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. Plus Album and Record of the Week.

Let Alex kickstart your weekend with Feel Good Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show. This morning, Alex asks: what musical-related present should he buy his Aunt for her 80th birthday? How could he wisely/unwisely spend his 拢2.03 (don't forget the 3 pence) tax rebate in "Taxi-Earn-Me" and what's a no-no and what's a go-go in "Email Etiquette"? There's 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's the new one from Katy Lied and something old from Leonard Cohen. The Listener's Library track is something fun from Lieutenant Pigeon suggested by Wayne Bojczuk from Bradford. There is one more track from the Album of the Week by Eva Cassidy, plus the last play for the Record of the Week from Marli Harwood. Expect the unexpected with Alex, and you will still be in for a surprise.
