/Tuesday Ten /499 /Tracks of the Month /Jul-22
Already into August, and planning now begins for a number of festivals coming up. In the meantime, here are the best tracks of the past 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 /498 /Pump Up The Volume
As I edge ever-closer to the 500th /Tuesday Ten, this week, I’m celebrating volume.
/Tuesday Ten /497 /It’s Oh So Quiet
It’s baking outside, I’m coming out of the back of my first bout of COVID, and really, all I want to do is hide indoors, with a fan on and a continual supply of water. I’ve already covered extreme heat a few years ago, on /Tuesday Ten /337 /Hot Hot Hot!!!, by the way, so […]
/Tuesday Ten /496 /You Are Free (To Do As We Tell You)
The last few years feel like the civilised world has been on something of a precipice, buffeted from all sides by extremist, reactionary opinions and decisions that take us backwards.
/Tuesday Ten /495 /Tracks of the Month /Jun-22
A week that has brought yet more appalling news from the US and elsewhere, and it’s all feeling a bit grim really, isn’t it?
/Tuesday Ten /494 /Now There’s Nothing
I can’t recall where this one first came up, but it might have been thanks to hearing a song that triggered the thought. Anyway, this week is about nothing.
/Tuesday Ten/493/I’m So Excited
My feelings on the Monarchy and “celebrations” like this weekend just past are well known, so I decided to avoid any posts on the subject this time around. Instead, I got thinking the other week about songs about excitement, and things that might thrill me instead.
/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.
/Tuesday Ten/491/When Will I Be Famous?
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.
/Tuesday Ten/490/Different Drum
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.
/Tuesday Ten/489/Tracks of the Month/Apr-22
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.

/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 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 […]
/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 to get outdoors more.
/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 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 […]
/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 another user on Livejournal, reaches fifteen years of posts.
/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. Especially when I hear the politicians here in the UK yet again conflating everything with winning a war – to my ears, the worst kind […]
/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 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 […]
/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 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 […]
