Alex Lester - 14/04/2010

An early morning mix of music & conversation, including the first Half-Time Hooter of The Week. Also on the Best Time of the Day Show, Alex continues to re-invent himself as an intellectual; suggested names so far include Rupert St. John-Smythe and Johnny Tuxedo, and activities include touring the UK barefoot, lecturing on sandal economy. There are more alternative uses suggestions for dental floss in the Waxy Dental Hero, Ricky Gervais is the News Hank, and we introduce Boloxnia's resident fortune teller, Mystic Miss Fortune. Alex delves into his CD collection for Lester's Library and plays tracks from Sandy Denny and The New Pornographers. From the Listener's Library, Alex plays a track from Dame Shirley Bassey, written by Rufus Wainwright. There is another track from Album of the Week by Joshua Radin, Record of the Week by Eli "Paperboy" Reed, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
