The Pound Shop Boys will be live and direct TONIGHT at @thegraystonunity.bsky.social in Halifax! Be there!!

Two days of Halifax-based ALF-themed fun begins tonight

And *we* are going too! Come meet us, then go watch someone with talent.

26 years ago *today* we went on the Atlantic 252 breakfast show and tonight we are in Halifax with Hacker T Dog - I think that's pretty good going.

Do you like voting? Well have we got good news for you! You can vote once a day for Spray in the Radio Wigwam Awards as Best Indie Pop Act! We're about halfway down the page here RadioWigwam.co.uk/awards_voting

No, *you* are travelling the length of the country to see a performance of an Xmas hit from 1999. #TheBlender25

I mean, there is only one choice.

This Saturday it'll be the 26th Anniversary of its release, why not come to Halifax and join @thecubanboys.bsky.social with @theactionists.bsky.social, Wonky Puss and direct from their triumphant Manchester Academy gig the @poundshopboys.bsky.social & Hacker T. Dog www.facebook.com/events/41020...

We'll be there, along with a random assortment of our listeners! Come join us - it will be an experience. (That's the best way we can describe it.)

There's now a catchup of the triumphant ReSPRAYer experience, featuring new & unreleased stuff from @spraypopmusic.com, The Pound Shop Boys, The Actionists, and also us! Yup - SIX new Spray & Spray-adjacent mashups for you, plus a bonus new one from us, too. www.mixcloud.com/theblenderon...

Do it now. Do it then. Do it many. For all times.

The Pound Shop Boys with their pal Bob Wriggles from the @lancashirehotpots.bsky.social, mere seconds before they took the stage at the Manchester Academy last night. Thanks to the Pots for having us on!

An absolute tonne of unreleased material is being played on this. Tune in!

Starting in 15 minutes with the Chillout Lounge before we hurtle headlong into the world of Spray this year with SIX all-new bad ideas from us! Do listen in from 12 as they may never speak to us again afterwards. #TheSPRAYer

Multiple frolics are available assuming the relevant insurance policies allow. Join us from 12 at listento.theblender.online! #TheReSPRAYer

It's nearly time for the annual celebration of us, although we are too modest to mention it on social media. Tune in in about two hours for a heck of a lot of fun and substantial frolics!

TODAY! Assuming we can plug everything in correctly, we present to you remixes, rarities, and inexplicable ideas from our own fevered mind, too. listento.theblender.online from 12pm!

Tomorrow! (Just.) We have put an upsettingly large amount of work into this, so it would be nice if you could take the time to listen to it. (Of course, feel free not to if you don't like brilliant music - that's your problem, not ours.) #TheReSPRAYer #TheBlender25

Yeah, absolutely. It felt totally new and different at the time, and caused a lot of discussion. And even so, it is an enduring banger and a wonderful piece of music.

Two and half hours of @spraypopmusic.com - the best band in the universe, in our annual Spray-specific stream! - SIX new mashups of Spray & friends from us at The Blender! - Extended Spray! - Remixes & Rarities! Who knows what you might find? listento.theblender.online from 12pm Saturday!

Don't feel obliged to go to spray.bandcamp.com this #BandcampFriday - but if you do you can get a free download of our new version of In The Bleak Midwinter. All we ask is that you browse the rest of our wares on offer.

Really excited for people to see the second episode of PantoSplaining tomorrow as I think its one of the funniest things we've ever done. Every panto poster is like a very specific slice of pop culture history and I love them so follow @pantosplaining.bsky.social if you havent already please.

Literally many hours upon hours have gone into making this - and making sure the band don't block us on all social media subsequently - so do join in if you can, if only to hear the questionable results. Oh, and also the best mashup we've ever made. #AllSprayAllDay #TheReSPRAYer #TheBlender25

The ReSPRAYer this year is our 5th instalment of our shows dedicated to the best band in the known universe, @spraypopmusic.com - and since they've concentrated on releasing remixes and re-imaginings this year, then so have we. And we've also gone a bit mad and made SIX new mashups. #TheReSPRAYer

See?! We are relevant. And irreverent.

Well, we'll repost it then. And thank you, of course. Anyway: Saturday @ 12pm. Tell everyone on BlueSky! #TheReSPRAYer

Fans of 80s Advertising Jingles performed by Lancashire's two premier bands will *love* our version the 1981 Woolworths song...

Yes! We have merch! It's also from 20-35% off for the next few hours due to Siberia Monday or whatever it is. We'll refresh the lines next year, but if you fancy something to put off the family over Xmas, you might want to take a gander here: shop.theblender.online #TheBlender25

Whamageddon this www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifP_...

If you're engaging in one of the more joy-sucking pursuits of the festive season, Whamageddon can I just remind you the rules do state "only the original version counts" which is - as you all know - the original 1984 7" mix, which you certainly won't hear. You will hear the 1985 Pudding mix edit.

We regret to inform you that there are now SIX new mashups from us, finished and ready to go in this month's The ReSPRAYer! Chock full of Spray and Spray-adjacent content, focusing on remixes, including old stuff, new stuff, unheard stuff, our stuff, and more! Saturday at 12pm! #TheReSPRAYer

Im launching the Noisebox Advent Calendar in a minute or two (repeated at half 1) and Ive picked some right old shite! Enjoy! noiseboxradio.com

If anyone can get to Halifax in a fortnight (Sunday 14th Dec), your 'splaining pals will be leading a day of carousing and talking about how bad the ALF Christmas Special is. All welcome! Well...most.

We will be there! And don't let that put you off.

The Blender supports the idea of such an income. We would pay our bills, and then use our time to do more of what we already do but don't have the time for. And if we had any time and energy left over, do something for charity if they would want us.

Good *gravy* is the tracklist for The ReSPRAYer going to be exciting. And we are rarely excited. All sorts of stuff by all sorts of people - much of which might be fresh to many! Any requests, anyone? No guarantees, but it might help us decide between similar things. #TheReSPRAYer #TheBlender25

Yep - we've done the impossible (and/or ill-advised) and we've actually gone on and made a bunch of mashups which the band will hopefully not disown us for. One of them is genuinely one of the best things we've ever done, we think. Want to judge? You know where to be. #TheSPRAYer #TheBlender25

Sorry we've been quiet. And no: it's none of your business. What is important however is that we will be BACK in December with The ReSPRAYer, featuring all things remixed, remodelled and, er, removed from the @spraypopmusic.com catalogue, including a ton of Spray mashups from us! #TheBlender25

Here is the first poster we will be looking at in detail, at PantoSplaining!

If you are in Liverpool tonight then you should be going to see @spraypopmusic.com at The Outpost tonight, plus some of their chums. There is nothing better. We will not be, sadly, but you are guaranteed as good a time as is possible without us. #TheBlender25 www.songkick.com/concerts/426...
