/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.

Into the second half of 2022, and the new releases continue to flood in. Anyway. 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 […]
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?
Another busy week of work, and seeing the incomparable Einstürzende Neubauten last night, and here’s this week’s new music to hopefully distract you a bit.
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.
A sweltering week, and here’s this week’s new music to hopefully distract you a bit.
Much like two weeks ago, this post comes with discussion of death. This time, though, it was closer to home, as a drinking-and-gig buddy from London sadly passed away this week. DL, we’re gonna miss you, dude. Anyway. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to […]
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.
It’s been nearly a year since the last /Stormblast, and as I’ve been tentatively returning to the odd livestream of late, I thought it time to dust off this one and do another.
As we hurtle through 2022 and crash into summer, here’s the latest set of new music to get you going.
A bit of a grim end to the week, really, with the sudden death of Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode announced yesterday (among a number of other notable deaths within about 24 hours). I wasn’t ever the devoted fan that many of my friends still are, but DM has been part of my musical life […]
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.
Fewer releases again this week, at least compared to the last few weeks… The post, then, 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 […]

Continuing my less intensive live streaming, both thanks to more things happening “in person”, and pressures of my own life.
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.
Another strong set of releases to cover this week.

Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and […]
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.

Hopefully back to weekly postings from now on, and probably a good thing, judging by the enormous number of releases being covered this week. The post, then, 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 catchup […]
“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 […]
