The best way to start the week with brilliant music and hilarious chat on The Best Time of the Day Show. There's a new Record and Album of the Week, plus more Library selections.

Start another week with Alex who will entertain you in the small hours with his eclectic playlist and unique brand of conversation. This morning, we are playing 'Rewind a Mind'. Create havoc, speak your mind, get revenge, pull that annoying hair from your boss' nostril, then rewind all minds so that nobody remembers it except for you. Childish, yes, but did you expect anything else on this show? This week, we are celebrating our smalls, giving thumbs up to thongs, saying 'why not' to Y-fronts and bravo to briefs, it is National Underwear Week. There is another batch of buffoons inducted into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
The new Record of the Week comes from The Killers' frontman, Brandon Flowers, and there is a track from the new Album of the Week from Brian Kennedy. Lester's Library this morning brings you the latest track from The Eels and a vintage tune from ZZ Top. The Listener's Library track is an album track from Guns n' Roses.
Nobody else, nowhere else.
