Music Weekly podcast: Pete Paphides' Parallel History of Pop and Ed Sheeran's sexy new direction

Lanre Bakare joins the regulars this week, and there is talk of a mystery Michael Jackson track and a Tupac musical in the news.

In Singles Club we have tracks from the Roots, Ed Sheeran and Boots.

David Bowie is singing about gnomes, Sandy Shaw is winning the Eurovision Song Contest for Great Britain, and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heats Club Band is just around the corner. It must be 1967, and it must be Pete Paphides, with another Parallel History of Pop.
