How much do you love Commodore 64?  Even if you’re kissing one, right now, you still don’t love it as much as the champions of bleep at Slay Radio.  If you are kissing one right now – just make sure it’s not plugged in, mmmkay?

Slay Radio plays almost exclusively Commodore 64 generated music – ranging from blipped out squelch anthems to ‘string’-sodden epics, with a few MOR rock guitar noodle-outs thrown in for good measure.

DJs include stationmaster Slaygon – a member of the Commodore 64 scene since the late 80s (yes, there’s a Commodore 64 scene. Do keep up). Gothenburg-based Slaygon’s DJ style is pretty loose – after warning us to “please make sure no wives, women or children are listening to the show because it will be rude”, he wanders off to get a beer, then leaves his mic on through the next track. We like that.  Also look out for ‘the BBB – Boz’ shows – he’s the droll British dude on the station. Download his request show and check out the gamer shenanigins. Contains loads of swearing. Loads. Tell your wife…

We mean that in a nice way, obviously.

We’ve managed to find a podcast that contains a man with pig flu talking – from a safe distance,  mark you – about Terminator 3. Why? Because they’re talking about Nerd Hurdles – y’know – stuff that nerds have trouble getting over – like Buffy being brought back to life, or all the snogging in Torchwood. Except – get this – they can’t call it nerd hurdles, coz there’s already a podcast called that so they’re calling it ‘herd nurdles’.

It’s funnier than that sounds, Brownies’ honour.

There’s also a letter to a porn star read out in the guise of a  folderoldy folk song. And poo jokes.  Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we bring you The Box Room…
