Tuesday Ten: 155: Tracks of the Month (April 2012)
A new month, therefore ten new songs you should hear about.
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/154/Here’s Tom With The Weather
A very British habit – and one of the cliched views of the British from around the world – is, apparently, to talk about the weather incessantly. I’ve never been sure why, but I guess with a changeable climate, the seemingly never-ending threat of rain (well, at least until the last few years, where dry […]
Tuesday Ten: 153: Tracks of the Month (March 2012)
I guess last week’s repackaging Tuesday Ten was kinda apt, seeing as this past week has marked five years of my Tuesday Ten series. That is five years of me carping on about music in various forms. And seeing as I’m not out of ideas yet for the series, they will keep on coming. So, […]
Tuesday Ten: 152: Repackage, remaster, reissue
I’ve looked at band reunions before (144: Back For Good?), but I’ve not looked at the glut of album reissues, remasters and other ways that record labels have found to help bolster their physical sales numbers that little bit more, as digital sales continue to increase. And while I have a bit of a distrust […]
/Tuesday Ten/151/All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
Call this an exercise in free advertising if you like, but I’ve always been happy to recommend and write about music that is released by people that I consider friends. I’d be lying if I said that I like every moment of every release by each artist here, but I’d much rather offer honest opinions […]
Tuesday Ten: 150: Tracks of the Month (February 2012)
This week my Tuesday Ten series hits number 150. There was going to be a special “awards” one this week, but time constraints have put paid to it. It might still become number 151 next week, we shall see. In the meantime let’s look at the awesome tracks you should hear from this month.
Tuesday Ten: 149: B-Sides
In this era of downloads, the B-side has almost become a dead art. And what a shame, when you consider some of the astonishing tracks hidden away on the flipside of a single over the years. Not to mention that a number of B-sides have become accepted as some bands greatest songs, or have become […]
Tuesday Ten: 148: Tracks of the Month (January 2012)
The first new music coverage of 2012 from me (the best of the past month or two, anyway). So new stuff, and a dusting of the old, too.
/Tuesday Ten/147/Long Songs
My girlfriend set me a challenge for two Tuesday Tens the other week, and it seemed like an interesting idea. Last week included the shortest Spotify Playlist I will ever post, and this week goes to the other extreme.
/Tuesday Ten/146/Short Songs
So, a return to my traditional Tuesday Tens after the end of year break for rounding up 2011. My girlfriend set me a challenge for two Tuesday Tens last week, and it seemed like an interesting idea. So here is the first part of it, and it will likely be the shortest Spotify Playlist I […]
Tuesday Ten: 145: Tracks of the Month (October 2011)
Another month already – and time for my usual monthly rundown of the best tracks of the month. As is usual, this will be the last monthly rundown of the year – December will see my end of year roundups.
/Tuesday Ten/144/Back For Good?
Two reunions of different kinds hit the news last week, although interestingly the return of Steps seemed to be rather overshadowed by The Stone Roses. The NME in particular is treating the latter like the, er, Resurrection, the most important music news, well, ever. Which in some respects kinda shows them for what they and […]
Tuesday Ten: 143: Tracks of the Month (September 2011)
A new month, so my usual round-up of good new songs (and the odd old one, too). You know the drill by now, right?
/Tuesday Ten /142 /Good Sex
So, last week I covered “Bad Sex”. This week, it is the better side. The songs that I actually see as being sexy.
/Tuesday Ten /141 /Bad Sex
It has been a long time, er, coming, this. I’d say excuse the pun, but you know I don’t mean that. Anyway, I first started working on this a few months ago, and here it is at last.
Tuesday Ten: 140: Tracks of the Month (August 2011)
Time for another of my monthly new(ish) track roundups. You know the drill by now, right?
Tuesday Ten: 139: Music Daisy Loves…And I Don’t.
When Daisy and I got together, we realised pretty quickly that we have some common ground in our music taste, but there are areas where we diverge in our tastes a great deal. Like, to the point that there are a number of bands that one or the other cannot stand whatsover. I was reminded […]
Tuesday Ten: 138: Hip-Hop
It seems to surprise everyone that I have a not-so-secret love of hip-hop. I’ve only ever dabbled, really, and certainly was never part of the wider hip-hop culture. Some of the stuff that has been released from the hip-hop scene over the years, though, has been phenomenal. There has been stuff every bit as heavy […]
Tuesday Ten: 137: Videos and 30 Years of MTV
Another bit of a retrospective this week, as I finally get ’round to covering the fact that MTV turned 30 years old on 01-August. As the NME noted a few months ago, whatever happened to the MTV of old? For all its faults – not least seemingly moving away from what was the whole point […]
Tuesday Ten: 136: Tracks of the Month (July 2011)
The first TT for a few weeks, and it is already back to my tracks of the month.
