BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 16/02/2011

The show for night owls and those who just enjoy laughing and hearing fantastic music.

The Half-Time Hooter's here on the Best Time of the Day Show, which means even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. Plus Album and Record of the Week.

It's Wednesday which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. This morning, there are more sensational swaps thanks to the Magical Converter Machine; tales of giving up a hobby at the first hurdle in "Learner on the Backburner"; ideas for mobile phone applications - the ones that you really need - in "App Gap"; more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Pause for Thought at 3.20 with Andrew Graystone.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Nick Cave's side-project, Grinderman, and one from Tito Puente. Your selection from the Listener's Library comes from Johnny Cash. There is another track from Album of the Week by Sara Barreilles, and another chance to hear Record of the Week by Asa.
Nobody else, nowhere else.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
