/Tuesday Ten /511 /11 Miles an Hour
Fifty-nine years ago today, US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, Dallas. Generally seen as a pivotal moment in the second half of the twentieth century, certainly […]
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 /510 /Climb Ev’ry Mountain
For much of my life, I’ve lived in the hillier areas of this country. From my early years in the surprisingly hilly Medway Towns, to the West and South Yorkshire […]
/Tuesday Ten /509 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-22
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.
/Tuesday Ten /508 /A Kind of Magic
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /507 /Some Like It Hot
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /506 /We Care
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.
/Tuesday Ten /505 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-22
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /504 /Fly Me Away
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.
/Tuesday Ten /503 /Tracks of the Month /Aug-22
As we edge into September, we’re looking this week at the last tracks from what has been a long, hot summer.
/Tuesday Ten /502 /Whistle While You Work
Earworms. My brain is often like a giant jukebox, with a regular parade of earworms playing when I’m not otherwise listening to music, and just recently there’s been a few […]
/Tuesday Ten /501 /Infest 2022 Preview
In ten days time, and a couple of years later than originally expected, I will be attending my twentieth Infest. I first went along thanks to the invite from a […]
/Tuesday Ten /500 /Tellin’ Stories
In a happy coincidence, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches post number 500 on my birthday: and having checked back, I’ve never posted a /Tuesday Ten on my birthday.
/Tuesday Ten /499 /Tracks of the Month /Jul-22
Already into August, and planning now begins for a number of festivals coming up. In the meantime, here are the best tracks of the past month.
/Tuesday Ten /498 /Pump Up The Volume
As I edge ever-closer to the 500th /Tuesday Ten, this week, I’m celebrating volume.
/Tuesday Ten /497 /It’s Oh So Quiet
It’s baking outside, I’m coming out of the back of my first bout of COVID, and really, all I want to do is hide indoors, with a fan on and […]
/Tuesday Ten /496 /You Are Free (To Do As We Tell You)
The last few years feel like the civilised world has been on something of a precipice, buffeted from all sides by extremist, reactionary opinions and decisions that take us backwards.
/Tuesday Ten /495 /Tracks of the Month /Jun-22
A week that has brought yet more appalling news from the US and elsewhere, and it’s all feeling a bit grim really, isn’t it?
/Tuesday Ten /494 /Now There’s Nothing
I can’t recall where this one first came up, but it might have been thanks to hearing a song that triggered the thought. Anyway, this week is about nothing.
/Tuesday Ten/493/I’m So Excited
My feelings on the Monarchy and “celebrations” like this weekend just past are well known, so I decided to avoid any posts on the subject this time around. Instead, I […]
/Tuesday Ten/492/Tracks of the Month/May-22
As we hurtle through 2022 and crash into summer, here’s the latest set of new music to get you going.
