SHOW!! The boys are back with two more episodes of FWA TV on The Wrestling Channel, featuring many tangents, the disgrace of a legend, a scuffle in a bar, and an on-air HR incident. Available now from your favourite podcast emporium and the first reply. Spread the word.

I’ve never been against ID cards with a couple of important caveats, that they be free to obtain and you don’t have to present them on demand. But, even more importantly, I am a white, middle-aged man and should have no say in this.

Already we’ve announced @cooraysmith.bsky.social @cairdiul.bsky.social @wringham.bsky.social @janehamilton.bsky.social @jonnelledge.bsky.social @nicolalove.bsky.social and Dana Miller for the issue… and we’ve so much more to come. Get on board - details below ⬇️

Tonight on @noiseboxradio.com - Two hours of the excellent Sugar & Lust (tonight on '95 Dance Music) at 8pm, and then the third and final part of my Covers special - the originals of songs you (probably) didn't know were covers.

A HANDBAG?!? Only if it's for putting in the middle of the dancefloor because tonight on THE SUGAR & LUST RADIO SHOW, only on NOISEBOX RADIO at 8pm, we're going all out with the DANCE MUSIC of 1995. All killer, no filler! Stay tuned at 10pm for more cover songs on BANDWIDTH, too! noiseboxradio.com

Releasing some Patreon comics over the next few days.

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.

6 Music playing The Bluetones, is it? FFS.

Just found out Billy Hudson from Game Chasers died a few days ago from a brain tumour. Billy and Jay were two of my “lockdown pals,” and I kept up with their adventures afterwards. This world is so shit.

Love hearing "Slack Motherfucker" on @noiseboxradio.com <3

And now a short advert for the Spray tour! Get your tickets here snd.click/@sprayontour

Finished the two issues of @assistant.bandcamp.com’s ‘zine, In the April Sun. Lovely stuff, a mix of personal and band stuff, with reviews of bands I’ve never heard of! Issue two closes out with a really thoughtful piece on Blur. Pick it up at assistant.bandcamp.com/merch

I know it’s ridiculous to reduce Cameo to “LOL codpiece” but they didn’t help themselves, did they? #TOTP

This song is ass but Michael McDonald’s voice is never less than 🔥 #TOTP

I made a New Year’s Resolution to buy a 7” from a different place each week. This week’s is the new single by Stereolab, bought from their Bandcamp page

I made a New Year’s Resolution to buy a 7” from a different place each week. Last week I picked up another single from a gig, “Stalking/Drawers” by the Mistys

I made a New Year’s Resolution to buy a 7” from a different place each week. Three weeks ago I picked up this single from a gig by The Burning Hell: “Nigel the Gannet” b/w “Lark Descending”

I’ve been lax as fuck about posting about it but I am still keeping to the New Year’s Resolution I made to buy a 7” from a different place each week. Four(!) weeks ago, I picked up 3 singles from Discogs seller DJ Phenomenology, starting with this, “Our Lips Are Sealed” by The Go-Go’s

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Am I right?

The difference between the #COVID vaccine eligibility and the flu vaccine eligibility is ridiculous when you remember that the government kept saying we should treat COVID "like flu". That being said, "eligibility" is ridiculous. All vaccines should be free. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We're listening to music that wasn't designed to be listened to tonight on THE SUGAR & LUST RADIO SHOW, only on NOISEBOX RADIO at 8pm! Two hours of 1978's finest LIBRARY MUSIC from the KPM MUSIC & BRUTON MUSIC archives! Plus more fun with cover versions on BANDWIDTH at 10pm! noiseboxradio.com

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...

Stop reading the news and normalize lounging inside “Visiona 2” by Verner Panton at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1970.

4th gig in 8 days & feeling it but couldn’t miss @dadimakesmusic.bsky.social in Birmingham, despite a move from the Institute to the soulless O2 Academy2. ALWAYS catch the support, lads, because then you don’t miss things like Australian singer @actualmontaigne.bsky.social who was warm & funny & ace

Gigs that don’t post stage times should be cancelled

Imagine feeling proud of a flag on a lamppost.

A bumper crop saw me listen to 50 albums and EPs released last month & so here are my ALBUMS OF THE MONTH for AUGUST 2025! Starting with TWO 10/10 albums, from Darren Hayman & his Electric Guitar and The Music Liberation Front Sweden...

Back at @justdroppedin.bsky.social in for another @joesors.bsky.social special, this time seeing @warringtonruncorn.com for the umpteenth time, opened by the totally new to me Paradise of the Titans, who was utterly mesmerising!

LEICESTERVAL: LEICESTER INDIEPOP WEEKENDER 2026 The thirteenth Leicester event, the second weekender. Saturday upstairs 2pm to around 10.30pm, Sunday downstairs 3pm to before 9pm followed by an indiepop disco upstairs to midnight. Full line-up ETA late October. wegottickets.com/event/676095

Don't miss the first-ever UK show by Precious indie-pop hitmakers JOSIE ... Sept 30th. It's their only London outing -- and they are in the UK for only a few days ... tickets selling fast at wegottickets.com/event/674297/

At the Royal & Derngate for The Horne Section’s Hit Show. Not sure how @alexhorne.bsky.social is going to make it back to the studio in time for @taskmaster.tv at 9pm but these are interesting times…

Anything they'll use this as an excuse to do, they were always going to do anyway. At least this way we got to have a moment of joy.

If you follow me you’re either a pal or like music. Probably both. Who doesn’t like music?!? ANYWAY. Ben’s ‘zine is a superb piece of work, neatly catching what music means to someone who lives through it. Like us.

£12 won’t even get you a pint in that swanky east London pub you wish you were cool enough to call your local so why not make yourself feel better by backing what will be a BRILLIANT mag? I’ll buy you a beer if you don’t like it. Not in east London, though.

I just hope I don't spend my entire life being flippant about the thing that eventually kills me, to the point that my last words are making light of that thing moments before suddenly falling victim to it. while everyone on earth quotes me making light of that thing to make fun of me

Who’s a big fuckety fuck up? Me, that’s who. Mr Fuck Up himself.

Back when I was SUPER into indie wrestling, Jaka was always a guaranteed good watch on Evolve shows as part of an awesome Catchpoint unit. 39, man… no age.

At @justdroppedin.bsky.social again for another of @joesors.bsky.social’s endless series of ace gigs. Tonight it’s The Burning Hell, all the way from Newfoundland (not just for this gig). Support was from Jon McKiel, doing something with loop pedals and an assistant with a noisebox. Amazing stuff.

I hope everyone got the alert for my zine being on sale just now. It also means the ice cream van has sold out.

The Burning Hell joins us at @justdroppedin.bsky.social this evening Buckle up and enjoy the ride as it's going to be wild 👌

This makes me so happy! Well done Glasgow x
