/Tuesday Ten /566 /Midlife Crisis
I turned forty-six last month, so I’m likely now in the right place for a midlife crisis.
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 /565 /Tracks of the Month /Aug 2024
Back on the normal, first Tuesday of the month schedule for /Tracks of the Month.
/Tuesday Ten /564 /To Hell With Good Intentions
It’s the impending Bank Holiday Weekend, which means only one thing for us: it’s Infest this weekend in Bradford. /amodelofcontrol.com will be reporting back, of course, with the usual full coverage and photos after the event. If you’re there, come say hi.
/Tuesday Ten /563 /Tracks of the Month /July 2024
Another late /Tracks post this month: sorry about that. Hopefully will be returning to the normal first Tuesday of the month in September.
/Tuesday Ten /562 /Everything’s Not Awesome
Maybe I put this one off after asking for suggestions in January because it wasn’t the right time. Maybe, I just knew that there would be a time and a place for it.
/Tuesday Ten /561 /Bicycle Race
It’s that time of the year when cycling comes to the forefront of the sporting world. As I post this, we begin today the third and final week of the Tour de France, and for the first time ever – since it began in 1903 – it won’t finish this coming Sunday on the Champs-Élysées […]
/Tuesday Ten /560 /Tracks of the Month /June 2024
It’s been a busy, and sometimes chaotic past month, hence why this month’s /Tracks of the Month post is a week later than usual.
/Tuesday Ten /559 /I Want to Break Free – Pride Month
On 28 June 1969, the Stonewall Riots began, a gay liberation protest after the police raided the titular inn. They began the ball rolling for LGBTQIA+ people to become more visible, and to fight for their rights – and the following year, the first Pride marches in the US began.
/Tuesday Ten /558 /Tracks of the Month /May 2024
It’s been another busy old month, with a lot to do, a lot of music to catch up on, and in the end having to hold over a few songs as I simply ran out of time to write about any more.
/Tuesday Ten /557 /..and Justice for All
Fighting injustice, and fighting for justice, have been documented in song probably as long as people have sung songs. They are a way for the oppressed to tell their story, and spread the word of what happened – and in many cases, to set the record straight.
/Tuesday Ten /556 /Bulldozer – Steve Albini songs
Last week, one of the bastions of Alternative Rock died. If you don’t know who Steve Albini was, you’ve certainly heard a song he was involved in. He was in bands since the early eighties, and recorded/produced/engineered hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of records (his Discogs page shows over 1,400 releases credited to him in […]
/Tuesday Ten /555 /Repeating Myself
Just over three years since I last did this – and six years since the first time – I’ve delved back into the seemingly infinite well of songs about or involving repetition for a third go at it.
/Tuesday Ten /554 /Tracks of the Month /Apr 2024
For those bemoaning that “there’s no good new music”, you’re wrong. There’s been an absolute torrent of new music lately, so much that I can barely keep up, and as we close off the first third of the year, there’s already been a few album of the year contenders too.
/Tuesday Ten /553 /The Road
This week, I’m digging back into a suggestion thread that was posted almost exactly four years ago, and I’d not used until now.
/Tuesday Ten /552 /Private Investigations
I got so many suggestions for /Tuesday Ten /550, on the subject of the police, that I realised I had a second post to come from it too.
/Tuesday Ten /551 /Tracks of the Month /Mar 2024
With the end of March and the clocks going forward, we inch into April, hopefully some better weather, and the onset of Spring.
/Tuesday Ten /550 /Caught By The Fuzz
For the 550th Tuesday Ten – almost exactly seventeen years since I began this series – I’m turning my attention to the police.
/Tuesday Ten /549 /Tracks of the Month /Feb-24
2024 has started quickly with a whole host of release announcements, new songs and a variety of surprising tours coming up: so unsurprisingly, I’ve got a lot of tracks to cover with twenty featured (again) this month.
/Tuesday Ten /548 /Bad Blood
The 20th anniversary of /amodelofcontrol.com last week rather bumped this post back a week.
/Tuesday Ten /547 /20 Years of amodelofcontrol.com
Yesterday, on 12-February, /amodelofcontrol.com turned twenty years old. It was probably never expected to last too long: but instead, it inspired me to push on and write more, DJ more, and make friends across the world through music.
