A quick release-roundup before I head to Resistanz Festival next weekend. 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 music […]
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.
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 […]
A bit more time this month has allowed a more regular posting schedule. 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.

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.
A new tranche of releases coming your way, or that have come out in the past couple of weeks. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get on with it. 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 […]
I don’t know why, but I’ve not really had the desire to interview artists particularly in recent times – with the exception of my new series /The Last Song I’ll Ever Sing, which I’ll be resuming again soon. But hearing about the new album from grabyourface got me ready to ask questions again.
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.
As is traditional, January felt like it took all year, February felt like a couple of days.
For the first time in a few years, 24/2 worked out to be a night where I could livestream.
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.
Two months in, and there’s already a lot of new music to enjoy and look forward to in 2025. 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. […]
We are edging towards the end of what has felt like much colder winter than the past few years. Not that we see snow on the Kent coast – our winters here are wet and windy, almost constantly. But I grew up further north, on the fringes of the Pennines, where winters hit hard.
Around Valentine’s Day, I’ve occasionally looked at vaguely relevant (or downright inappropriate!) themes for /Tuesday Tens in the eighteen years since the series began, and this year is no different.
Another landmark birthday for a friend, and they asked me to DJ, alongside Mortasha Kinski and DemonDaz.
The first show of 2025, as continue with my livestream.
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.
When I was ten or eleven, at the end of the 1980s, we got satellite TV. Partly this was to allow my father, raised in part in Germany on a British Armed Forces base and a fluent German speaker, to watch German channels (and most importantly his beloved Borussia Dortmund). But it also had a […]
The first regular release roundup of 2025, as the normal release schedules begin to crank into gear, and after a bit of a false start and a busy January, I too am beginning to get things together on here too. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a […]
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.
