Let Alex guide you through the small hours with his blend of unique humour and fantastic music. Record & Album of the Week included, plus Lester's & Listener's Library tracks too.

Spend the night with the Dark Lord, who will be keeping you laughing with his witty conversation interspersed with a great mix of music. This morning, we are celebrating disastrous decor and freaky furnishings in the thread, Ornamental Awfulness. Tales of being caught out in, "I Would Have Got Away with It if It Wasn't For...", plus Day 3 of National Bargain Week, Pause for Thought with Chick Yuill at 3.20am and the 4.15 One-Off Canteen is back in business.
On the music front, there are new Lester's Library tracks this morning from both Jeff Beck and Steve Lukather, formerly of Toto. The Listener's Library track comes from country queen, Reba McEntire. You can hear Record of the Week from Fran Healy, plus another track from Album of the Week by Phil Collins. Let the buffoonery begin!
