I’m getting the bottles back together !
After a 2 year lay off during which time the bottles and I have been a little down in the dumps and worried that we may have missed our wave, we’ve all decided that now is the right time for a comeback. Back when we last appeared I had a whole set of prospective tunes for the bottles to get excited about and frankly we’ve all been itching to get stuck into them. 2 years is a long time to itch ! We’ve got a few new members and in a break between assigning notes and remembering whether more water makes a higher or lower note (more water = deeper) I filmed this as something of an amuse bouche for your eyes and ears. Very exciting times !
As it’s no longer cold outside and I’m no longer under constant demand to do far less boring things, it’s time to get the bottles back together. Here we all ...
Delayed promotional heads up due to last minute confusion at HSpark Radio HQ - I'm on hspark.co.uk NOW !

Winning Reels for 2024 for me ! Neil Freeman
Well done Ron !
Meanwhile, Ron has some news to share: “After 10 attempts at reading and completing James Joyce’s magnificent ‘Ulysses’ and only making it to page 10 each time, on attempt number 11, I finally did it! Hallelujah! ‘Ulysses’ should be a real inspiration to anyone interested in breaking the rules in any art form.” 📚
MORNING WORLD ! Vis the Spoon's Sunday Warship is live on hspark.co.uk !
Anyone know any investigative journalist types who might be looking for something sordid to get their teeth into ? This isn't the place for me to go into detail, but it's pretty weird, and a little scary... PM me any contacts I could try, or by all means pass my contact info in their direction.
"Vice Squad are considered one of the most influential punk rock bands of all time". Discuss.
Her I come ! Wo diddley diddley woi oi !
Sunday Warship live from my armchair any second now ! hspark.co.uk
If you’re just walking away from your wireless thinking what an amazing show we just threw together, you’ll be amazed to find out that it was actually a repeat, due to transportation issues this evening keeping the workman from his tools. Obviously this information would normally be shared before the scheduled event, but don’t get me started on mother fu***ng normal tonight, thank you 😮
Woi oi diddly diddly woi ! Sunday Warship - starting right now on hspark.co.uk
For anyone struggling, yet unaware of the current situation, the sun is well and truly past the yard arm. I’m sure most of you have been aware of this for a few hours now, it being Friday, but there’s always someone who whinges “why didn’t you tell me ?” so I felt it best to be inclusive.
on now, playing Helloween to open ! hspark.co.uk
Obviously when you hear the words Bonded in Blood, as you do most days, at the supermarket checkout, or while you wheel a wheelbarrow of garden waste round to the communal compost bin, or just as u evesdrop on the random mutterings of bored drivers in traffic jams (the ones with their windows rolled down) these are the only 2 things that come to mind, but more importantly, if you HAD to be one of these 5 men, which one would it be ? For me it's the guy with the beard and the shades, everytime. It's a tough call, but I think the guy with the leather waistcoat would be my last option, not because he's ginger (I'm guessing) but because only a dick wears a leather waistcoat in a situation like this. Or so I'm told.
and no me neither, I'd always ignored them because I assumed they were an album by Bob Marley.
Woi oi diddly woi ! i'm here, we're on, good luck everyone !
Sunday Warship from 10pm - midday on hspark.co.uk, with me, !
Tuesday | 19:00 - 22:00 |

After a month off, R’Adhd Squid returns to the neurodiverse webwaves with a cracking bunch of alternative / unusual / obscure / cerebrally equilibriating tunes filtered through 2 whole months’ sonic exploration - and a slops bucket full of random cod-philosophical existential babble, filtered thru a fog of missed sleep & 7% ales. The only radio show that isn’t like any other radio show. Don’t miss your dose: Tues 3rd Oct (#tonight !) 7.30 - 10.30pm on hspark.co.uk
Here’s an overlong promo vid for tonight’s show. All the info u need is in it, just remember 730pm #TONIGHT hspark.co.uk @hsparkradio
Radio Squid - great alt/obscure/underground tunes (and others) and bewildered/bewildering babble from me & Black Haddock. All round top quality radio madness from 730-1030pm #TONIGHT on hspark.co.uk Keep in touch while we're on air via Twitter - @spoonradiosquid & WhatsApp - tinyurl.com/spoonchat
3 hours of erratic frenetic babble and great alternative tunes THIS TUESDAY!
Radio Squid is back again this #Tuesday 20th December. No #Xmas tunes are planned, but then again, very little is planned. #Sh*t still happens. Tune in to hspark.co.uk from 7pm (til 10pm) for relentless psychobabble and tunes from Sleaford Mods, The Entrance Band, Public Practice, Psychic Ills, #cluster #eno #loop SOUNDHEADS - The Official LOOP Fan Page! #scientists The Limiñanas and many more. 7pm. hspark.co.uk - us, you, a few tinnies, and possibly a sandwich.
Not quite the "one per week" I threatened, but here's a brand new Squid Nugget, during which Haddock & I debate the evolution of cutlery. It accompanies & celebrates the upload, finally, of yet another archive show, although unfortunately this time the nugget has absolutely sod all to do with the show it promotes. But to my mind, that's more psycho-babble for your buck, so quit whining. The latest show to get the "listen whenever you can be arsed" treatment features an interview with (and several tracks from) Get The F Outta Dodge plus bangers from The Danse Society Official, zounds, Crispy Ambulance, Hawkwind, Sparks, The Skids, FEWS, Raffaella Carrà, Fuzz People Under The Stairs, Public Image Ltd. (This is PiL), Lee Scratch Perry (official) & more... https://www.mixcloud.com/spoonradiosquid/squid19/ Vis The Spoon
Ahoy there Krill ! While all may seem quiet over here at Radio Squid, behind the scenes we've been working hard to plough through the backlog of broadcasts that still haven't made it to Mixcloud. And we're getting there. Hopefully, between now & the return of live broadcasts in Jan 2022, we'll be releasing one back issue each week, accompanied by a gloriously edifying Squid Nugget, ideally, as this one is, snipped from the very show it's promoting. So, for now, imagine we're still in the throes of a Covid Lockdown, live music is still a non-thing, and indulge yourselves in April 15th's Radio Squid, in which, amongst tunes by The HU The Exorcist GBG iLiKETRAiNS Glaxo Babies We Faith SNIDE Voodoo rays Dry Cleaning Heavy Metal Kids (and many more too cool to be on Facebook) you'll find us banging heads on many topics, such as Bran Flakes, and the insidious poison that is sugar... https://www.mixcloud.com/spoonradiosquid/squid17/
On my birthday I posted a video, of my rendition of this - it was a little sketchy, due, no doubt, in no small part, to the late hour of the day and the earliness that day of my first pint. Also, the proximity of the microphone left many notes to the imagination, or the listener's prior knowledge. So I've redone it, less drunk, with the microphone & camera much closer.
From April 2021, an almost impromptu Bottle rendition of "Boredom" by Buzzcocks. #punkrock #buzzcocks #boredom #bottles #diggle #shelley #devoto #magazine #spiral #scratch #spiralscratch #punk #guitarsolo

Oi ! we're live on hspark.co.uk right now ! Join us or forever feel guilty about us being lonely on a Thursday night....
More Radio Anarchy ce soir, mes petites pains - join us for fun, games and musical/babble knitting, of the most alternative kind. Please share with anyone you think my need some audio medication. https://www.facebook.com/events/857536301507027
