My /Tuesday Ten series began in March 2007, initially as an attempt to round up the best tracks of each month for my friends, but swiftly gained a life of its own. This post is to provide a list of all of the /Tuesday Ten entries so far, with links to each. A database of […]

It’s been a bit longer than planned since the last livestream.
Back from a busy Bank Holiday weekend, and it turns out, a busy April for new music.
Another Bandcamp Friday, another overflowing inbox… This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up […]
The natural follow-on to last week is to look at being right, as I hurtle towards /Tuesday Ten /600.
I was last at Resistanz in 2014, ending three straight years of attending the festival, with various other life commitments (and Whitby, more often than not) meaning it hadn’t been possible for us to return for some time. But, when certain bands got announced this year, a plan was quickly hatched, and we found ourselves […]
I’m back from Resistanz Festival – the review for that will follow at some point in the next week – and we’re back to the regular /Tuesday Ten posts. Needless to say, this was written in advance last week, as I knew full well I wouldn’t have time over the weekend.
It is Holy Week in the Christian calendar (the week prior to Easter), but as well it’s also – unusually – Orthodox Easter on the same Sunday as Catholic Easter, Passover began on Sunday just past, and Eid Al Fitr fell at the turn of March into April. So, this week I’m looking at religion […]
A quick release-roundup before I head to Resistanz Festival next weekend. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music […]
I’m continuing my current policy of using up as many older suggestion threads as possible: I’ve asked for songs on lots of subjects over the years (over 200 suggestion threads, in fact), and still have quite a number to use up.
Eighteen years of /Tuesday Tens. My posts could legally drink if they wanted to. The very first one was on 27-Mar 2007, and the world was a very different place back then. Indeed Tony Blair was still Prime Minister, and it should be added that as I write this, we are on the seventh PM […]
A bit more time this month has allowed a more regular posting schedule. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me […]
After what has felt like a long, wet and cold winter down here on the coast, Spring has finally begun fighting it’s way in, and as I write this, it’s a sunny and mild morning, and another sure sign Spring is here is that my hayfever has returned with a vengeance.
A new tranche of releases coming your way, or that have come out in the past couple of weeks. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get on with it. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website […]
I don’t know why, but I’ve not really had the desire to interview artists particularly in recent times – with the exception of my new series /The Last Song I’ll Ever Sing, which I’ll be resuming again soon. But hearing about the new album from grabyourface got me ready to ask questions again.
Tomorrow, my wife and I reach a significant milestone: our twentieth anniversary of being together, and our ninth wedding anniversary. We’ve lived together in Sheffield, London and now Hythe, Kent, we’ve been through ups and downs, we’ve travelled across much of Europe and America, and had a lot of fun along the way.
As is traditional, January felt like it took all year, February felt like a couple of days.
For the first time in a few years, 24/2 worked out to be a night where I could livestream.
Things are a bit fucking crazy in the world right now, as the repercussions from the political events in the US begin to ripple across the world.
Two months in, and there’s already a lot of new music to enjoy and look forward to in 2025. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. […]
We are edging towards the end of what has felt like much colder winter than the past few years. Not that we see snow on the Kent coast – our winters here are wet and windy, almost constantly. But I grew up further north, on the fringes of the Pennines, where winters hit hard.
