/Tuesday Ten/488/Sell Out
“Sell Out”. It has long been the cry of alternative or underground music fans as their beloved bands get to a certain size, and move from independent labels to major […]
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/487/Let’s Go Dark
After the light last week, there must be darkness, I guess. So despite the spring weather, I’m heading into the dark.
/Tuesday Ten/486/Lightbringer
Despite being someone that is part of the wider dark subculture, I love the coming of the light that is Spring. The longer days, the warmer temperatures, and the ability […]
/Tuesday Ten/485/Tracks of the Month/Mar-22
An intriguing, and sometimes busy, first month in my new job has seen a fair bit of travel, and thus time to listen to new music (as well as old […]
/Tuesday Ten/484/Fifteen Years
This week, what started out as a quick round-up of the best music I was listening to at the time (not necessarily new music initially), thanks to a request from […]
/Tuesday Ten/483/My Country
Watching helplessly as the world lurches from one crisis to another, most recently the appalling, unwarranted and illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, has not done much for the mind. […]
/Tuesday Ten/482/Rulebreaker
I’ve done a lot of driving lately, both north to see my Dad (who is happily now recovering, and out of Intensive Care), and more recently to a few meetings […]
/Tuesday Ten/481/Up the Down Escalator
Going up, or going down? This week is about songs that do one, the other, or in a couple of cases, both. And not, necessarily, are directions involved.
/Tuesday Ten/480/Tracks of the Month/Feb-22
It has been a chaotic, busy month, as we’ve dealt with my father in hospital (still, although he’s now recovering at last), my wife being ill with tonsilitis, and me […]
/Tuesday Ten/479/Stormy Clouds
It will not have escaped the notice of British and north-west European readers that there’s been a bit of Weather this week. Indeed, since the Met Office introduced names for […]
/Tuesday Ten/478/Fires of Frustration
Frustration at lack of progress, a lack of things being done, at work colleagues, at slow people on the street in front of me. Oh yes, I perhaps have had […]
/Tuesday Ten/477/You Make Me Nervous
This week’s /Tuesday Ten comes with a content warning for discussion of depression and suicide.
/Tuesday Ten/476/Tracks of the Month/Jan-22
These past few weeks have been a bit of a nightmare away from writing about music (my father has been, and still is, very ill in hospital), and perhaps, giving […]
/Tuesday Ten/475/In A Big Country
For the majority of my life, I’ve never really lived in the country. I’ve always been in urban environments, where the nearest green space is a local park, and the […]
/Tuesday Ten/Index
My /Tuesday Ten series began in March 2007, initially as an attempt to round up the best tracks of each month for my friends, but swiftly gained a life of […]
/Tuesday Ten/474/Which Side Are You On?
For the first of my subject-based /Tuesday Ten posts in 2022, I’m picking up on a suggestion thread that I did in the weeks before Christmas, and had got me […]
/Tuesday Ten/473/Tracks of the Month/Dec-21
A new year, and a new look for my posts on /amodelofcontrol.com, for the most part, a case of tidying up things and getting a cleaner style.
/Tuesday Ten/472/Broken / Fixed
This week marks the end of /Tuesday Tens for 2021 (they will resume in the new year), as I prepare to round up what has been a very busy year […]
/Tuesday Ten/471/Longer and Longer
Over recent posts in the past month or so, I’ve been working with the shortest one-word song titles we could think of. There was only one way I could go […]
/Tuesday Ten/470/Tracks of the Month/Oct-21
…and just like that, this is the last /Tracks of the Month roundup for 2021. I’ll be beginning /Countdown/2021 in less than a month, looking at the best music of […]
