Tuesday Ten: 304: No Words, No Thoughts
The instrumental is often a rather maligned part of an artist’s repertoire. There was some discussion of what counts as an instrumental. Wiki suggested:

Now ten years old and counting, my regular series of Tuesday posts takes in new music and sometimes rather random categories.
Tuesday Ten: 303: Tracks of the Month (July 2017)
Already back ’round to a new month, and we’re hurtling through summer. First Tuesday of the new month, then, so time for the best tracks, and there are a lot of them this time around. Why? The autumn release schedule is, it seems, rather crowded this year.
Tuesday Ten: 302: Tracks of the Month (July 1997)
It feels a bit weird posting this today. Only yesterday I posted Talk Show Host: 034, my latest interview with seeming, where there was a lengthy discussion about how nostalgia in music makes us all regress.
/Tuesday Ten/301/Oh My Goth!
I made the mistake of asking “What is Goth to you” on Facebook recently (after being asked the same question by French journalists at Whitby, in my role as (co-)captain of Real Gothic FC). Over 700 comments later, we were still no closer to the answer.
/Tuesday Ten/300/Bring The Noise
Welcome to Tuesday Ten 300, and this week I’m talking about songs that are about music. I’ve spent just over ten years on this series – with more frequent posting at some points than others – with the core posts being monthly run-downs of the best new music within the realms of my interests. This […]
Tuesday Ten: 299: Tracks of the Month (June 2017)
As I nudge toward Tuesday Ten: 300 next week (a milestone I never thought I’d reach), another month has passed and here we are again with the latest batch of new tracks to catch up on. It’s something of a mix of styles, as ever. We were having a debate on my Facebook page a […]
Tuesday Ten: 298: Tracks of the Month (June 1997)
The realisation of how strong a year 1997 was for music, certainly in the UK anyway, has been seen by a whole litany of posts on various sites in recent months (this one from 6Music piqued my interest, seeing as every single album in the list, I think, will be covered by me in my […]
Tuesday Ten: 297: The Monster Mash
What’s that coming over the hill? This week, it really is a monster (or mythical creature). Ten of them, in fact.
Tuesday Ten: 296: Tracks of the Month (May 2017)
It is, then, the week of another bloody election this week here in the UK, and there has been distinct signs of just how fucked off everyone seems to be with it across the coverage of it (not helped by the uptick in terrorist attacks in the country in recent weeks). Fuck knows what is […]
Tuesday Ten: 295: Tracks of the Month (May 1997)
We’re edging toward the halfway point of 2017, and this week I’m taking a fifth look back at 1997.
/Tuesday Ten/294/Strength to Endure
Last week I was looking at weakness, and songs thereof, and this week, it’s the flipside.
/Tuesday Ten/293/My Weakness Is None of Your Business
In another of those instances of “how have I not written about this before”, welcome to this week’s Tuesday Ten.
Tuesday Ten: 292: Tracks of the Month (April 2017)
It has been another busy week gathering and writing content at amodelofcontrol.com, and there will be a few posts in the next couple of weeks as a result. The first of which is this, the best tracks of the past month.
Tuesday Ten: 291: Tracks of the Month (April 1997)
Back from Whitby, and straight back onto the regular programming here on amodelofcontrol.com.
Tuesday Ten: 290: Why Don’t You Get A Job?
I passed seven years working for the same employer recently (by some considerable distance the longest I’ve worked for one company in the two decades that I’ve had jobs), and while things haven’t always been plain sailing, currently I’ve got the kind of role I wanted.
/Tuesday Ten/289/European Me
I toyed with the idea of a post celebrating Europe last summer around the referendum vote, but frankly, I was too damned down about the whole thing to even consider it. Debate has raged, of course, in the press, in person, on social media, just about everywhere, and there is certainly no doubt that the […]
Tuesday Ten: 288: Tracks of the Month (March 2017)
Back to normal this week, with the best tracks of the past month.
Tuesday Ten: 287: Tracks of the Month (March 1997)
Ten years of Tens. 287 posts, featuring 1,261 artists, 2,121 tracks, 1,817 albums, and 93 tracks from 81 artists named track of the month. In addition, there have been 42 best-of-year posts (actually going back as far as 2004), and run-downs of the best of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s (which was across a total […]
/Tuesday Ten /286 /When I Grow Up
Next week marks ten years since I began the Tuesday Ten series, at the end of March 2007. I was 28 then, and much has changed in the decade since.
/Tuesday Ten/285/Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home
The election of Donald Trump on what was, basically, an anti-immigrant/minority ticket has already begun to have a major impact on the lives of visitors and residents of the US, while it is becoming ever clearer that the “Brexit” vote to leave the EU in the UK was also around little more than immigration concerns […]
