Music Weekly podcast: Tame Impala blow your mind and Jack de Johnette bangs the drum

Alexis and Kieran are joined this week by Charlotte Richardson Andrews – and no time is wasted before a heated debate around Rihanna's latest release. There's also a touch of the French Elvis, Johnny Hallyday, who is Alexis's new favourite thing.

Richard Williams talks to a towering figure appearing at the London Jazz Festival: none other than Jack DeJohnette, who has been the percussionist of choice for, among others, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Herbie Hancock.

Three new tracks – one, we should say, whose video features a turd in crisis – are given a grilling in singles club. The bands are the Lovely Eggs, Pocz & Pacheko and Ty Segall.

Plus: we hear from Tame Impala, Australian manufacturers of psychedelic hypno-groove … as well as gathering your thoughts on the Tracey Thorn podcast last week.

Thanks for listening. Leave your thoughts below the line.
