The Blender will see you soon

The Blender requests - nay, demands - you buy multiple copies for yourself, family and friends.

It's a corker, and the ideal present for 'er indoors.

Any chance of a copy? We'll fit it in a future show.

We concur!

Boosting a fellow @spraypopmusic.com remixer who has made an actual tune unlike us!

You can find our version of Hammered On Monday on last year's Re-SPRAYer, of course. (Plus a load of other Spray mashups made especially for the show, too.)

The Blender will eventually return.

Thirty fabulous years of February 23rd 1996

A very special "Ben Baker Vs Monday" tonight as we celebrate thirty wonderful years of February 23rd 1996. Bring a tissue, its going to get emotional. 8pm on noiseboxradio.com

To celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday, this was when the Art of Noise met the great comedian, actor, raconteur and performance artist Kenneth Williams, who once said he hated innuendo. If he saw it in a script, he whipped it out immediately.

A huge cat luxuriating on a bed in The Blender's local pub.

You see this cat?

That's us, that is.

See you soon.

I should blow my own trumpet more and this project I've started with the gadabout punk poet Keiron is absolutely ace. You should follow us @theactionists.bsky.social

Absolutely. The Blender's productions have been thrown together in all sorts of things over the years, including Cool Edit 2000, some DVD dubbing software from 1997, and a long-defunct demo of Sony Vegas.

Could be worse. Could be Jamiroquai.

Please see the subsequent reply for, well, the result

It's here, anyway: m.soundcloud.com/musicofmason...

Assuming you mean Get What You Give, did you ever hear the tech-house remix?

In honour of Singles Awareness Day, we are happy to remind you that we did a show about Love once. No idea what is on it, but you might be interested, anyhow.

Have you got yours yet? houseofsplain.bandcamp.com/album/noiseb...

Serves you right for all those daft poses when someone pulls a camera out, really.

This week we noted the similarity of the cartoon of local radio personality Nic Tuff with @theblender.online's very own national treasure @rikward.com. What do you think, readers?

The Cuban Boys kicking it live again, with Flossie's Alarming Clock and The Vinyl Countdown for those nostalgic for the millennium.

For those with disposable income too, we are available for bookings.

Peel Session vinyl 10" EP available as well! cubanboys.bandcamp.com/album/pre-03...

Ben Baker vs Monday is a radio occasion after our own heart, albeit crucially with actual decent music. Tune in, won't you? You won't regret it.

WHAT A SONG

Feel free!

We've been listening to this over the last few weeks and it will actually give your head a wobble.

We've read that before, but couldn't remember most of it and were due a refresher!

Having just listened to them both back-to-back again, we agree wholeheartedly!

You've made us consider!

We think we just about agree, but it's a close-run thing. Perhaps the album mix fits better in the context of the album itself.

Also, the Hyperextended remix remains the longest tune that we have, and maybe ever will, play. (It was post-show too for an extra hour!)

The single remix of 'The Big Idea'. Do you prefer this to the album mix? Or the Hyperextended version...

The Blender are heartened by this news, not least because we could do with some new material for The SPRAYer VI this year.

We were also at that concert and it was most excellent! You might be interested in The ReSPRAYer which is the latest in our annual Spray series, which contains a few exclusive tracks, one of which might turn up on the new album. Plus, some Spray mashups by us!
