Winding up your week with the Dark Lord's final musical instalments from Lester's Library and the Listener's Library, Record & Album of the Week and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.

The week's final instalment of random daftness and planned oddities from the Dark Lord. National Shed Week draws to a close and we are busy preparing for next week, we just need something to celebrate; the suggestions come rolling in. Alex continues hatching his plot to throw himself into the flames of controversy as a Mock Shock Jock, there are more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and it's a Feelgood Friday too.
Lester's Library tracks this morning are a track from Slash's current album with Kid Rock, and a song from the latest Sarah McLachlan CD. There is a Jam B-side from Listener's Library, Record of the Week from The Hoosiers, one final track from Album of the Week by Kylie Minogue and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
