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.

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, it is the final day of National Spillage Week, hear more tales of rugs and reputations that have been damaged beyond repair because of a silly spill. Are you using your old TV as a door stop? Are you using the broken treadmill as a coat stand? Hear all about it in the thread, "Mock Stock". There's another visit to the 4.15 Confusion Hareem and Pause for Thought at 3.20am with Andrew Martlew.

There's one more track from Album of the Week by Sade, Record of the Week by Michael Franti and Spaerhead, Lester's Library tracks from Hank Williams and 12 Stone Toddler and one from the Listener's Library by Fox the Fox.

Expect the unexpected, and you are still in for a surprise.
