/Tuesday Ten /657 /Breath of Ghosts
It’s Hallowe’en this weekend, so obviously, there’s a spooky tone to this week’s /Tuesday Ten.

/Tuesday Ten /656 /City Sickness
I left London – for the second time, of which more anon – over five years ago, having now made my home on the Kent Coast with my wife. We didn’t leave because we hated the city particularly, it was more a case of realism around what we would be able to afford in the […]
/Welcome to the Future /312 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 16-Oct 2026
The latest roundup of new releases as we move headlong into autumn. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /655 /Up the Beach
Back in the heat of summer, in early August, I asked about this subject. And while I plan upcoming /Tuesday Tens some months ahead nowadays, even I couldn’t have expected summer to effectively last into October.
/Tuesday Ten /654 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-26
I neglected to mention it last week, but the sudden death of Bruno Kramm of Das Ich after a gig in Spain was really quite shocking. Das Ich weren’t by any stretch a gateway band for me, although I did own a few records and had seen them live once, and they were a fascinating, […]
/DJ /Guest /109 /Bruise Violet
For what will likely be one of my last in-person DJ sets, it was a pleasure to return to Bruise Violet for another set.
/Tuesday Ten /653 /Don’t Argue
By chance, today marks thirty years to the day since I started my side-line (it was never a career!) in writing about music. On 29-Sep 1996, I was on the guestlist for downset. at the LA2 in London, my first assignment on the music section of ROAR, the King’s College London student newspaper. I’d signed […]
/Tuesday Ten /652 /Do It
Another pair of related posts coming up to finish off September. Do, or don’t? Become a member! /amodelofcontrol.com now has a Patreon page, at this stage purely as a potential way of helping to cover the running costs of the site. There is absolutely no compulsion to do so: if you feel you can chuck […]

/Tuesday Ten /651 /No-One Else To Blame
I’ve often found further inspiration for posts in this series by looking at the flipside of a subject that I ask about, and this week is one of those. After all, if I ask about blame, why not ask about responsibility too?
/Tuesday Ten /650 /Blame, etc.
These days, it seems impossible to read a story in the news where there isn’t blame placed somewhere else – and it happens when people get caught out online, too.
/Tuesday Ten /649 /Tracks of the Month /Aug-26
Back to regular programming, then, now that this year’s Infest coverage is done and dusted.
/Memory of a Festival /043 /Infest 2026
According to my records, including this year, I’ve seen 372 live sets at Infest since 2000 (not including the two online Infests in 2020 and 2021), with 342 of those unique artists. That’s a lot to cover as a writer and regular reviewer of the festival: I’ve reviewed every in-person festival from 2005 onwards (2005-2008, […]

/Tuesday Ten /648 /Memory of a Festival
This weekend, I will attend Infest for the twenty-sixth time (the twenty-fourth time in person, as well as two virtually). I’ve not missed an Infest since I began attending in 2000, and after writing about nineteen of them, the twentieth Infest that I’ll cover on /amodelofcontrol.com will be my last. I’ll still be attending Infest […]
/Tuesday Ten /647 /Party Hard
I got that bit closer to fifty over the weekend, as I turned forty-eight. It was a relatively low-key birthday this year, which rather suited me fine: but in past years, there have been some pretty epic parties to celebrate.
/Tuesday Ten /646 /Tracks of the Month /Jul-26
High summer is always a bit of a weird one for new releases: it’s the silly season while bands are playing festivals and travelling vast distances to do so, so new songs take the back burner a bit. But maybe it’s just me, but it seems the quietest it has been for new music in […]

/Tuesday Ten /645 /Clearest Blue
I conclude this run of posts on three colours with, of course, blue.
/Tuesday Ten /644 /The White Room
Following on from Red last week, we now move onto White.
