BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 09/02/2010

Alex introduces Adrian, made completely of water, and plays some excellent tunes also.

More offbeat comedy involving Pal Waaktaar's Rival Bazaar and our new character, Adrian the First H20-masapian. Suprising choices from Lester's Library and more Album of the Week.

Things just got more weird in Buffoon Town. Just as Morten Harket's Gap in the Market sells the last of Anna Friel's Jellied Eels and shuts shop, "the blonde one" from A-ha wants a slice of the pie and opens Pal Waaktaar's Rival Bazaar, specialising in unique products endorsed only by musicians. Blur's furs and The Kink's sinks are here. Plus, Alex introduces Adrian the First H20-masapian, made entirely of water. He may disappear in the rain and doesn't know when to stop peeing, but he is his own hot-water bottle and, should he need a tan, he just adds instant coffee to himself. Confused? Vintage Cliff Richard and Allison Moorer selections from Lester's Library, and Francois Hardy in the Listener's Library. Another Album of the Week track from Owl City and Record of the Week from Johnny Cash also.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
