/Tuesday Ten/492/Tracks of the Month/May-22
As we hurtle through 2022 and crash into summer, here’s the latest set of new music to get you going.
Now ten years old and counting, my regular series of Tuesday posts takes in new music and sometimes rather random categories.
As we hurtle through 2022 and crash into summer, here’s the latest set of new music to get you going.
After what is these days a rare week off from /Tuesday Ten posts, I’m back this week with one looking at the pressures of fame.
A curious quirk of this series is that I occasionally get suggestions from friends for a subject to cover, and often, they are smart, considered subjects that I might not have thought of.
How fast is this year passing? I blink and we’re already into May, and thus it is time for the latest round-up of the best tracks that have passed my way.

“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 labels and greater success, with the usual accusation being that such a move sanitises the music and chips away at what made them great in […]
After the light last week, there must be darkness, I guess. So despite the spring weather, I’m heading into the dark.
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 to get outdoors more.
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 favourites). So here we go with this month’s /Tracks of the Month. [cardoza_facebook_like_box] /Tuesday Ten/485/Tracks of the Month /Subject /Tracks of the Month /Playlists /Spotify […]
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 another user on Livejournal, reaches fifteen years of posts.
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. Especially when I hear the politicians here in the UK yet again conflating everything with winning a war – to my ears, the worst kind […]
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 as I’ve begun to get into the swing of things in my new job. So, a variety of playlists (and 6 Music) have been my […]
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.
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 preparing to start my new job (today). But even among all of that, I’ve managed to find time to write about another bumper batch of […]
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 major storms, it is the first time that three such storms have swept through the UK within seven days.
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 a habit of showing my frustration all too readily over the years (and it’s something I’m trying not to do in future). So, needless to […]
This week’s /Tuesday Ten comes with a content warning for discussion of depression and suicide.
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 myself a bit of a distraction in writing about music again is what I need.
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 only wildlife I got to see were urban birdlife, or urban foxes for the most part.
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 its own. This post is to provide a list of all of the /Tuesday Ten entries so far, with links to each. A database of […]
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 thinking.
