Tuesday Ten: 096: Tracks of the Month (March 2010)
This week: my usual weekly roundup of ten tracks worth hearing.
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: 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.
Tuesday Ten: 092: Cowbell
A slightly more light-hearted TT this week, one that’s been in the works since the recent Christmas number one, and hearing nothing but cowbell, it seems, in much of the Winter Olympics coverage in the past week or so, made this appropriate. Also, tools exist to add cowbell to any song you like, but today […]
/Tuesday Ten/091/Bad Romance
This week is inspired by the usual annual marketing blitz that is Valentines Day, and in particular this article about valentines day compilation albums. So, here are ten songs you are unlikely to hear on such a compilation: all of these songs are about love in one way or another, just maybe not the “conventional” […]
Tuesday Ten: 090: Tracks of the Month (January 2010)
Ok, on to this month’s tracks you should hear. Or, the second of today’s doses – and the first monthly round-up of this decade.
Tuesday Ten: 089: Better Covers
Firstly, further to last week, can I also suggest that following an advert for this seen at the weekend, that there is a seperate circle of hell reserved for it?
Tuesday Ten: 088: Bad Cover Version
Ok, for the return of the Tuesday Ten for 2010, this week is the first of a pair of posts that are companions of sorts. Both of them will be looking at cover versions, but in specific ways. This week, I’m looking at covers where the originals weren’t necessarily bad, but the cover versions are […]
Tuesday Ten: 087: Tracks of the Month (November 2009)
This month’s ten tracks I think you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 086: Tracks of the Month (October 2009)
This month’s ten tracks you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 085: Tracks of the Month (September 2009)
So, then: ten tracks for the month.
Tuesday Ten: 084: Tracks of the Month (August 2009)
This month’s ten tracks I think you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 083: Soundtracks
This week’s Tuesday Ten comes courtesy of two things, really: this article about soundtrack writers, and then Cyanotic’s recent re-working of the Terminator theme. Both of these got me thinking about soundtracks, as somehow I don’t think I’ve ever actually covered them in a Tuesday Ten. But I’m not going for the easy option of just […]
/Tuesday Ten /082 /Life In The City
This week, it’s time to revisit a list I’ve had partially completed for weeks. It’s all about life in the city. I love living in the city and indeed have done so for much of my life. I love the bustle, the crowded streets, the fast pace of life, and the fact that there is […]
Tuesday Ten: 081: Tracks of the Month (July 2009)
A new month, so time for my usual round-up of tracks I think you should hear this time around.
Tuesday Ten: 080: Swearing
Ideas for future Tuesday Tens are coming thick and fast at the moment, and indeed I have the core of two more already completed too, and this week’s was a late change of plan, mainly after I realised just how many songs could be included. So the other two I have planned will be held […]
/Tuesday Ten /079 /Space
A perhaps predictable subject for this week’s Tuesday Ten: it’s all about space, what with it being the 40th anniversary of the first moon landings this week. I’ve always thought of songs written to be about space travel, or related subjects, to be a very common theme, but in the event it actually turned out […]
Tuesday Ten: 078: 90s Industrial Metal
The 90s were a heyday for industrial metal – let’s be honest, few bands have been able to continue a high quality output of this style into this decade, and fewer more recent bands still have been able to keep the flame alive (with notable exceptions being the likes of Interlock and Cyanotic). To confirm […]
Tuesday Ten: 077: Tracks of the Month (June 2009)
It’s time for my run-down of ten of the best tracks I’ve heard in the past month.
