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. Includes 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, Alex is still looking for ways in which he can disguise his paunch in the wedding photos in "Where to Put the Gut", and more hideous ideas for what he can buy his sister for her impending early retirement, as he is still "Miffed for a Gift". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am with YY Rubinstein and the final chance of the week to parade your pottiness in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.

There will be one more track from Album of the Week from Duran Duran, Record of the Week by Rumer, Lester's Library tracks by Eliza Carthy and some classic Albert King, one from the Listener's Library from Sly and Robbie and more. Expect the unexpected, and you are still in for a surprise.
