A mixed bag for you in this week's programme. Ben Beaumont-Thomas speaks to singer-songwriter Kurt Vile about his recent album Smoke Ring for My Halo, the recurrent themes in his music and where his name comes from.
Brian Shimkovitz of the Awesome Tapes of Africa blog explains what led him to start collecting cassette tapes from the continent and then publish them on a blog. It's resulted in Brian setting up a label to release of some of the music from his site, and he discusses some of his favourites from the collection.
And as always there are reviews of new tracks - Alexis Petridis is joined by Ben and Caspar Llewellyn Smith to listen to Ewan Pearson's re-edit of the Visionquest remix of Tracey Thorn's Swimming, In the Country's cover of Brothers in Arms and some very NSFW sounds by Azealia Banks: 212.
