/DJ /Circling Overland /002 /24-Feb 2022
24-Feb was determined to be International EBM Day a few years back (24/2 – geddit?), and so increasingly, it has become a day where the roots and history of the musical style are celebrated.
/Tuesday Ten/479/Stormy Clouds
It will not have escaped the notice of British and north-west European readers that there’s been a bit of Weather this week. Indeed, since the Met Office introduced names for major storms, it is the first time that three such storms have swept through the UK within seven days.
/Welcome to the Future/204/Events, Livestreams and new releases 18-Feb 2022
Another busy week of releases and announcements, as I try to keep up… 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/478/Fires of Frustration
Frustration at lack of progress, a lack of things being done, at work colleagues, at slow people on the street in front of me. Oh yes, I perhaps have had a habit of showing my frustration all too readily over the years (and it’s something I’m trying not to do in future). So, needless to […]
/Welcome to the Future/203/Events, Livestreams and new releases 11-Feb 2022
Another busy week of releases and announcements, as I try to keep up… 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/477/You Make Me Nervous
This week’s /Tuesday Ten comes with a content warning for discussion of depression and suicide.
/Welcome to the Future/202/Events, Livestreams and new releases 04-Feb 2022
Bandcamp Friday is back, but this time it feels like a lot of artists were prepared in advance (I’ve certainly not had the usual avalanche of notifications that I usually do). The post, then, is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from […]
/DJ/TheKindaMzkYouLike /017 – 01-Feb 2022
A tentative return to regular livestreams – and I should add now that there is no intention to return to livestreaming as much as seven or eight times per month. But the return of /TheKindaMzkYouLike was rather the obvious choice.
/Tuesday Ten/476/Tracks of the Month/Jan-22
These past few weeks have been a bit of a nightmare away from writing about music (my father has been, and still is, very ill in hospital), and perhaps, giving myself a bit of a distraction in writing about music again is what I need.
/Welcome to the Future/201/Events, Livestreams and new releases 28-Jan 2022
Back to normal on the Friday posts, then, which has evolved over time but remains, at the core, 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future/200/Events, Livestreams and new releases 21-Jan 2022
This is the 200th edition of this post, which has evolved over time but remains, at the core, 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/475/In A Big Country
For the majority of my life, I’ve never really lived in the country. I’ve always been in urban environments, where the nearest green space is a local park, and the only wildlife I got to see were urban birdlife, or urban foxes for the most part.
/Tuesday Ten/Index
My /Tuesday Ten series began in March 2007, initially as an attempt to round up the best tracks of each month for my friends, but swiftly gained a life of its own. This post is to provide a list of all of the /Tuesday Ten entries so far, with links to each. A database of […]
/Welcome To The Future/199/Events, Livestreams and new releases 14-Jan 2022
A chaotic week means a delayed post today, but there’s still a fair bit to cover. In addition, one terrible piece of music news this week was the death of Mike Wells, the mind behind Gridlock, alongside Mike Cadoo. A genuinely progressive artist who arguably changed the direction of industrial music for many, he has […]
/Tuesday Ten/474/Which Side Are You On?
For the first of my subject-based /Tuesday Ten posts in 2022, I’m picking up on a suggestion thread that I did in the weeks before Christmas, and had got me thinking.
/Welcome to the Future/198/Events, Livestreams and 2022 New Releases round-up
Into 2022 and the cold, grey January, and on the first Friday of 2022, it is time for my traditional round-up of what we know about (relevant) new music coming your way in 2022. What do I mean by relevant? Broadly, that means music I might cover here, which to be honest, these days, covers […]
/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.
/DJ/TheKindaMzkYouLike /016 – 02-Jan 2022
The first livestream of 2022 was the return of probably my favourite night to do, but with a difference.
/Countdown/2021/Albums
Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2021 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat the “year” as 01-December to 30-November, to allow me a cut-off point, and to allow this to be done and dusted before Christmas so that […]
/Welcome to the Future/197/Livestreams and new releases 10-Dec 2021
Edging closer to Christmas, and now releases have begun slowing down (most activity is around upcoming releases). /Countdown/2021 continued last Tuesday with Countdown/2021/Tracks, and I’ve finally begun clearing the interview mountain. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.
