/Tuesday Ten /519 /Tracks of the Month /Feb-23
Another month, another bumper crop of new music to celebrate.
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 /518 /Power
Once again, I’ve been digging into the suggestion archives this week and picking up on another subject that I asked about aeons ago and never got ’round to using.

/Tuesday Ten /517 /Talk Dirty To Me
Last year, my friend Shreena offered two subject suggestions for future /Tuesday Tens, and while I asked for songs for both around then, I only ever posted one of them.
/Tuesday Ten /516 /Perfect Disguise
I’ve long been fascinated by a large number of artists that choose not to play by the notion of fame. That is, shy away from the idea of presenting themselves, but instead putting themselves behind a cloak of anonymity, or behind a disguise. There have been a great many artists that have done so, as […]
/Tuesday Ten /515 /Tracks of the Month /Jan-23
Back on the usual schedule, here are the best tracks of the first month of 2023.
/Tuesday Ten /514 /Smash It Up
Content warning: this post contains songs with descriptions of violence and assault – in some cases graphic and unflinching – and indeed discussion of those songs. This week, I turn to songs about violence. We seem to be living in turbulent times that all too often erupt in violence, but what is interesting here is […]
/Tuesday Ten /513 /Tracks of the Month /Dec-22
We’ve hurtled into an already chaotic 2023, and the second Tuesday in, it’s time for the first /Tracks of the Month of the new year.
/Tuesday Ten /512 /We’re In This Together
The final /Tuesday Ten of 2022 is, at least in part, about togetherness. Over the last few years, the idea of banding together to help, to achieve and make better has in some quarters at least gained traction again.
/Tuesday Ten /511 /11 Miles an Hour
Fifty-nine years ago today, US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, Dallas. Generally seen as a pivotal moment in the second half of the twentieth century, certainly in the context of American history at least, there have been countless theories around his assassination and also “what might have beens” had he not […]
/Tuesday Ten /510 /Climb Ev’ry Mountain
For much of my life, I’ve lived in the hillier areas of this country. From my early years in the surprisingly hilly Medway Towns, to the West and South Yorkshire hills, even the hills of North London. Even now, on the Kent Coast, if I want to go any appreciable distance from my now home, […]
/Tuesday Ten /509 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-22
Back from Whitby, and while I saw a handful of bands (more about those later in the week), today it’s back to the best tracks of the past month.
/Tuesday Ten /508 /A Kind of Magic
We’re nearing the end of October, and thus in the week of Devil’s Night and All Hallow’s Eve – or Hallowe’en, of course. So I thought I’d dig into my list of as-yet-unposted subjects to find an appropriate one.
/Tuesday Ten /507 /Some Like It Hot
Fancy a brew? The nights are drawing in, it’s getting cooler, and thus hot drinks become the desired thing for many on more occasions. That said, I drink tea regardless of the time of year.
/Tuesday Ten /506 /We Care
Back to regular /Tuesday Ten postings, then, and this week I’ve moved on to something of an emotional subject: to care or not to care.
/Tuesday Ten /505 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-22
Back into the writing saddle, then, as I wrap up the best music of the past month. The write-up of Cold Waves X from Chicago will follow in the next day or two, as it turns out there was an awful lot to say…
/Tuesday Ten /504 /Fly Me Away
By the time you likely read this, I’ll be in the air to Chicago, on my first flights since literally just before the pandemic fully bit hard.
/Tuesday Ten /503 /Tracks of the Month /Aug-22
As we edge into September, we’re looking this week at the last tracks from what has been a long, hot summer.
/Tuesday Ten /502 /Whistle While You Work
Earworms. My brain is often like a giant jukebox, with a regular parade of earworms playing when I’m not otherwise listening to music, and just recently there’s been a few that have involved whistling at one point or another.
/Tuesday Ten /501 /Infest 2022 Preview
In ten days time, and a couple of years later than originally expected, I will be attending my twentieth Infest. I first went along thanks to the invite from a friend to most of Infest 2000, when I discovered a particular love for In Strict Confidence, and I was so hooked that from then on […]
/Tuesday Ten /500 /Tellin’ Stories
In a happy coincidence, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches post number 500 on my birthday: and having checked back, I’ve never posted a /Tuesday Ten on my birthday.
