexis Petridis getting "bad on yo ass" as he's joined by Rosie Swash and hip hop aficionado Angus Batey to discuss the Beastie Boys.

Twenty-five years on from their classic breakthrough Licensed to Ill, the rap brats (as they used to be) are back with new album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 – so can they still kick it? Plus the team reflect further on the golden age of hip hop, spinning the Ultramagnetic MCs and more, and with Alexis reflecting on his old haircuts.

Finally, there's new music from Tom Vek, Gang Gang Dance and Cosmo Jarvis, and pithy criticism thereof. Leave your reviews and comments below.
