Huw has handpicked music old and new plus Dan Green looks at The Beatles' production techniques in this week's 6 Musicology.

Plus Pelle from The Hives and Adam Buxton choose our first 'Christmas Letter' of the year - our festive feature where guests pick a letter of the alphabet, and Huw responds by choosing a Christmas song beginning with that letter.

We'll also test your music knowledge in another edition of the Music Quiz Generator, where one of you might win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pin badge. And Huw declares that your evening has begun with the Home Run playlist at 5 o'clock.
