/Tuesday Ten /572 /Ooh Stick You!
The final /Tuesday Ten of 2024 is a subject that turned out to have a lot of legs. Insults.
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 /571 /Tracks of the Month /Oct 2024
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.
/Tuesday Ten /570 /The International Language of Screaming
A scream has a great many potential meanings. It could be an exclamation of triumph, of joy, of ecstasy, of pain, of fear, of shock. It is, however, usually loud and is frequently used or described in music.
/Tuesday Ten /569 /A Change Would Do You Good
Everything has changed in recent years. Many of us have moved from where we were (particularly those of us in London), our outlook on life might have changed, friends have got married, others having children, others still making other drastic changes to their lives.
/Tuesday Ten /568 /Get Better
It was back in July that I wrote /Tuesday Ten /562, intended as a pair of posts that were the opposite of each other.
/Tuesday Ten /567 /Tracks of the Month /Sep 2024
First of the month, /Tracks of the Month time.
/Tuesday Ten /566 /Midlife Crisis
I turned forty-six last month, so I’m likely now in the right place for a midlife crisis.
/Tuesday Ten /565 /Tracks of the Month /Aug 2024
Back on the normal, first Tuesday of the month schedule for /Tracks of the Month.
/Tuesday Ten /564 /To Hell With Good Intentions
It’s the impending Bank Holiday Weekend, which means only one thing for us: it’s Infest this weekend in Bradford. /amodelofcontrol.com will be reporting back, of course, with the usual full coverage and photos after the event. If you’re there, come say hi.
/Tuesday Ten /563 /Tracks of the Month /July 2024
Another late /Tracks post this month: sorry about that. Hopefully will be returning to the normal first Tuesday of the month in September.
/Tuesday Ten /562 /Everything’s Not Awesome
Maybe I put this one off after asking for suggestions in January because it wasn’t the right time. Maybe, I just knew that there would be a time and a place for it.
/Tuesday Ten /561 /Bicycle Race
It’s that time of the year when cycling comes to the forefront of the sporting world. As I post this, we begin today the third and final week of the Tour de France, and for the first time ever – since it began in 1903 – it won’t finish this coming Sunday on the Champs-Élysées […]
/Tuesday Ten /560 /Tracks of the Month /June 2024
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.
/Tuesday Ten /559 /I Want to Break Free – Pride Month
On 28 June 1969, the Stonewall Riots began, a gay liberation protest after the police raided the titular inn. They began the ball rolling for LGBTQIA+ people to become more visible, and to fight for their rights – and the following year, the first Pride marches in the US began.
/Tuesday Ten /558 /Tracks of the Month /May 2024
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.
/Tuesday Ten /557 /..and Justice for All
Fighting injustice, and fighting for justice, have been documented in song probably as long as people have sung songs. They are a way for the oppressed to tell their story, and spread the word of what happened – and in many cases, to set the record straight.
/Tuesday Ten /556 /Bulldozer – Steve Albini songs
Last week, one of the bastions of Alternative Rock died. If you don’t know who Steve Albini was, you’ve certainly heard a song he was involved in. He was in bands since the early eighties, and recorded/produced/engineered hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of records (his Discogs page shows over 1,400 releases credited to him in […]
/Tuesday Ten /555 /Repeating Myself
Just over three years since I last did this – and six years since the first time – I’ve delved back into the seemingly infinite well of songs about or involving repetition for a third go at it.
/Tuesday Ten /554 /Tracks of the Month /Apr 2024
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.
/Tuesday Ten /553 /The Road
This week, I’m digging back into a suggestion thread that was posted almost exactly four years ago, and I’d not used until now.
