It's Feelgood Friday with Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show, the best way to start the weekend with brilliant music and hilarious chat. Including Album and Record of the Week.

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. This morning, as well as tales of why you're feeling good, Alex discusses watching football in 3D in the pub and fills up the Nost-Drat-And-Darn-Us calendar with more of your suggestions of the year's predictions in pictorial form. It's all about the bright side on the dark side of the day. There is a final chance for the week to warm your cockles in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. From Lester's Library there is an underplayed classic from Bob Dylan and a new tune from The Blow Monkeys. The Listener's Library track is a tearjerker from Hazel O' Connor courtesy of Dave Knox. There is one more track from Album of the Week by Queen, plus Record of the Week by Sugarland. Buffoons are go!
