Winding up your week with the Dark Lord's latest musical instalments from Lester's Library, the final track from the Album of the Week, and another spin for our Record of the Week.

It's Feelgood Friday with Alex which means even more daftness. The Board of Boredom are still constructing the world's most tedious theme park, Boloxnia's Wild World of Dull; attractions will include the Hall of Mirror and the Misery Go-Round, next to the Candy Dross stall. The Lester Limelight shines brightly this morning on the News Hank subject, Bono. Headlines include, "Bono Receives Postcard from The Edge".
Over to Lester's Library, there is a track from the new Kids in Glass Houses album and a classic from Ricky Nelson, while from the Listener's Library there is a track from Whitesnake. More from Album of the Week by Scouting for Girls and Record of the Week by Train, plus Pause for Thought with Andrew Martlew. Nobody else, nowhere else.
