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. More tributes to the on/off button on the final day of National Switch Week; more haunted toilet seats in "Possessed Possessions", and let's point and laugh at the person who just spluttered out a made-up word in "Tongue-Twister Twaddle". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am and a final chance to ask that burning question in the 4.15 Confusion Hareem.

There's one more track from Album of the Week by The Pierces, Record of the Week from Patrick Wolf, Lester's Library tracks from The Buzzcocks and Paul Simon, one from the Listener's Library by The Leningrad Cowboys, and a fabulous track by Aneka to start your weekend on a high as we "Ramp up the Camp".

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