I'm tempted to bring a tripod to the next gig I come to and just leave the phone to record the entire set

A hearty congratulations to @rhys.newydd.net who has won their very own Blender next year!

The first tune we ever played was Legs by The Art Of Noise (attached below) - which we intended to use as a bed after the initial fanfare, but clammed up due to fright instead.

A while back when I was furiously googling wtf this shit is about, I ran across a guy who put retroreflective tape on the backs of his rear headrests. The result is that anyone with high, retina-searing headlights gets it blasted right back at them, and it's worse the closer they get

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

As ever, Squage Party was much fun to do - hope you enjoyed it too!

If you didn't catch today's show, or you fancy listening again, then the two hours of BBC Radio 2 levels of professionalism, check it out here

Squage Party - Friday 26th September 2025!

Pat's back with another 90 minutes of party bangers, and a novelty song of the week that... well, you'll see. It's a fun one, and of course entirely sensible. Think Radio 2. (And then add beer.)

Happening this Saturday: 2.5ish hours of self-produced mashups by The Blender of variable age and quality (and no apparent correlation between the two, either).

Tell the world! Around this time 25 years ago, The Blender foisted itself upon the world, and we've barely been away since (minus that small 18-year gap)!

To celebrate, we're playing Almost Everything We've Ever Made, including old - and new! - stuff we've never played before!

Saturday @ 12!

Tonight, at 6pm, the next edition of the Spray Synthpop Masterclass goes live - it's an "as-live" listening party that was supposed to be "actually live" last Thursday but the tech fell over.

But it will be in vision too, so check it out on the Spray YouTube channel.
