Yep

Those were some of the most ridiculous goals I've ever seen Scotland score, and I'm 53. #TheFootball #ScoDen

PLEASE, MY HEART #TheFootball #ScoDen

I'M GOING TO NEED A NEW BED #TheFootball #ScoDen

I'M SICK OF SHITTING THIS BED NOW #TheFootball #ScoDen

SHIT THE BED AGAIN #TheFootball #ScoDen

It’s an uncharted sea, it’s an unopened door, although frankly if you’ve never heard Off The Chart before you’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Still, this seems like as good a place as any to start so join us at 9pm on Noisebox Radio as we go back to today in 1988! offthechart.show/18-november-...

SHIT THE BED #TheFootball #ScoDen

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:

The terminally irritating Cloudflare "Prove you're a human" check that all websites now pointlessly shove you towards before they'll let you in is on its arse. I've never laughed so much.

The Barron Knights are better than Radiohead.

Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

May have just found the most niche present in the history of niche presents; a 500 piece jigsaw of the album art from Dinosaur Jr. album, Farm.

Yeah, ha ha, "no longer living but still in a box", very good, but I'm actually really sad about this. I bought both their albums, they made some really great pop songs and he had a fantastic voice. And 65 is absolutely no age. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

RIP Richard Darbyshire, 65, powerful British singer, composer and guitarist noted for his work in pop trio Living In A Box and their same titled international hit. He wrote songs for many others including The Temptations, Lisa Stansfield and Level 42 www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’ve heard a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true, all about Off The Chart and what it can do to you. Still, give it a listen anyway because this week we’re going back 40 years to look at the UK singles chart from this week in 1985! offthechart.show/11-november-...

We've lost Gilson Lavis. The engine behind my favourite band for so many years. Could take anything that Difford and Tilbrook threw at him and knew just what to do to make it work. He was there right from "Packet of Three" to "Play". He could rattle those toms like nobody else. Oh, what a loss.

Hi, I'm Ravishing Rick Rude, and I'm here to tell you to turn this off, you fuckers

Do give this a listen before Off The Chart starts, it's on now! noiseboxradio.com

Pleased to say a greatest hits collection done correctly. All single versions (to these old ears) present and correct - single mix of "Ant Rap", "Stand and Deliver" with fade out, even "Apollo 9" without that bit of the next track on the album at the end that blights every other compilation. Nice.

We regret to inform you that IT'S CHRIIIISTMAAAAS!!!! Vote in the 2025 Off The Chart Christmas Poll! Vote for all your favourite '80s Christmas hits, vote again for your absolute favourite, kick your least favourite in the nuts and then we'll play the results on Christmas Eve! offthechart.show/xmas/

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween... #halloween #cinema #graphicdesign #poster

Hope @benbaker.bsky.social leaves @noiseboxradio.com intact for us at 9pm! We’ve landed in 1984 this week for another two hours of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits on #OffTheChart - give us a listen, just this one, twice, forever? offthechart.show/28-october-1...

Gonna start calling these "Diane posts"

Don't like the look of that last one much, I hear some copies are still available. www.lulu.com/shop/steve-b...

Christ. The answer to "what was the most important thing you recorded on your first VCR?" (Betamax, of course) along with the 1987 repeats of Blackadder II.

CMAT is a legit legend

If you need more '80s than just 2 hours of 1989 in Off The Chart at 9pm AND a bonus hour of Off The Chart Too at 11, why not get over to @noiseboxradio.com an hour early? @benbaker.bsky.social is playing alternative music from '80s films in Middle-Aged Teenage Angst from 8pm! noiseboxradio.com/

Supplementary question: what's the worst artwork of any official album release by a major artist, and why is it "Popular Problems"?

Ace Frehley, #Kiss's original lead guitarist and one of the most iconic guitarists in rock and roll, has died, Frehley's family announced Thursday. He was 74. More on his life and legacy: bit.ly/3J2Avhc

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

I heartily recommend this product

I love how straightforward album titles were in the early days. Wouldn't it be so much better if, instead of unpronounceable hieroglyphics, Ed Sheeran's new album was just called "Here's Ed Sheeran"? Then you'd be able to avoid it a lot easier.

I must have missed THAT edition of Bullseye.

This is a theme that never gets old, like John Lennon listening to the Human League, or Freddie Mercury watching Vic Reeves' Big Night Out.

I saw Fred Dinenage's 3 Foot Long Egg supporting Cud at York Fibbers in 1993, etc etc.

We’re no strangers to #OffTheChart, you know the rules and so do I, so join us at 9pm on #NoiseboxRadio for two hours of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits from today in 1987!

The @noiseboxradio.com version is better.

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

It's #InternationalPodcastDay, so a good day to tell you that a very special episode 'drops' tomorrow, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Dexys great lost album. We're joined by @oharaviolin.bsky.social @kevadams.bsky.social @simonprice.bsky.social and Chris Heath to discuss this unique album! 🎠🎠🎠

The 'Riyadh Comedy Festival' reminds me of the story of Freddie Starr performing in the Middle East, under instruction not to swear or refer directly to Prince Hussein. He came on and said 'Which one of you fuckers is Prince Hussein?' and the curtain immediately came down.

"We'd hear it from the people of the town, they'd call us..."

Saw someone running earlier wearing a T-shirt that said "The reward for running is more running" and... that's not how rewards work.

Freddie Mercury died on the day that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" entered the UK singles chart.
