/Tuesday Ten/112/Tracks of the Month/Aug-10
My usual roundup of tracks new and old that I really like right now.
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 /111 /Betrayal
This week, I’m looking at being betrayed. It’s all thanks to one of these songs coming up on my iPod the other day and getting my mind thinking. It wasn’t hard to find ten songs, either.
/Tuesday Ten/110/2000 Ways of Getting Drunk
I seem to have been doing a lot of it this last few weeks – blame it on my birthday, in the main.
/Tuesday Ten/109/Atomic
Hearing one of these tracks (Nena, since you ask) at, of all places, a friend’s wedding reception, got me thinking about songs about nuclear war or nuclear weapons – and not to mention that the past week saw the 65th anniversary of the only two uses of such weapons in anger (over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, […]
Tuesday Ten: 108: Tracks of the Month (July 2010)
My usual monthly round-up of new stuff I think you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 107: Stuck on Repeat
When I first thought about it, this was inspired by a seemingly never-ending parade of bands who seem to have come up with nothing new themselves that I keep hearing.
Tuesday Ten: 106: It Seemed A Good Idea At The Time
It’s pretty rare that I regret a purchase for too long. Frequently I buy something, listen to it once, put it on the shelf, and then return to it later, but still appreciate it all the same.
Tuesday Ten: 105: Tracks of the Month (June 2010)
Halfway through 2010, and it’s time for another roundup.
/Tuesday Ten/104/Intros
That first thirty-seconds-to-a-minute of a song can be vitally important, particularly if it’s the first thing I’ve heard of an artist. If they don’t grab me, it might be that is the last time I bother with an artist.
/Tuesday Ten/103/Animals
I’ve been concentrating on elephants a lot of late, thanks to the elephant parade in London and my attempts to get all 258 on camera, something that I completed on Monday – see my flickr set for more detail (click on Impossiphant).
/Tuesday Ten/102/Getting Naked
I can’t remember how the thinking for this week came about, but it might well have had something to do with the number of people who were stripping down in the park over the weekend, trying to catch as much of the sun – literally – as possible. I also seem to recall that my […]
Tuesday Ten: 101: Tracks of the Month (May 2010)
Start of the month, so another quick roundup:
/Tuesday Ten /100 /Now Sports
With a big summer of sport coming up – well, ok, the World Cup, as well as the usual stuff like Wimbledon, the British Grand Prix, etc – let’s have a look at the musical world of sports. Not all have been good, mind – all too often songs about one sport or the other […]
/Tuesday Ten/099/Joy Division/New Order covers/30 years since the death of Ian Curtis
Today marks the 30th anniversary of Ian Curtis’ death. The influence of his band and of course New Order that formed in the wake of his death has been enormous, and nowhere is this shown more by the massive list of covers of both band’s songs.
Tuesday Ten: 098: It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World
Something of a touchy subject for this week, perhaps, but this list was inspired after hearing one song too many in this realm from one of the bands in this list. Some will have a higher, er, tolerance than others for this kind of thing, but with the amount of music I hear I frequently […]
Tuesday Ten: 097: Tracks of the Month (April 2010)
A new month, a new roundup of new and not-so-new tracks I think you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 096: Tracks of the Month (March 2010)
This week: my usual weekly roundup of ten tracks worth hearing.
Tuesday Ten: 095: Until Death (Us Do Part)
I’ve been thinking a lot about death of late. A friend sadly passed away on Sunday night after a long battle with illness, while in the musical world the death of Alex Chilton, frontman of Big Star, last week cast something of a shadow over SXSW – not least because he was due to play […]
Tuesday Ten: 094: Ten Women In Music I Find More Attractive Than Kylie Minogue
Let’s say a recent post by a friend (“ten men I find more attractive than Johnny Depp”) has reminded me to go ahead with this week’s Tuesday Ten, a “possible” TT I’ve had on the backburner for a good three months or so. I can’t remember how it originally came about, but the list began […]
Tuesday Ten: 093: Tracks of the Month (February 2010)
Not having picked up much new music in recent weeks, it has given me a chance at last to try and catch up a little with various promo items and things have that come my way, that I may have missed mentioning at the time or hadn’t got ’round to listening to yet.
