"Unlikely Animal Friendships"

Simon and Ben are a little preoccupied with a disturbing - ALLEGED - news story from their home country this week, and spend far too much of the episode making ham-fisted jokes about it.

In between their sloppy attempts at meaty political commentary, there's plenty of new music as usual, from the likes of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Big Grams, Blackalicious, Mac Miller, Zero 7, YACHT and Operators.

Hopefully next week's epsiode will be rather more tasteful. (...yeah, right, and pigs might fly).
