/Tuesday Ten /612 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-25
The last /Tracks of the Month of the year has come around quickly – from the beginning of December, of course, I’ll be posting /Countdown /2025 over four weeks as I look at the best music of the year.
The best tracks of the past month.

Blimey, 2025 is flashing by. I’m now just two months out from /Countdown /2025 beginning (the best music of the year on /amodelofcontrol.com), and so I’m now seriously considering what the best of the year actually is.
September has arrived down here on the coast with a lot of rain, and intermittent sunshine: and with my hop plants due to harvest in the coming week or two, it definitely feels like autumn is here. Autumn also means the usual deluge of new releases, so this week’s /Tracks of the Month has expanded […]
This month, I’m covering the best tracks of the month a week earlier than usual – mainly because I already had plans for /Tuesday Ten /599 and /600 that fit neatly in the next couple of weeks. That said, I already had enough tracks by this time last week, never mind this week, so there […]
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 […]
Another month, another set of /Tracks of the Month.
Back from a busy Bank Holiday weekend, and it turns out, a busy April for new music.
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 […]
As is traditional, January felt like it took all year, February felt like a couple of days.
What with work being busy, and my trip for the final 242 shows last week, most writing plans for January got tossed out of the window or deferred.
2025 sees /amodelofcontrol.com enter 21 years active, and this coming summer, I will mark thirty years since the first gig that I attended. Life has been busy of late, and a slightly longer Christmas break from writing was much-needed.
The last /Tracks of the Month of 2024 brings various new songs and a bit of a catch-up from the past couple of months, to ensure I’ve covered as much as possible before /Countdown begins the end of year roundup in December.
First of the month, /Tracks of the Month time.
Back on the normal, first Tuesday of the month schedule for /Tracks of the Month.
Another late /Tracks post this month: sorry about that. Hopefully will be returning to the normal first Tuesday of the month in September.
It’s been a busy, and sometimes chaotic past month, hence why this month’s /Tracks of the Month post is a week later than usual.
It’s been another busy old month, with a lot to do, a lot of music to catch up on, and in the end having to hold over a few songs as I simply ran out of time to write about any more.
For those bemoaning that “there’s no good new music”, you’re wrong. There’s been an absolute torrent of new music lately, so much that I can barely keep up, and as we close off the first third of the year, there’s already been a few album of the year contenders too.
With the end of March and the clocks going forward, we inch into April, hopefully some better weather, and the onset of Spring.
2024 has started quickly with a whole host of release announcements, new songs and a variety of surprising tours coming up: so unsurprisingly, I’ve got a lot of tracks to cover with twenty featured (again) this month.
