    nice puzzle! i guessed it based on the title and prompt but went back to find the intended mechanism... "crystal radio" is new to me and i didn't know that an option button is called a "radio button" so loved learning that... i'm a creep... i'm a weirdooooooo...
    • rjy 2s · 2023-10-22T14:52:18.049Z
      A quick word association from the title took me to a pretty solid click for the answer - turned out correct! so on to backsolving… (wish I had better self-discipline than to submit the answer without showing my work!)
      • Larry Edelstein 🤓3:13 · 2023-10-23T00:22:27.258Z
        Ditto to the how
      • JM 🤓8:57 · 2023-10-22T14:34:34.198Z
        48A! My theme song
        • FrankieHeck 🤓7:18 · 2023-10-22T14:53:41.030Z
          Smooth grid and fun meta! Thanks!
          • Mwoychick 🤓10:06 · 2023-10-22T15:12:26.106Z
            Thanks for the puzzle!
            • KayW 🤓5:29 · 2023-10-22T15:25:16.095Z
              Woo hoo!!! This geezer got a new-fangled band name without interwebbing (and yes, 80's is "new-fangled" to some of us). Thanks for a perfect Sunday morning meta.
              • Hector 🤓7:05 · 2023-10-22T15:16:58.455Z
                Great band and fun start to a Sunday. Thank you!
                • SamKat9 🤓7:12 · 2023-10-22T15:16:26.911Z
                  I enjoyed this puzzle! And I was a big fan of Radiohead as a teenager ;)
                  • Tyrpmom 1s · 2023-10-22T15:09:39.894Z
                    Perfect SSS. Thanks.
                    • Carolyn 2s · 2023-10-22T16:08:57.524Z
                      Nice!
                      • ajk 🤓6:12 · 2023-10-22T16:40:37.854Z
                        needed the third nudge, even though I'd noticed CRYSTAL and HAM radios already, so really shouldn't have needed it. :D Loved the 27A clue 😂 Fun stuff, thanks
                        • Darth 11:22 · 2023-10-22T16:59:04.300Z
                          Nice.... I found an Easter egg, too. (I might need to look again in case there were more hidden in there.) Thanks.
                          • MatthewL 🤓6:35 · 2023-10-22T16:57:11.049Z
                            Nice one! Solid cluing and grid and fun meta. Especially liked the clue for 11D. Gave me a chuckle. Thanks for the puzzle!
                            • michaelm 🤓12:45 · 2023-10-22T18:09:07.564Z
                              Thanks for the SSS, Pair! Needed visit to nudge city. Is Button Mashing safer than Mutton Bashing? And a CREEPy Halloween Easter Egg?
                              • DrTom 3s · 2023-10-22T18:32:01.280Z
                                Well I was all over with this one. HEAD start, well LOGIC - use your head, BLEED - head bleed (sorry, professional hazard), USE - goes with LOGIC, NEURON - in your head. Looked for letters under or over H (Head start), ditto C (cranium start). Finally thought about bands from the 80's in Britain and RADIO (on air) HEAD - (HEAD start) seemed a natural. So I got it right then looked for the way to do it right. If it had been the 70's I'd have gone with Wings or Flock of Seagulls. Thanks for the Sunday 1A!!
                                • Laura M 🤓8:18 · 2023-10-22T19:19:52.960Z
                                  Nice puzzle, thanks! I'm not a huge fan (the only song I know is 48A) but still it's a well-enough-known band name that it came to mind immediately.
                                  • Jeremy Smith 3s · 2023-10-22T19:39:36.921Z
                                    Fun one! The duck picture with the straight key is hilarious. As ham radio operator of 47 years, I don't recall ever having a CW QSO with a duck before.
                                    • whimsy 🤓11:04 · 2023-10-23T04:09:27.050Z
                                      Echoing KayW -- and thinking that playing Connections helped me with this one. Kinda old for the band (and was rather busy with a newborn in '85, which was the year they formed as I found out when google-confirming.) But was able to come up with the name as soon as I realized radio. Thanks for this fun puzzle that I could solve, Pair O'!

                                        Loved it...as an OLD RF guy...the minute I saw "On Air", "Crystal" and "Ham"...knew it..... Thanks for the great meta/puzzle.
                                        • Capn Rick 🤓8:25 · 2023-10-23T15:04:30.956Z
                                          Nice one, Schmidzy! Hit me right in my music wheelhouse.

                                            Ooh! Very nice!

                                              1. Just getting to this today, and it took a minute (and a second look a the title) because 27A was new to me.
                                              2. Sondheim praised them. He said their music was harmonically iinteresting, far more so that most of the rock/pop out there.
                                              3. For years, I've been wanting to make a joke using "Kaypro computer," but I've never been able to get it right, and besides most people are either to old to get the OK part or too young to get the Kaypro part.

                                                After the first two nudges (which just repeated what I'd already figured out), my brain clicked into gear and I realized that it probably wasn't a coincidence that each of these four first words could be combined with "radio" to form two-word phrases. I decided to google for "80s british bands radio" - and that did it. Nice Sunday puzzle.
                                                • Qmark 3s · 2023-10-25T17:07:37.686Z
