I got started with my /Countdown /2022 coverage this past week, with more to come in the next few weeks. In the meantime…
This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.

Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez’s side-project has rumbled back into life this year, and after a few standalone singles, a new six-track EP has dropped today, and it’s very good indeed.
/New Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
18-Nov 2022 / Front Line Assembly / Tactical Neural Implant (30th Anniversary) /Wax Trax! Store

None this week.
/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
None this week.
/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
Obviously, things change at short notice right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.
/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. I’m currently fixing a couple of minor backend issues, so new events may not be added promptly, or be added sporadically.
If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
