/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.
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/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 in the ever-widening corner of music that this website covers.
/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 after that, and that was longer.
/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 the year, and while this might be the last ten tracks I feature during the year, there will no doubt be something else amazing released […]
/Tuesday Ten/469/Four Letter Word
I conclude – well, kinda – the short song title series with four-letter-word song titles, and this one took a lot of work.
/Tuesday Ten/468/3 Feet High and Rising
Back on my current series this week, as I move onto three-letter song titles. This was where things got easier.
/Tuesday Ten/467/Tracks of the Month/Sep-21
Another one a week later than usual, but then, life is weird and really damned busy right now. Here’s the latest slab of tracks of the month – with a bonus eleventh because it is late.
/Tuesday Ten/466/Two Wires Thin
Following on from last week, we’re onto two-letter word song titles. And, it turns out, this was possibly the hardest of the lot – certainly going on the suggestions, there aren’t many of them.
/Tuesday Ten/465/Just The One
A certain friend suggested recently that I open a suggestion thread for songs with four-letter titles (that were actual words – no punctuation, no abbreviations, no numbers). It spawned something of a monster, as I also asked about three-, two- and one-letter song titles (with the same rules).
/Tuesday Ten/464/Tracks of the Month (Aug-21)
We’ve got one last blast of summer here this week, before we begin the tumble down into the cooler climes of Autumn. Clubs seem to be back in full force – of course with restrictions – while some gigs are happening, others still being postponed. None of which is stopping the continuing flood of new […]
/Tuesday Ten/463/Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Lockdown might be “over” in the UK – insomuch as the Government seems to have washed their hands of responsibility for it – but there are a lot of people still trying to reduce their contact with the outside world, in circumstances where they can’t control potential contact or transmission.
/Tuesday Ten/462/A Time and a Place
This was one of the first suggestion threads where many of the responses really frustrated me. What is a landmark? Let’s check the definition of a landmark: /Tuesday Ten/462/A Time and a Place [cardoza_facebook_like_box] /Tuesday Ten/Playlists /Playlists/Spotify /Playlists/YouTube /Tuesday Ten/On Location /065/Places /082/Life In The City /135/A Night On The Town /212/Chicago /247/London /275/First We […]
/Tuesday Ten/461/Cocktails for Two
As many of my friends will know, my wife and I have become infamous for our adventures in cocktails. Be that hitting the bars of pretty much any city we visit to try cocktails, to the immense booze collection we have at home to make our own, we’ve tried a whole host of them and […]
/Tuesday Ten/460/Tracks of the Month (Jul-21)
A week later than usual, thanks to a busy summer, but I got there in the end – here’s this month’s tracks of the month.
/Tuesday Ten/459/Don’t Fight It, Feel It
There are times when I ask questions for this long-running series that turn out, well, differently to how I might have expected, and this is one of those times.
/Tuesday Ten/458/Tracks of the Month/Jun 2021
We’re halfway through the year (already!), and into a new month, thus it is time for another wrap-up of the best new music of the past month on /amodelofcontrol.com.
/Tuesday Ten/457/Rock’n’Roll High School
While I’ve alluded to it before, and indeed perhaps referenced it in the odd song in this series – now over fourteen years old, and 457 posts in – I’ve never explicitly written about school days, so this week, I change that – mainly after the realisation that this summer marks twenty-five years since I […]
/Tuesday Ten/456/Danger! High Voltage!
Perhaps not for the first time, this week I’m wondering how exactly I’ve left it this long to cover a subject. It is very much one of those things that I should have covered some time ago, but apparently I never got ’round to it. So, as usual, I asked my friends, and was perhaps […]
/Tuesday Ten/455/Tracks of the Month/May 2021
The sun is back, we’ve basked in glorious weather the entire Bank Holiday weekend (a miracle in itself), and we’re already into June. This means another wrap-up of the best new music of the past month on /amodelofcontrol.com.
/Tuesday Ten/454/What Did You Do In The War?
As I’ve noted before, I come from a military family. My parents both lived overseas as children and teenagers when their fathers were stationed in Germany (in different locations), and then met while living on adjacent army camps, as I understand it, north of Salisbury – and indeed I was born in Salisbury, and for […]
