BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 14/01/2011

It's Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show, more great music and hilarious chat

The weekend starts here with Alex who provides laughs and music on the Best Time of the Day Show. More from Record and Album of the Week, plus Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

It's the best way to start your weekend by tuning into the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Every Friday is a Feelgood Friday which means even more great tunes and inspired daftness to keep you happy through the night. This morning, Alex asks if you've had to explain something old to someone young in "Maybe It's Because I'm a Dinosaur", there's Fred Slippage with "What Do You Call the Remote Control?" and he's wondering "What's Your Native American Name?" - it's all about the bright side on the dark side of the day. There's a final chance for the week to warm your cockles in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. From Lester's Library there's a freaky tune from Was (Not Was) and something forgotten from former Free guitarist Paul Kossoff. The Listener's Library track is a classic from Yello as suggested by Perla from Argentina. There is one more track from the Album of the Week by Lindisfarne, plus the last play for the Record of the Week from Bryan Ferry. Let the battery-charged buffoonery begin!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
