/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.
Category: /Tuesday Ten
Now ten years old and counting, my regular series of Tuesday posts takes in new music and sometimes rather random categories.
/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.
/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 […]
/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 […]
/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.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/Tuesday Ten /583 /In The Name of the Father
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /582 /Get A Real Tattoo
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.
/Tuesday Ten /581 /Tracks of the Month /Mar-25
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /580 /Into the Trees
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.
/Tuesday Ten /579 /Precious Things
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.
/Tuesday Ten /578 /Tracks of the Month /Feb-25
As is traditional, January felt like it took all year, February felt like a couple of days.
/Tuesday Ten /577 /Can I Play With Madness
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.
