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.
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/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…
/Tuesday Ten/045/Biting The Hand That Feeds
This week, it's time to turn inward a little – and look at songs written about the music industry. Needless to say, this kind of song is almost always written in a negative light (I can't think of any positive examples – if you can, I'd love to hear from you), and here are ten […]
Tuesday Ten: 044: Music That Is Pissing Me Off
It has been commented in the past that the majority of my music writing errs on the positive side – which is mainly true. I don't like putting loads of negative reviews online – mainly because I'd rather emphasise the good, and partly because, it appears, some artists don't like hearing bad reviews. Playlists: Spotify […]
/Tuesday Ten /043 /Sheffield
I listened to a radio show from last week that resulted in the inspiration for this week’s Tuesday Ten. And what was that show? It was Jarvis Cocker’s musical map of Sheffield, which was a fascinating guide through the Sheffield that Jarvis grew up in, and the music he was influenced by along the way […]
Tuesday Ten: 042: Tracks of the Month (June 2008)
So, onto this week's Tuesday Ten: and with a new month already, it's time for my usual monthly rundown of ten tracks I really quite like right now.
Tuesday Ten: 041: The Best of What
Following the fuss over the recent Radiohead "Best of", and then rather lesser-known band LUXT wanting to effectively revise history by re-recording their older material with their new singer to create a career overview, it's time to appraise the idea of the "Best of" compilation.
Tuesday Ten: 040: In All Languages
Loosely inspired by other silly posts comparing Euro 2008 to other things (the European Championships of Beer being the best I've seen so far), I'm turning my attention this week to the more international corners of my music collection – and in particular, bands that sing in other languages than English, and indeed perhaps their […]
Tuesday Ten: 039: Tracks of the Month (May 2008)
Where the hell is this year going? We seem to be flying through it. So anyway, here's my monthly rundown of ten tracks that I really like/am listening to lots at the moment.
Tuesday Ten: 038: Musical Heroes
This week's Tuesday Ten has been "in the works" for a few weeks, as after I had first conceived the idea it took me some time to complete the list. So what is it? It is the idea of my musical heroes. Obviously this is likely to be a contentious list: and those in it […]
Tuesday Ten: 037: Tracks of the Month (April 2008)
Here is my usual run-down of ten tracks that I think are worthy of mention from the past month. Some might note a lack of “metal” in this list: mainly because there is little new stuff that I have heard that has inspired me to write about in any way. So, here goes.
Tuesday Ten: 036: 90s II
As promised last week, here is the second part of my favourite albums of the 90s. Same rules as before, this time the list takes a more metallic edge, perhaps. These ten are in chronological order, just about, by the way.
Tuesday Ten: 035: 90s I
A few weeks ago I covered ten of my favourite 80s albums. The 90s were the decade where I seriously got into music, and because of the disparate genres I listen to, there is simply no way that I can narrow this down to ten. So, my favourite albums of the 90s is split into […]
Tuesday Ten: 034: Tracks of the Month (March 2008)
Another month, another quick run-down of my favourite tracks of the past month.
Tuesday Ten: 033: 80s
So that can only mean that it’s time for me to do another Tuesday Ten – I haven’t done one in a while. And this week’s is all the fault of Infest, really – and more to the point their announcements last week.
