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

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and a playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. This morning, Alex continues to take health and safety measures to extremes in "Crazy Cautions", more daft suggestions for what Alex can buy for his sister's impending retirement in "Miffed for a Gift", and in "Minute, Bin It" we hear tales of complete wastes of time spent doing something that never worked. D'oh! More newcomers are pointed at in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and more Pause for Thought at 3.20 with YY Rubinstein.
There is another track from Album of the Week by Duran Duran, another play of Record of the Week by Rumer, Lester's Library tracks from Linda Lewis and Harry "The Hipster" Gibson, and one from John Kongos selected from the Listener's Library.
Nobody else, nowhere else.
