/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.
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: 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 […]
Tuesday Ten: 284: Tracks of the Month (February 2017)
Today’s post falls with somewhat unhappy timing.
Tuesday Ten: 283: Tracks of the Month (February 1997)
A second month of digging back into my memory bank to look at releases from 1997.
/Tuesday Ten/282/Poker Face
A good few weeks ago, I was listening to an album and my thoughts came to the idea of songs about winning. But, then, I thought, what about losing? And after I asked for more suggestions from my ever-helpful friends on Facebook, it transpired that I had enough songs for winning, losing and gambling, too.
/Tuesday Ten/281/Love, and Prince
Sunday night saw two notable Prince events – one was the tribute to him at the Grammys by The Time and Bruno Mars (the latter increasingly proving he is the best tribute act in town), the other being that – at long last – a vast amount of Prince’s back-catalogue is now on all of […]
Tuesday Ten: 280: Tracks of the Month (January 2017)
We’re into a new year, I’ve already got started with other posts, so here we go with the first new tracks post of 2017.
Tuesday Ten: 279: Tracks of the Month (January 1997)
Over last year – to mark twenty years since I began writing about music – I ran a series of posts looking at the music I was buying and listening to in 1996 (and that was released that year), partly to jog my memory and partly to dig into my formative musical influences a bit, […]
Tuesday Ten: 278: Camden Town
About eighteen years ago, while I was still reading Geography at King’s College London, the subject of my dissertation proposal came up.
/Tuesday Ten/277/Here Comes The Flood (Environmental Songs)
This Friday, what was potentially unthinkable (and very unlikely indeed) a year ago will happen – Donald Trump gets inaugurated as 45th President of the United States of America.
Tuesday Ten: 276/Welcome to the Future: 003: New Music for 2017
2017 on amodelofcontrol.com begins with a look at what’s to come in the realm of music that I cover.
/Tuesday Ten /275 /First We Take Manhattan
This Saturday, my wife and I (finally) head off on our honeymoon, starting off in New York – a city I’ve wanted to visit and see for myself for as long as I’ve looked out on the world.
Tuesday Ten: 274: Tracks of the Month (October 2016)
Another batch of new tracks for you to listen to and read about.
