/Tuesday Ten /065 /Places
This was a late decision to do a Tuesday Ten this week, and it ended up being a list I had far too many suggestions for – again.
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: 064: Do You Remember The First Time?
As I said last week, I have suddenly had a short flush of inspiration for these Tuesday Tens at the moment. This one has taken me weeks to collate, gave me lots of ideas, and perhaps even more music to re-evaluate. This week it's about debut albums, and in particular ones I really like or […]
/Tuesday Ten/063/Robots
After last week saw the end of a lull in my Tuesday Ten postings, I’m hoping this month to actually do one each week. This week’s was inspired by the mention on Popjustice (complete with sample) of Röyksopp‘s forthcoming single The Girl and The Robot, which appears to be something of a rather brilliant pop song, and then there […]
Tuesday Ten: 062: Tracks of the Month (February 2009)
A new month, so back to the usual monthly round-up of the tracks I love right now.
Tuesday Ten: 061: Comedians
Comedians have always influenced music in various ways, but no-one seems to have been sampled, remixed or simply been such an inspiration to various musicians like Bill Hicks – well, with the exception of Lenny Bruce, perhaps.
Tuesday Ten: 060: Blastbeats
Moved from Tuesday for this week only, and with good reason – thanks to the original light-hearted suggestion by music blogger Erich Keller, it's Blastbeat Celebration Day today. This got coverage even in the Guardian, and it's probably no coincidence that the new issue of Terrorizer – who were the ones who originally championed Keller's […]
Tuesday Ten: 059: Tracks of the Month (January 2009)
A bit later than normal, but here are my "tracks of the month" for this month. The next one of these will now be at the start of March.
Tuesday Ten: 058: 2008’s Voyage of Discovery
For perhaps the first year in a while, 2008 was very much about new music for me at least. Or, put another away, new musical discoveries. Some of these artists were new, some of them were not, and others I had totally missed along the way – and various people have prompted me to give […]
Tuesday Ten: 057: Side Projects
For this week's Tuesday Ten, I'm turning my attention to the side-project, an often-maligned pasttime for many artists.
/Tuesday Ten/056/American Politics
I’ve held this over from last week, which perhaps would have been a better time for it…but never mind. Songs about politics and all relating to it are an age-old idea, but still even after all these years one with legs. And after a quick scan of my collection suggested loads and loads for this, […]
Tuesday Ten: 055: Tracks of the Month (October 2008)
It feels like a long time since I last did one of these. This week it is time for my usual monthly rundown of my top ten tracks from the past month or so. I struggled for a list for this month, too. Any suggestions for new music I should be listening to or hunting […]
/Tuesday Ten/054/The London Astoria
A friends’ posting of this link over the weekend provided me inspiration for the subject of this week’s Tuesday Ten.
/Tuesday Ten/053/Drugs
The late Bill Hicks probably had it right when he espoused his views on the links between musicians and drugs. You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take […]
Tuesday Ten: 052: Tracks of the Month (September 2008)
Back to the TT after a few weeks off, and it's time for my usual round-up of ten tracks that have had my attention this month.
/Tuesday Ten/051/Metal Videos (that won’t make it to MTV2)
It’s Metal Week on MTV2 this week (presumably due to the new Metallica album release this week), and it has resulted in various things being played that I’ve not heard in bloody ages. However, the list of metal bands that they are playing is depressingly narrow, and missing a large number of quite obvious bands. […]
Tuesday Ten: 050: The Female of the Species
Today marks the 50th Tuesday Ten since I started doing these back in March 2007. And while I thought I might run out of ideas quite quickly for subjects for this, somehow they just keep flowing.
Tuesday Ten: 049: Tracks of the Month (August 2008)
I've picked up quite a bit of new music recently, so this was one of the easiest monthly lists I've done in a while. Anyway, here are ten tracks that have rocked my world in the last month.
Tuesday Ten: 048: An Infest Wishlist
Let's kick off my Infest coverage now. Every year, on the Sunday of Infest, many, many attendees fill in the feedback form, with the second page of it dedicated to providing feedback on the bands that you would like to see at the next year's Infest. Often, it is little more than a wishlist – […]
/Tuesday Ten/047/Documents of the Past
I set myself a tough subject for this week’s list a few weeks ago, and in some respects, I’m glad I gave myself the extra time to prepare this list – while I had a lot of options for it, it proved to be a tough one to whittle down.
Tuesday Ten: 046: Tracks of the Month (July 2008)
Time for my usual monthly round-up of ten tracks of the month…
