Rik Ward, again

Made lots of websites once - now looks after people who do. Music, Art and Indie Game appreciator. General gentleman. 'Performer' of internet radio mistake The Blender. Rip-off Artist. Affectionately known, by some, as Major Disaster.
Thanks to everyone who has voted in this so far - very interesting battle at the top right now that could go any number of ways. TMBG or XTC? The Colourfield or Colourbox? Chas N Dave or Ric N Jen? Neil Innes or Napalm Death? Only you can decide! noiseboxradio.com/anthems/
Have you voted in the Noisebox Anthems poll? The zaniest boutique radio station around has amassed about a zillion listener favourites, and it's up to *you* to decide in what order top DJ and ALF fan @benbaker.bsky.social plays them. It's your duty to shake your booty at noiseboxradio.com/anthems/
Ben Baker@benbaker.bsky.social · 3d agoNoisebox Anthems IV is live! Here's a selection of the sort of stuff we play every day on @noiseboxradio.com but we want to know which you like most. I'll count down the top 50 live on Monday 31st August like I'm one of those Bruno Brookeses they used to have. noiseboxradio.com/anthems/
And a huge thank you to @rikward.com for all his assistance putting together the Anthems microsite. Each option has an attached video so hopefully you'll have fun going through them all. Go go go!
It has been an absolute pleasure to roll up the webular sleeves and help out with this year's Noisebox Anthems season and I genuinely implore you to go get lost in a set of indie-flecked pop fun and pick which ones you truly enjoy the most. noiseboxradio.com/anthems is the place to be!

This is always an excellent event, and last year I even discovered some new favourite things I'd never heard before. Well worth a look with your eyes and a feel with your ears this time around!

You all know you don't have to watch their rolling coverage of nothing right? It's not actually important.

WHAT A FUCKING RECORD@whatafuckingrecord.bsky.social · 2mo ago40
I am all for a remake of Sonic CD if the rumors are true, especially if they make it not the utterly broken, largely stymied and massive disappointment like the original MegaCD release was. (Keep the music though, that was banging.)
My model for this year's Meccano show. He drives around waving his carry handle and cord reel at people and just generally being a cheeky fella.
