The first Half-Time Hooter of the Week has sounded which means more unexpected conversation, misfit wittiness and eclectic song selections from Lester's & the Listener's Libraries.
Buffoon Town is wide awake with the sound of the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week. Today he is re-inventing the Village People in YMCA for the Modern Day; in place of cowboys and construction workers we now have chavs, eco-warriors and teenaged pregnant mums with ASBOs. In Freaky Future, he has dropped a reverse time capsule off in the Edwardian era, filled with images of Jordan, The Muppets and Lady Gaga, and mobile phones and Ozzy Osbourne CDs to scare them witless about the future. And in today's News Hank, Paris Hilton is the subject of the hideous headlines, such as "Paris Spotted with Big Book". Be prepared to look at life as you may have never seen it before.
In Lester's Library there is vintage Devo and a new track from Air, while in the Listener's Library there is a track from Neil Young. More Album of the Week from Boyzone, Record of the Week from Whitney Houston and Pause for Thought with Tim Turvey.
Alex also gets your tips on the etiquette of social networking as part of Radio 2's Get Connected campaign.
