/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /026 /Goes to the Movies /21-Mar 2023
A bit later than I’d originally planned, and this was a livestream with a difference.
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /024 /The Second Indie Disco – 27-Dec 2022
It’s that downtime between Christmas and New Year, we didn’t have a lot else to do, so why not Livestream?
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /023 /29-Nov 2022
Not quite the last one of the year, as it happens.
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /021 – 13-Sep 2022
A quiet week, most entertainment on TV deferred? Time for another livestream.
/DJ/TheKindaMzkYouLike /017 – 01-Feb 2022
A tentative return to regular livestreams – and I should add now that there is no intention to return to livestreaming as much as seven or eight times per month. But the return of /TheKindaMzkYouLike was rather the obvious choice.
/Tuesday Ten/468/3 Feet High and Rising
Back on my current series this week, as I move onto three-letter song titles. This was where things got easier.
/Tuesday Ten/451/Last Stop: This Town
In a decision that perhaps would have surprised me a few years ago, never mind my wife, later this week we move out of London, our home for more than the past decade, for a new life by the coast. I’ve spent over a quarter of my life in this one flat in Finsbury Park, […]
/Tuesday Ten/440/Lulled By Numbers
After a few weeks of resuming lockdown-related /Tuesday Ten posts, I thought this week a diversion into something a little more frivolous might be needed. So I’m returning to an occasional subject of numbers.
/Tuesday Ten/383/Boys Boys Boys/Given Names/Masculine
Given names pop up an awful lot in popular music. They provide subjects of songs, refer to current or past loves, refer to normal or famous people, or have another use entirely – in Slint’s case, their debut album Tweez has song-titles of various family members of the band – oh, and a dog – […]
/Tuesday Ten/365/The Experience of Swimming
When I was younger, I hated swimming. I didn’t learn until I was nine or ten, and being a late starter to it was no fun during school lessons. It took until I started heading on holiday with my now wife that I really resumed swimming since my school days, and my increased fitness at […]
/Tuesday Ten/358/Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
I’m British, so of course, I say sorry. Buzzfeed came up with 65 ways Brits say sorry, there are endless jokes about it, but the reality is, I and many others say sorry far more than we need to.
/Countdown/2017 /Compilations and Re-issues
Welcome to the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2017, which begins this week. Over this and the next three Tuesdays, I’ll be rounding up the best music of the year in various categories. In coming weeks there will be the best tracks, the best albums, and the best gigs.
/Tuesday Ten/300/Bring The Noise
Welcome to Tuesday Ten 300, and this week I’m talking about songs that are about music. I’ve spent just over ten years on this series – with more frequent posting at some points than others – with the core posts being monthly run-downs of the best new music within the realms of my interests. This […]
/Tuesday Ten/277/Here Comes The Flood (Environmental Songs)
This Friday, what was potentially unthinkable (and very unlikely indeed) a year ago will happen – Donald Trump gets inaugurated as 45th President of the United States of America.
/Tuesday Ten/249/Communication Breakdown (Telephones and Music)
Yesterday marked fifteen years since I began my career working in Mobile Telecoms. Back in February 2001, things were very different in my life. I was recovering from a nasty accident (I shattered my ankle after being hit by a car late in 2000), on crutches, and hobbled into a new job with what was […]
Tuesday Ten: 228: Fake Bands In Film and TV
It’s a rather different Tuesday Ten this week. In honour of the twentieth anniversary of the still-brilliant Empire Records – and that it’s Rex Manning Day tomorrow (08-April), the day the film is set on – I’m looking at bands that don’t exist. Or, at least, were made up for each film in question…
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /20-01
I actually started this 80s rundown a couple of years back, but life and other things have rather got in the way. So, a little bit of spare time has allowed me to get this finished. Without further ado, then, let’s get on with it.
/Countdown/2013 /Compilations and reissues
I have something of a love-hate relationship with the whole idea of reissues and compilations. Some are truly worthwhile – reminding listeners of bands that they may have otherwise missed, or introducing them to something wholly new. Others, however, reek of shameless cash-in. I’ve ignored the latter here, and gone for those that were released […]
/Tuesday Ten/178/The Bucket List
During my recent Depeche Mode live review, I noted that they were one of those bands that I’d been waiting a long, long time to see, and indeed, over the past few years, I’ve made considerable inroads into a long list of similar bands. Particular shows of note included Laibach at the Tate Modern last […]
