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

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, Alex is still looking at the positives of being a slug in "Spinning the Slug"; plus tales of eating things that weren't edible, and ideas for free gifts that you should get "just for enquiring" in the new thread, "Good Grief Gifts". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am and more dishes of disgust on offer in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from British Sea Power and some vintage Joe Cocker, while your choice from Listener's Library is a track from The Levellers. There is also another track from Album of the Week by Sugarland, and Record of the Week by Wonderland. Nobody else, nowhere else.
