Is the shock that poor newspaper reproduction has resulted him becoming a terrifying Red Skull-style wraith?

Radio station: "Listen to the best of pop from the last 50 years" Almost every contestant to station's pop quiz: "I'M RETIRED AND I WILL HAVE NO TRUCK WITH ANYTHING AFTER 1982".

Looking forward to this reboot of SeaQuest DSV and / or Sliders.

Are you a Middle-Aged Teenage Angst listener? And do you have a last.fm page (however abandoned) and don't mind me plucking something from it to play in a future show? Share the links here and I'll see if I get enough for a full programme. www.last.fm/user/BenOrdinary

Its been a tough week and I'm amazed I've gotten a Middle-Aged Teenage Angst together so please do pity me with a listen to an hour of songs I find comforting, starting with Aphex Twin's bloody lovely "i".

An evening of comforting sounds. Well, to me anyway. Come unfurl with me. 8pm BST, @noiseboxradio.com

HERE WE GO, GANG.

I wish to become popular on the internet. Please tell me, is this memes?

I think I might be on a "block this prick because he used AI once for a stupid post" list based on the random pattern of notifications I keep getting. A world on fire and still people want to fight over the dumbest things. Au revoir I suppose.

Despite my laptop then external hard drive completely dying, tomorrow there will be a Middle-Aged Teenage Angst on @noiseboxradio.com. I'm not saying I'm Jesus or owt - that is for other people to say.

How do you apply to be a Randy Van Warmer? Asking for a me. #popmaster

Happy 70th birthday ITV, the number one broadcaster for things I have absolutely no interest in.

#totp watchers, this upcoming book of mine may interest you!

I adore Silver Sun. Then and now. They deserved so much more and James remains a huge loss to music.

Looking forward to the new version "(How Does it Feel) To Mindlessly Shout At A Hotel?"

Looking forward to hearing England United's "(How Does It Feel To Be) On Top of the Washing Machine" again. Except for when I'm not. #totp

Dustin Gee seems the loveliest man who died far too young but he is bloody awful in everything I've seen.

If you like indie and alternative music, you might just enjoy this hour of sounds and occasional speaking going out on @noiseboxradio.com at 11am BST today.

15 minutes to go - it's hotting up in the green room as the stars mingle in preparation. Writer and personality @benbaker.bsky.social is ready to quiz the band and @analoguetrash.com are ready to play the tunes. www.youtube.com/@AnalogueTra...

Dare I ask.... @sentimentbot.bsky.social how am I?

Coming up this evening, Man About Town @benbaker.bsky.social hosting Band About Town @spraypopmusic.com as they all waffle on about the newest Spray releases until everybody gets bored. Go to www.youtube.com/@AnalogueTra... to join in the fun at 8pm.

One step forward, three billion and six back.

And after all the heartache with my dead laptop, my external drive has died...a month after I stopped paying for the backup cloud space because I couldn't afford it. 23 years of stuff potentially gone. Its just punch after punch after punch right now.

Tonight's "Middle-Aged Teenage Angst" is a throwback to the indie / alternative stuff I discovered when desperately chucking words into a search box on this newfangled piracy trip in the early 00s. Oh what it is to burn! noiseboxradio.com

This is great: it's got all the humour of Ben's show on Noisebox Radio (8pm on Tuesdays) plus some touching personal writing on growing up, 90s pop culture and the demise of late-night TV. Really looking forward to the next instalment!

Down to the last few copies of my pop culture zine. I wont be getting any more printed after this so if you want one, now is the time to pounce. ko-fi.com/benbakerbook...

Just finished this episode and its one of the very best. And I include me talking about "an old Morph" in that.

Find someone who looks at you the same way Eddy Grant looks at Michael Aspel during Telethon '88.

Hi. My name's Ben and I'm addicted to Nubby's Number Factory. It all started with Balatro cos you know, everyone else was doing it...and I thought "I can quit at any point"....

Ep 31 of my music textcast #FirstLastAnything. This week, read my conversation with the journalist and travel writer William Ham Bevan (@hambevan.bsky.social), where we cover TV schools soundtracks, one of the 70s' biggest bands and old tapes of the top 20. firstlastanything.co.uk/2025/09/14/f...

The bluest eyes in Texas Homecare are haunting me tonight.

Loving your work, Italian games magazines from 1992.

Now taking orders for "I READS ME JUSTIN LEWIS" badges. Available in large, very large and frankly ridiculous.

Anyone not singing the Mark and Lard lyrics to Horny right now is poorer for it. #totp

Ice Hockey Hair makes my soul glow. I was really annoyed at the time that it missed out on the top ten but then again, its a mad 6 minute prog song about mullets so number 12 is pretty bloody great. #totp

Every time I need to take some for my knackered shoulder, I sing "Co-co-codamol" in the style of Phil Collins' "Sussudio". Which might be a worse illness that the one I'm taking the tablets for to be honest.

Another chance to consume perhaps the best hour of radio I've ever done at 11am. Certainly the silliest. noiseboxradio.com

I do this, @outonbluesix.bsky.social and @benbaker.bsky.social because I love and respect you. Please enjoy my brain fruits and make sure you watch with the sound on.

Hear me recount the delightful casual racisms of my youth Plus: others.

Have cancelled my order for this believing it to be "Into The Grove" and about Ant McPartlin getting blinded by some paint. Instead, its apparently a fascinating history of 80s pop music. Will now buy twice to show him who is boss. (The boss is Geoff. From the Grove.)

Between finding out Ko-Fi have been taking (an not agreed on) 75p from every zine I sell to the almost entirely silent response last night on a radio show I put my soul into, I feel beyond defeated today. Nothing good is going to happen for me, why do I keep trying to be successful?

Welcome to Middle-Aged Teenage Angst™: the indie show with no commercial interruptions. Tonight we’re proud to convert your favourite cult singles into market-tested lifestyle solutions. Operators are standing by.

Please listen to Middle-Aged Teenage Angst from 8pm EXACTLY so I can explain whats going on with tonight's show. Thank you. noiseboxradio.com

Please listen to my radio show if you can tonight. There are many other great indie programmes but mine is a little bit different. But in a way that doesn't make it sound really wanky.... Look, just listen to it already. Please.

To the TRANSFORMING ROBOT SLASH EXTENDED BONNIE LANGFORD UNIVERSE NUTS in my life - he said the thing, so now you must help get this fine project over the line. Bleep bloop. *tapdances*
