What happened and what's next in BBC Music
This week

Hot Chip at Maida Vale studios
Later... with Jools Holland has kicked off its new series. As you know. What you may not know is that every performance is available for a full month after it's broadcast, but not through iPlayer - as clips, conveniently bundled up in our Later... collection.
6 Music had a ridiculous line-up of live acts this week at Maida Vale, with Jake Bugg, Primal Scream, Bat for Lashes, Hot Chip, Cody ChestnuTT, Kindness and Portico Quartet all using the legendary studio to lay down live tracks.
Our reviews editor Mike Diver runs down his favourite albums of Septemberwith links to videos and reviews by the likes of Mala, Terror Danjah, The Pet Shop Boys, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and more.
Finally, you can get ready for the weekend by listening to two pretty wild mixes from Monterrey, Mexico. 19-year-old Erick Rincon and the more veteran Toy Selectah provided the guest mixes for Diplo's wide-ranging Diplo and Friends show on 1Xtra, showcasing a particular hybrid of tribal guarachero and what's come to be called "EDM".
Coming Up

The Magical Mystery Tour Revisited airs tomorrow, 6 Oct at 9:45pm BST, as Part 1 of an Arena double-bill looking back at the shambolic 1967 Beatles film. Often called "misunderstood", one could argue that it was understood all too clearly by the third of the nation who watched it. But watch this doc and then watch the restored movie itself directly afterwards, and judge for yourself.
Staying with the moptops, Stuart Maconie presents Love Me Do: The Beatles '62on Sunday 7 Oct at 10pm BST. It goes all the way back to the Beatles' very first single, what kind of pond that particular pebble got tossed into, and what sort of ripples it produced.
Tonight, 5 Oct at 8:00pm BST, BBC Two is showing Troubadors - Peaceful Easy Feeling as part of its Sounds of the 70s series. This episode takes a look at the California longhairs whose early-70s gentle folk-rock would, for many, come to epitomize that place and time.
Out next week
We've got reviews of brand-new albums by Boys Noize, Daphni, Jeff Lynne, Mika, PAWS, Tame Impala and Yasmin Levy.
