Playing out with a vapourwave mix of 'Last Christmas' by Wham! because I won't play it on the radio during December...
...I don't do Wham!ageddon myself, but I know a few people who do, and I'm not gonna be the one to make them lose the game.

I thought I'd get a bit of stick for doing a two-hour radio show with a vapourwave playlist.
Instead, I've had some grand praise, and it's all worked out rather nicely.
All down to the freedom that @noiseboxradio.com gives us hosts to try out this kind of stuff on air... so thank you :-)

So, until 2100 GMT/UTC, I'm live on @noiseboxradio.com with two hours of vapo(u)rwave mixes of well-known tracks for this Sunday evening's Weekend Winddown.
Definitely a Marmite option, but if you like it, please join me via noiseboxradio.com and various radio player apps.

Preparing for a radio show which is going out live tomorrow night.
And it's either going to be two hours of twisted genius, or a complete hot mess.
And I have no control over the situation, nor would I ever want to!

I'm disabled as you probably know. It's been another week of disabled people being demonised, depredated, targeted, mocked, marginalised and lied about and frankly, I'm fucking sick of it. These people should try it for a week, face the obstacles and difficulties we routinely face, try to stay calm

You know a great song will still fill a dancefloor in a club.
One of the last times that I was in one of those places, 'I Feel for You' by Chaka Khan did just that. #totp

Billy Ocean was, at that stage, doing better in the US charts than in the UK.
When I was younger, I thought that he was actually American. #totp
