Alex Lester - 12/08/2010

Alex is here to keep you entertained with his unique brand of witty chat accompanied by a great selection of tunes. One of the oddest shows yet, this morning, as the question, "what is the strangest thing you have ever seen" prompts some very bizarre admissions. National Laundry Week continues, more confusion in The Similar Features Feature, the 4.15 One-Off Canteen opens its doors again and there is more Pause for Thought at 3.20am. There are some eclectic choices from Lester's Library today: a new track from a new band, The 99s, plus a vintage jazz piano piece from Art Tatum. Your choice from the Listener's Library is a Joan Armatrading song covered by Melissa Etheridge. There's another chance to hear Record of the Week from Robert Plant, and another track from Album of the Week by The Hoosiers.
