Alexis and Kieran are joined this week by the Guardian's Michael Hann for a show that includes artist Jeremy Deller, singles club and Labrinth.
In the world of diamond encrusted skulls and unmade beds that is contemporary art, few people are as influenced by pop music as Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller – the artist who managed to combine acid house and brass bands. He talks to Alexis about the music he loves.
In singles club, where we run the rule over three new releases, we have tracks from Dexys Midnight Runners, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir and Mac Miller – whose 45 seconds of a woman panting has caused much debate.
Timothy McKenzie, otherwise known as songwriter and producer Labrinth, loved the idea of grime, but found it musically ignorant. So he started experimenting with a new blend that included church music and the sounds of his Nintendo. When Tinie Tempah came knocking on his studio door, everything clicked into place, he tells Kieran.
Thanks for listening, and also for your feedback on last week's show; please keep the comments coming. There is no Music Weekly podcast next week, but we'll return in a fortnight.
