Winding up your week with the Dark Lord's final musical instalments from Lester's Library and the Listener's Library, Record and Album of the Week and Pause for Thought.

The week's final instalment of random daftness and planned oddities from the Dark Lord. It's the final day of National Trash Week, there are more stories which begin "My heart sank when...", more alternative ways to tell the time without the use of clocks, another gang are welcomed into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and it's Feelgood Friday.
First up in Lester's Library is singer/songwriter Neville Skelly from Liverpool, and the second track is from reggae act, Pama International. Your choice from the Listener's Library this morning is a track from Elton John's "Caribou" album. There is a final track from Album of the Week by Sheryl Crow and another spin of Record of the Week by I Am Arrows.
Alex is back on Monday to smother those Monday blues with his dark cloak of madness. Nobody else, nowhere else.
