Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to keep you entertained through the night. More from Album & Record of the Week, songs from Lester's & Listener's Libraries also.

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. There are a new bunch of threads to attack your senses today. First up, we are discussing the benefits of a house completely made out of food in "Eat My House"; well, it worked for Hansel and Gretel! Next, we are owning up to those things that are blindingly obvious but somehow escaped us, in "Dawn of the Head". And we are filing complaints for those things you can't take back in "Receipt for Deceit". All of this plus Pause for Thought at 3.20 and another chance to eat some decaying crud in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there is an epic rock track from Queensryche plus some Ray Charles. From Listener's Library this morning, you have selected a song from John Denver. You can also hear Record of the Week by Diane Birch again, plus another track from Album of the Week from Duffy. Nobody else, nowhere else.
