More laughs and brilliant music on The Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. More from Album and Record of the Week, Pause for Thought and Lester's and Listener's Library tracks.

Spend the night with Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show for hilarious conversation and fantastic music. This morning there are more conversations with carrots, sympathy for spinach and talking to turnips in the thread, Interview with the Vegetable. We are taking our work tools home in the topic, Tools for Life; there are more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Alex is planning the biggest party of the night; just bring whatever is in your truck. 8,000 bikinis and 35 pallets of ice-cream have been donated so far.
From Alex's personal CD collection, Lester's Library, there is a new track from Juliette Lewis, and the first new track from Wishbone Ash in 20 years. From the Listener's Library, there is a track from Feeder. More from Album of the Week by Oasis, Record of the Week by I Am Kloot and Pause for Thought at 3.20 with Steve Littledale. Tune in; it might not make sense but it will make you laugh.
