BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 23/04/2010

The week's final blast of top music and inspired silliness, the best to start the weekend.

Winding up your week with the Dark Lord's final musical instalments from Lester's Library and the Listener's Library, plus Pause for Thought at 3.20.

The week's final instalment of random daftness and planned oddities from the Dark Lord. Alex continues his transformation into a drag queen with new name suggestions including Dusty Diva and Tracey Trollop. With his American Adventure less than a week away in danger of being "ashed" off, Alex is asking for your help on American Adventure 3: Plan B. Suggestions have included recreating America in his living room and performing as a stripper for truckers across the UK. And it's both Feelgood Friday and St. George's Day, so today's News Hank is anybody called George (other patron saints are available). Any George will do.

From Lester's Library there are tracks from Stevie Ray Vaughan and a new track from Kim Richey, while your suggestion from Listener's Library is a classic from Lynyrd Skynyrd. There is a final track from Album of the Week by The Avett Brothers, Record of the Week from Renee Fleming, and more Pause for Thought also.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
