Listen: We count for nothing - apart from being absolutely correct in all cases - and you should be listening to this. BBVM is the radio event of the week. (If you don't, you might end up listening to us instead. And no-one needs that, do they?)

I can confirm that Keiron is absolutely banging on here and @hawaiiworms.bsky.social is a lovely chap. Go see them.

Look Mom No Computer didn't deserve to come last. However The Blender would like to assert that their song is a banger anyhow.

Hey, this isn't darkest West London! Hmm.

Can confirm - we listened to the looped, short beeping noises enough to test even our endurance. And we used to fall asleep to gabber.

If you saw the discussion me, @snathe.bsky.social and @theblender.online had and want the precis, here you go. As I said to them, I don't think Mutt Lange himself listened to the opening of this track as much as we did. docwallacemedicineshow.wordpress.com/2026/05/13/t...

With huge, huge thanks to @theblender.online and @docwallace.bsky.social for their help, we've worked out that it's most probably a number on the Kingsland Green exchange in London (the first 3 digits being 241). I feel like one of the great mysteries of the age has been finally solved!

WHEN'S BINS?!

Wow, what *is* all this crap, and why is it everywhere? And where was everybody? Christ.

*tap* is this thing on? Fuck, what's the password again

II. Pound Introducing hints of the Art of This live and thinking from the edge of the universe. (Date to be determined.) #TheArtOfThis #ArtOfThis #This #TheArtOfNoise #ArtOfNoise #Noise #Art

News: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar doesn't think OpenAI is ready to go public, nor that its revenue growth will support commitments. OpenAI's already-unprofitable margins have also got worse thanks to having to buy last-minute compute due to unanticipated demand. www.wheresyoured.at/openai-cfo-n...

There's an expanded version of Failure Is Inevitable incoming. Feel free to presave it!! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

Our good friends at @theblender.online discovered this reference to ALF in the Codemasters game Wacky Darts.

This summer - a hot night of non-stop electropop, with TV's Hacker T. Dog hosting! The Cuban Boys will play their hit (and all the other John Peel faves), the Pound Shop Boys will do Fireman Sam (and some surprises), and we'll top off this cabaret of carnage. www.eventbrite.com/e/spray-x-cu...

The Blender Will See You There!

HERE WE GO

Tomorrow at 18:00 BST there is going to be An Announcement.

Announcement Tonite!

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

Good *lord* - what now? Wrong answers only. We'll start in the replies.

I hope its a new scent.

Good *lord* - what now? Wrong answers only. We'll start in the replies.

You probably know, @pivot-to-ai.com.web.brid.gy, but your website is currently broken, sadly.

My Muzik? Pop.

My Sharona? The Knack

My Maroney? Boney.

My Baker? Hylda.

My Man? Portugal.

My Bunny? Jive.

If you're looking for a playlist to sum up the diverse listenership of @noiseboxradio.com, try this thread, and these three freewheeling hours of radio www.mixcloud.com/NoiseboxRadi... (And yeah, Madoc/Tarmey, perhaps not Recordiau Sain's finest release. Clearly @pantosplaining.bsky.social's fault)

Portsmouth Sinfonia – Classical Muddly for @theblender.online Hayseed Dixie – Need To Calm Down for @suzyburn.bsky.social BA Robertson – Saint Saens for @stevebinnie.me.uk Ruth Madoc & Bill Tarmey – Our Song of Love for @rhys.newydd.net Scarlet – Independent Love Song for @colmincambs.bsky.social

It's Noisebox Radio's 4th birthday week! We're celebrating with a week of special live shows. We're a non-profit station, so if you like what we do & want to help us to our 5th and beyond, consider chucking us spare change at www.noiseboxradio.co... Thank you for your support xx

The best event radio of the year - we look forward wholeheartedly to the return of Ben Baker vs Bin Day.

It's true!

Rewarding those who have contributed to Noisebox with three hours of fun requests....what could possibly go wrong? Find out at 8pm tonight - LIVE on @noiseboxradio.com

Including us.

NEW! NEU! NOUVEAU! We're back, babies with the brand new song 'Somewhere Out There (Somebody's Burying A Body)' on Vol 4 of the @beatcanceruk.bsky.social CD. Video, streaming, mixes to follow! beatcancer.info/product/vol-...

The Blender requests - nay, demands - you buy multiple copies for yourself, family and friends. It's a corker, and the ideal present for 'er indoors.

Boosting a fellow @spraypopmusic.com remixer who has made an actual tune unlike us! You can find our version of Hammered On Monday on last year's Re-SPRAYer, of course. (Plus a load of other Spray mashups made especially for the show, too.)

The Blender will eventually return. In the meantime: a journey towards a better life for a blind cat who is being brought across the world as a companion of one our regular listeners. www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

A very special "Ben Baker Vs Monday" tonight as we celebrate thirty wonderful years of February 23rd 1996. Bring a tissue, its going to get emotional. 8pm on noiseboxradio.com

To celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday, this was when the Art of Noise met the great comedian, actor, raconteur and performance artist Kenneth Williams, who once said he hated innuendo. If he saw it in a script, he whipped it out immediately.

You see this cat? That's us, that is. See you soon.

I should blow my own trumpet more and this project I've started with the gadabout punk poet Keiron is absolutely ace. You should follow us @theactionists.bsky.social

Absolutely. The Blender's productions have been thrown together in all sorts of things over the years, including Cool Edit 2000, some DVD dubbing software from 1997, and a long-defunct demo of Sony Vegas.

In honour of Singles Awareness Day, we are happy to remind you that we did a show about Love once. No idea what is on it, but you might be interested, anyhow. www.mixcloud.com/theblenderon...

Have you got yours yet? houseofsplain.bandcamp.com/album/noiseb...

Serves you right for all those daft poses when someone pulls a camera out, really.

This week we noted the similarity of the cartoon of local radio personality Nic Tuff with @theblender.online's very own national treasure @rikward.com. What do you think, readers?
