Head of music at @NoiseboxRadio.com. Not officially autistic but I did write "Sound of the Crowd: a Discography of the '80s" which is just 500 pages of '80s singles with all their different formats and catalogue numbers, so...
From "Swerving the Checkatrade" by Half Man Half Biscuit, a song about stepping out with a lady rather than attending a match from a minor football tournament, as summed up in the lyric: "Oh, let me gaze upon your curves instead of Ipswich Town reserves."
What’s the best song lyric in history?

Back once again with the Renegade Master. We've been couples therapy. He said he'd try not to damge any more of my D4's with his ill behaviour, and so we're going to give it another go.

How annoying, Noisebox Radio is now so successful that we've had to do a charity record to raise money to pay all the PRS that we now need to pay for all our new listeners. 🙄 Luckily it's fantastic. houseofsplain.bandcamp.com/album/noiseb...

Off The Chart, 9pm on Noisebox Radio. Not just hits from this week in 1982... well, mainly that, but not the obvious ones, plus a load of other stuff too. And not necessarily from the Official Singles Chart. Especially the surprise no.1. offthechart.show/3-february-1...
Wednesday 3 February 1982
Never a frown with Off The Chart, even in a funny old week like this. We’re looking at the Record Business top 100 from this week in 1982, but two of the songs in the top ten were so far ahea…

At 9pm on Noisebox Radio we’re running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another’s hands, trying to get away into Off The Chart for a look at the hits of this week in 1988! We've got shiny new artwork and everything! offthechart.show/27-january-1...

Jeffrey blocked out two hours a week in his calendar to stop being an abuser, blackmailer and political fixer to hang out with me, Peter Mandelson, an innocent man. We would just chat about Bronski Beat.
Epstein kept me 'separate' from his sexual side because I'm gay, Mandelson tells BBC

Mandelson tells the BBC he won't apologise to Epstein's victims because he was not 'knowledgeable' of the situation.
