/Tuesday Ten /596 /Under the Sea
Following on from Insects last week, I turn my attention to another part of animal kingdom this time around, and use up another older suggestion thread (from five years ago) in the process.

/Tuesday Ten /595 /Insect Nation
Some local friends of ours – who work at a local zoological park – also do wildlife education and outreach work as TOP Conservation, including monthly talks in Hythe at a bar we really like. Last month the talk was about insects, and a fascinating talk it was too.
/Welcome to the Future /291 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 04-Jul 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced, with a bit of a slowdown as we head into the summer lull. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /594 /Tracks of the Month /Jun-25
It’s been a funny time in music and entertainment recently, with hysteria around political pronouncements at major events by bands that we’d expect to do so (and thus providing a distraction from the horrors of Gaza in particular), as well as the anti-Trans bullshit that is still being peddled, and a general feeling that it […]
/Tuesday Ten /593 /Do Do Do
As is often the way, small plans become bigger things, and this mini-series of posts about non-lexical vocables and exclamations in music turned out to be a fun trip into a bunch of songs I either didn’t know, or had not heard in some time. The original suggestion threads provided nearly 600 songs to choose […]
/Patreon – Support /amodelofcontrol.com
You can now support /amodelofcontrol.com on Patreon. I’m certainly not asking for a lot – I’ve never taken advertising for this site, and nor do I ever intend to. This is purely to assist in covering the ever-increasing costs of my site. If you choose to support, thank you. Otherwise, this site will always be […]
/Tuesday Ten /592 /Something Kinda Ooooh
Continuing this mini-series, here we are with part five: where we go “Ooh!”. This was an interesting one, with a bunch of what might be called novelty songs rubbing shoulders with bigger pop hits: so I went for both. This mini-series will conclude next week with “do do do”. Thanks, as ever, to everyone that […]
/Welcome To The Future /290 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 13-Jun 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced, with another glut of new releases in the past couple of weeks in particular. There have also been a number of notable deaths in music this week alone: first Sly Stone, the legendary funk/soul band pioneer, then Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys… and […]
/Tuesday Ten /591 /La La La
I’ve had a lot of fun with this mini-series of posts of exclamations and wordless vocals – the suggestions and the types of songs that use them have perhaps resulted in some of the most eclectic /Tuesday Ten posts I’ve ever done.
/Tuesday Ten /590 /Tracks of the Month /May-25
Another month, another set of /Tracks of the Month.
/Tuesday Ten /589 /Woo!
Right then: part three of exclamations, and we’re onto “Woo!” this week.
/Welcome to the Future /289 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-May 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /588 /Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
I now turn to the second of what will be six posts about exclamations or fill-ins in songs. After “Hey!” last week, this week we’re going “Na Na Na”.
/Tuesday Ten /587 /Hey!
This week, I start the first of three /Tuesday Ten posts on a similar subject. Well, more about exclamations.
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /037 – 06-May 2025
It’s been a bit longer than planned since the last livestream.
/Tuesday Ten /586 /Tracks of the Month /Apr-25
Back from a busy Bank Holiday weekend, and it turns out, a busy April for new music.
/Welcome to the Future /288 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 02-May 2025
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /585 /Everything In It’s Right Place
The natural follow-on to last week is to look at being right, as I hurtle towards /Tuesday Ten /600.
/Memory of a Festival /041 /Resistanz 2025
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /584 /Everything We Know Is Wrong
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.
