Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to keep you entertained through the night. With 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 playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. It is Day 2 of National Spillage Week: re-live the horror of those spillages that have ruined many an outfit and evening. More pasts coming back to haunt - and amuse - us, in "Reunion Rules", and we are giving ourselves grand and lengthy titles in "Title Time". Plus, Pause for Thought at 3.20 and ask those questions you were always too embarrassed to ask in the 4.15 Confusion Hareem.

There is another track from Album of the Week by Sade, another play of Record of the Week by Michael Franti and Spearhead, Lester's Library tracks from My Morning Jacket and Steve Vai, and one of your choices from the Listener's Library by Sham 69.

Buffoons are go!
