This week, the fabulous Tori Amos has a chat with Music Weekly's Alex Macpherson. The two of them discuss the influence of mythology on her lyrics, the challenge of blending songs into a classical music structure ... and why her album is not so much a chalet but a sonic cathedral.

There's also new music reviewed by Alexis, Alex and Dorian Lynskey: St Vincent's Cheerleader, Pistol Annie's Hell On Wheels and Friends' My Boo are under scrutiny.

Plus Dorian discusses his love for REM following the announcement of their split, and picks out three gems from their archive (while Alex picks out something that's not such a classic...)
