BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 23/02/2011

Witty chat, great music and more on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex.

Alex, AKA the Dark Lord, brings more laughs and music through the small hours on the Best Time of the Day Show. Includes tracks from Lester's and Listener's Libraries and more.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter on the Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. Oddball conversations this morning include: tales of when you have had to ignore the blatantly obvious so as not to offend, in "Pretend, Don't Offend"; meeting ourselves at half our current age and sharing some pearls of wisdom in "Half the Path"; and ridiculous routines that work in "System Addict". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am, and another chance to get into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there is a classic trucker track from Hal Ketchum, and a new track from Poly Styrene, formerly X-Ray Spex. From the Listener's Library there is some doo-wop from The Casinos. There is more from Album of the Week by Clare Maguire, and Record of the Week by Emin.
Buffoons are go!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
