Live in Leeds last night, in unusual lighting

Lads on tour @benbaker.bsky.social @alfsplaining.bsky.social @thecubanboys.bsky.social

Partway through the most chaotic @thecubanboys.bsky.social set I’ve witnessed.

DJ set before @thecubanboys.bsky.social The smoke machine operator was on overtime.

It was The Bridge. Sadly, the neighbourhood wasn’t being regaled by Whole Again played on a never-ending loop.

Back in Leeds tonight. Going to head towards the same bar; see if the speakers are still stuck on Whole Again.

Every song can be improved by replacing “love” with “lube”.

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

There is a set of Bee Gees statues on the prom in Douglas. If the statues are life-size, the Gibb brothers were taller than I expected.

This morning’s unexpected - and not particularly welcome - earworm is this: youtu.be/PY5zwufNYk8 Ugh.

Currently being treated to I Don’t Like Mondays. It’s Friday.

Out on the tiles tonight for Sound of the Sirens.

It’s five o’clock somewhere.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: Spray Spray Spray Spray Spray

Why do all the cool kids like DHCP? Because it uses port 67.

I like my men how I liked my coffee: covered in foamy white liquid.

Get thee to spray.bandcamp.com and spray-shop.fourthwall.com and spend, spend, spend!

If you missed out on the tour T-shirts last year, we've added them to the excellent print-on-demand site Fourthwall. spray-shop.fourthwall.com/en-gbp We can't vouch they'll be as good as the ones we had printed, or as friendly to your wallet, but in this economy it's the best we can do.

Looks like @metoffice.gov.uk is reporting some yellow snow near Birmingham. I remember the advice I was given as a youngster about eating the stuff.

Oops.

Happy New Year from us to you x

Nearly forgot to do my New Year's Resolution "joke"! For 2026, my New Year's Resolution will be 1280x1024.

Mills & Dune

It's Saturday, it's noon, and it feels profoundly strange not to be subjected to the customary aural abuse from @theblender.online.

Are we required to own up to any that we recognise / remember submitting?

First result. Wish I looked this good.

Jasper Carrott implies the existence of Jasper Stickk.

Did you pay for your second-rate "jokes" about seasonal marzipan-based baked goods?

See you next year

Well, gosh, gee, and golly. After many, many years of receiving unimaginative, boilerplate "low-hanging fruit" phishing attempts, I have finally been the target of a spear-phishing attempt. I'm not sure whether to feel proud and accomplished that someone thinks I'm worth ripping off, or worried.

This morning's unplanned, but welcome and seasonal, earworm is this corker: spray.bandcamp.com/album/in-the...

I've written and produced a radio play (and with only minimal help from Charles Dickens)! "A Noisebox Christmas Carol" gets its premiere on Christmas Eve at 8:30pm and I'm very proud of it. The @noiseboxradio.com team have really stepped up and its all very silly indeed. A proper Christmas special.

Contains quality, too.

Should you wish to listen to the catastrophe that was our Xmas show, then a link is provided here: www.mixcloud.com/theblenderon... Contains audio.
