It's Feelgood Friday on The Best Time of the Day Show. Expect even more silliness and top music including Lester's and Listener's Library tracks plus Record and Album of the Week.

The week's final instalment of random daftness and planned oddities from the Dark Lord. On the show this morning, our new superhero, Butterman, is still in search of a catchphrase and a theme tune. We are still exploring that missed opportunity that is sleeping; suggestions include a sponsored sleep walk, offering yourself as a draft excluder and - if you are a heavy breather in your sleep - you can be a balloon-blower-upper. There are more tales of failure in the final day of National Failed Attempt Week, the final batch of newcomers into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Pause for Thought with Jasjit Singh. As if that wasn't enough, it is also a Feelgood Friday.

From Lester's Library there is a new track from Esteban, and a track from former Uriah Heap frontman, Dave Byron and his band. Plus, perfect for starting the weekend there is a Listener's Library track from AC/DC, the final track from Album of the Week by The Drizabone Soul Family, and Record of the Week by Lady Antebellum.

Submit your own choices by going to Alex's pages at www.bbc.co.uk/radio2. There is more from Record and Album of the Week and another Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
