On the last Ben Baker Vs. Monday, I played all this stuff. Sound like your sort of thing? Find it on the Noisebox Mixcloud or my personal Patreon now, along with tons more programming from my mouth and mind. www.patreon.com/BenBaker2000

Ben and I got drunk and made a record to fund @noiseboxradio.com, which has become so popular the PRS fees have skyrocketed. So go and buy it, it's a Eurodance version of the theme from Minder like I might have done with Daz twenty years ago.

Coming up this Thursday... episode 5

The video for my new song "But I'm Getting Used To It" is almost at 300 views which is quite something for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNmY...

Last week on "Ben Baker Vs Monday" I played this lot and it seemed to go ok. So lets try again tonight at 8pm and hope for the best. #highpressuresalespitch noiseboxradio.com

On Sizzletown, @tonymartin.bsky.social mentioned how accurate Chicago looks in All Her Fault so I must reiterate how much I'm enjoying the way Girl Taken has depicted "the North of England" #LocationScoutFTW

Live in Leeds last night, in unusual lighting

Saturday gig in Leeds. @alfsplaining.bsky.social and @thecubanboys.bsky.social

Six years ago today, we did the Chump (For My Love) video on Crosby Beach.

I only liked the Manics when they were in that Sunday night ITV cop drama #totp

When we spoke to Paul Fusco last year he was so kind with his time it ended up being a two parter. Why not give it a listen, especially part 2 (cos it's got a lot less views than part 1 & some interesting revelations) Part 1 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vY8... Part 2 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0JH...

Are you in Leeds tomorrow? We're kicking off 2026 at Wharf Chambers with @beatcanceruk.bsky.social - here's what you can expect..

It'll soon be summer

The makers of Girl Taken really have gone the extra mile to capture the famous traditional natural beauty of the British landscape. #PureCinema

If you've never tried an episode of my live radio show, this is what I played last Monday night from 8-10pm. Sound worth an ear or two? Point them at noiseboxradio.com this evening.

I had little to do other than narrate this film but I've agreed to do the Q&A anyway, which should be a right hoot.

The single remix of 'The Big Idea'. Do you prefer this to the album mix? Or the Hyperextended version... open.spotify.com/album/1Qbuug...

Delighted to clock up another entry on the Festive 50 with last year's Tony Wilson tribute Praxis Makes Perfect @dandelionradio.bsky.social dandelionradio.com/2025festive5... Rest assured plans are afoot for a wider release this year! youtu.be/g1A-aGf-31w?...

Rest assured, genuine consumer, the Spray Organisation are hard at work behind the scenes on a new album and more info will be revealed.

I still like the way his big fat head makes it look like it says BOORIS.

Here are the lads re-recording Inertia Kicks somewhere south of the river in January 2000, after the Gibson Bros refused us the use of their 'Cuba' sample. Jenny took the picture.

Watching the Shaun The Sheep movie in the knowledge my PRS will pay for the biscuits we've just bought from the cash and carry and are eating now.

Da weekend etc

Interesting video about the flute riff in Down Under, Greg Ham's death and Adam Hills' involvement in the whole thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkEO...

'Anthologised By Cherry Red' was the first video from Failure Is Inevitable, filmed with our regular collaborator and great pal @philfletcher.bsky.social

Come on, how else are you going to spend your dinner than by reading along with a child's ALF book with me and @benbaker.bsky.social?

'Everybody Dances (To Digital Music)' from the Offerings From The Algorithm EP. Or is it '(Everybody Dances To) Digital Music'? We can't remember.

This really is an absolute hoot, from the sidebar of "non TV" things we cover on @alfsplaining.bsky.social

Another video from Failure Is Inevitable, filmed about a week before lockdown, here's the remix of 'Chump For My Love'

HEY it's that mysterious fifth member of Wet Wet Wet who never appears in the photographs! #Totp

I for one am devastated at the lack of Adam!

BBC four missing on @virginmediatv.bsky.social remind me why do I pay extortionate fees for this again?

I'm the best one

Working hard inside the puppet workshop… or staged just for the photos? You decide!!
