I have got this in my lugholes

ONE HOUR before this all kicks off, and we've rarely been more terrified. #TheBlender25

Are you cool? Are you fun? Want to be *cooler* and *funner*? Of course you do! Well! Only the coolest and funnest people sport The Blender's merch, as expertly modelled by the laptop below. Provided at cost price to our bewildered listeners at shop.theblender.online amongst T-shirts and more.

Things by @theactionists.bsky.social and @spraypopmusic.com which haven't (and/or hadn't) been heard anywhere else! Requests! Recommendations! Mashups we've made that aren't available elsewhere! A very real sense of jeopardy and a serious risk of falling apart in real-time! Today! #TheBlender25

Today! 12pm! We return! Pop, remixes, mashups, covers and all of the stuff you remember The Blender for - just, well: again! - Ex-exclusives! - The Blender's Health Warnings! - Diversions! - Extended Plays! - Stone Cold Bangers! Requests welcome! listento.theblender.online from 11:30!

Join our Discord! We have a load of lovely listeners, some of which support each other throughout the chaos of our emissions - and you can be one of them! discord.gg/upn5Jx5Z?eve... will as a bonus sign you straight up to our excellent show tomorrow!

OK, it looks like we're going to end up switching out about a third of the playlist at short notice because of things we'd forgotten. This is fine. #TheBlender25

We have a logo. Repeat: We have a logo! #TheBlender25

That's my tomorrow made. Can't wait.

You too could be as happy as this man. Just listen to us at listento.theblender.online from 12pm tomorrow, and let the experience wash over you like an unwelcome downpour. #TheBlender25

We were unable to tune into this, but you absolutely should! Make a note in your weekend diaries. If it wasn't for this tremendously professional, regular, and inimitable slice of feel-good audio, The Blender wouldn't be the sprawling mess it is today.

The rumours are true! Assuming the frantic panicking of the intervening hours is fruitful, The Blender's Triumphant Return is back on the Internet from 12pm tomorrow! Featuring! - Ex-exclusives! - The Blender's Health Warnings! - Extended Plays! - Stone Cold Bangers! ...and more! #TheBlender25

BlueSky hive mind - please recommend some cool indie live promoters/bookers/agents who might enjoy working with John Peel favourites and million-selling novelty wonky pop stars the Cuban Boys. Or if you *are* one, get in touch! We can bring Hacker T Dog if that'll seal the deal.

I feel we don't pay enough attention in life to the absolutely insane celebrity-swamped sleeve to Russ Abbot's hit All Night Holiday. Some more recognisable than other. It's the most 1985 thing ever.

This coming Saturday is going to overload my poor brain. @theblender.online in the afternoon, followed by @spraypopmusic.com in the evening? I'm not sure what I did to deserve such largesse. I must have been really good in a past life.

We'd just like to remind the Internet that we did a mashup of this with the version by Rod Hull & the kids from Emu's Pink Windmill - it took forever, and it's as good as you expect. Why? Because we could call it All Night Hulliday - and once we've got an idea, we'll pursue it no matter what.

The "in" rather than "on" is intentional here. You can find if you scout around hard enough, but it's not publicly available. What a tease, eh? #TheBlender25

And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in fun And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on And I don't know why I have to make a song youtu.be/AZ6VvJ5j4mI?...

Please repost that post below for the best chance of Ryan Reynolds hearing about ALFsplaining.

We appreciate the enthusiasm - however misguided - but we don't have a show this weekend. Next weekend. We even have a Discord invite. How much clearer can we make it? #TheBlender25

After careful analysis I can bring you the greatest moment in EastEnders 40 year history - Pete & Arthur play Burnin' Rubber on the Amstrad GX4000

One of The Blender's shows this year will be The Blender's Spotify Playlist. Ever wondered what we listen to outside our shows? No? Us neither. It will be an expurgated list of what an algorithm thinks of us. That'll be interesting, won't it? Stay tuned for more. #TheBlender25

By the way, did you ever wonder what the best song in the world might be? It could be this by @spraypopmusic.com: youtu.be/DP0JHaIUPzw Of course, it's all subjective, but it's not our fault that you might be wrong. #TheBlender25

Hello, morning crowd! We have news for you and we would love you to tell all of your friends - and particularly, your enemies - so we can inflict ourselves upon the maximum possible audience over the next year. What's not to like? (Spoiler: Some of it.) #TheBlender25

We have no idea what this is but are quote-skeeting it for reasons

Not that it matters - there will be a show this year where we will play *every single mashup we've ever made* - including those under different names. Hopefully all slightly remastered if we can be bothered, and there'll be ones you've not heard 'cos we had forgotten them too. #TheBlender25

Oh god, is this some kind of contest? Was All Night Hulliday not enough? Was Black Lace x St. Winifred's School Choir not enough? What is *wrong* with you people? #TheBlender25

Anyone reading this might think that we have horrendous taste in music. We refute this. As a further example, there aren't many shows where you'd hear Saturday Night with Ann Lee singing over the top, are there? Fuck. #TheBlender25

You should go to Leeds and support @spraypopmusic.com rather than us - we wanted to go and sadly it hasn't panned out and so we will be playing Spray (as per the perennially watertight contractual obligations) and exhorting everyone to go. Besides, we're on at lunchtime. Can't you do both?
