It’s fair to say that since I first started going to Whitby in 2004, things have changed. The people running gigs at the Spa have changed (twice, now), the people […]
The latest fortnightly update. 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 […]
Back from Whitby, and while I saw a handful of bands (more about those later in the week), today it’s back to the best tracks of the past month.
A quick, later post than usual this week. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both […]
Whitby and Hallowe’en around the corner, so time for another Livestream.
We’re nearing the end of October, and thus in the week of Devil’s Night and All Hallow’s Eve – or Hallowe’en, of course. So I thought I’d dig into my […]
I’ve kinda settled now on bi-weekly posts for this, and it’s unlikely time will allow for much more, so that’s how it will be. This post is a roundup of […]
Fancy a brew? The nights are drawing in, it’s getting cooler, and thus hot drinks become the desired thing for many on more occasions. That said, I drink tea regardless […]
Back to regular /Tuesday Ten postings, then, and this week I’ve moved on to something of an emotional subject: to care or not to care.

Back into the writing saddle, then, as I wrap up the best music of the past month. The write-up of Cold Waves X from Chicago will follow in the next […]
By the time you likely read this, I’ll be in the air to Chicago, on my first flights since literally just before the pandemic fully bit hard.
Quickly into mid-September already, and /amodelofcontrol.com will be away in Chicago next week, covering Cold Waves X (expect the usual report and photos, and potentially some content on FB/Instagram along […]
A quiet week, most entertainment on TV deferred? Time for another livestream.
As we edge into September, we’re looking this week at the last tracks from what has been a long, hot summer.
Infest has passed in the inevitable flash, and now we’re already into September, the usual busy Autumn release schedule is looming fast. This post is a roundup of (relevant to […]
One of the obvious casualties of COVID since early 2020 was live music, both in the form of gigs, and festivals. For many, both 2020 and 2021 were almost entirely […]
With Infest coming this weekend, I dusted down the virtual decks and did an Infest preview set, that stretched out to nearly three-and-a-half hours.
