Music Weekly podcast: the musical dynasty of Lal Waterson

Joining us this week is Dorian Lynskey, and in the pod's thoughts are the shape-shifting Kanye West, what bodily fluids a Metallica Glastonbury set might involve and Snoop Dogg's hot pockets.

Lal and Mike Waterson's 1971 album Bright Phoebus was famously a commercial disaster, but it has had a curious afterlife as one the greatest and strangest folk records. This year Lal's daughter Maria decided to celebrate her mother's music with a tour, a new album of unreleased demos and the publication of a book. She came in to talk to Alexis.

In Singles Club, we've got tracks from Mike Skinner, James Blake featuring Chane the Rapper and Matthew E White.
