I do not believe they have friends but why not get a ticket for this anyway and be COOL AS FUCK? You might get to meet Daft Dog off the Online Safety videos!

We have been away, and we will continue to be away, BUT if you would like us to do a completely unprepared show tomorrow, then let us know. We haven't missed you. It's for legal reasons.

A huge shout out to Friend of The Blender @toxicshamesquadron.bsky.social, a regular listener and occasional contributor to our sonic emissions. While we're off floating around the cosmos, give this a bash. It's very funny.

A true historical treasure trove of a real, grassroots radio station with an enviably broad musical oeuvre. Go immerse yourself in this - click anything you like the look of and you'll get a music video too, so if you can't enjoy it - as people do - that's very much on you. #PeooleEnjoyIt

Some of you asked, so we only went and bloody did it - you can now see *every Noisebox Anthems chart* since its very inception at noiseboxradio.com/anthems - when you're in need of some musical inspiration, look no further! A huge thanks to @benbaker.bsky.social for the historical archives!

As you know doing a covers album is a sign of deep creative decline and fatigue - except in our case where we did a song a month through 2022 to remain alert. Whether we achieved this is debatable but it's back on streaming, so add Rubberband Man to your playlists! open.spotify.com/track/4X7XB1...

Don't call it a comeback, because it's not. It's just us doing/ruining someone else's show rather than our own. Like pop music? You might like this. Then again, you probably won't. Friday 5th June. 6pm.

We were there the first time it was played live (roughly 1996) and we are here now to tell you that this is *still* an incredible piece of production with an anthemic chorus which will blow your ears off at roughly 3000 miles an hour. Bravo.

We literally cannot describe in words - and although you'll never believe us, we are kinda qualified - how much of a musical and emotional riot this gig - nay, experience - will be. We implore you to go along yourself, as there will be nothing else like it ever again. (Unless there is another one.)

News: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar doesn't think OpenAI is ready to go public, nor that its revenue growth will support commitments. OpenAI's already-unprofitable margins have also got worse thanks to having to buy last-minute compute due to unanticipated demand. www.wheresyoured.at/openai-cfo-n...
Executive Summary:
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has, per The Information, said that OpenAI is not ready to go public in 2026, in part because of the "risks from its spending commitments" and not being sure whether the company's revenue growth would support its spending commitments.
Friar (CFO) no longer reports to Sam Altman (CEO) and hasn't done so since August 2025.
OpenAI's margins were lower in 2025 "...due to the company having to buy more expensive compute at the last minute."
