Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.

Coming soon: starting 27-November, amodelofcontrol.com will be unveiling Countdown: 2018 – where I look at the best of the year across successive Tuesdays into December. I’ll be starting with the best compilations and re-issues, followed by the best tracks, best albums and finally the best gigs of the year.

transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has resumed the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes here. The latest episode was released recently (transmission: 012), and transmission: 013 will be out soon. I’m currently having some issues with the podcast so please bear with me while I rebuild and get it live again.

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the new Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”).

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

Tuesday Ten: 351: You Think You’re A Man (Toxic Masculinity)
I delve into songs dealing with toxic masculinity, and the results aren’t especially pleasant
