A seriously busy month – moving house does that to you – has meant I’ve got four weeks of releases and new release announcements to catch up on. 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, […]
2024 has started quickly with a whole host of release announcements, new songs and a variety of surprising tours coming up: so unsurprisingly, I’ve got a lot of tracks to cover with twenty featured (again) this month.
Life is exceptionally busy right now (moving house this weekend, in fact), so this is the first chance I’ve had to do one of these round-ups in a few weeks. In the meantime, /amodelofcontrol.com turned twenty… This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
The 20th anniversary of /amodelofcontrol.com last week rather bumped this post back a week.
Yesterday, on 12-February, /amodelofcontrol.com turned twenty years old. It was probably never expected to last too long: but instead, it inspired me to push on and write more, DJ more, and make friends across the world through music.
At least for now, this will be the last livestream I do: driven by the fact that we’re moving house, and the new house won’t have robust enough internet for livestreaming for at least a few months. /DJ/TheKindaMzkYouLike/033 /Date /07-Feb 2024 /Location /twitch.tv/amodelofcontrol /DJs /DJ:traumahound /Genres /Alternative /90s /Grunge /Noise Rock /Shoegaze /Electronic /Post-Rock /Americana […]
This past week, my wife and I achieved something that for a good period of our relationship, we feared might be out of reach entirely: we bought a house.
The first Bandcamp Friday of 2024 makes for a busy week of releases… 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 […]
After a much-needed break at the beginning of the year from writing, it’s time for a bumper /Tracks of the Month that covers notable music from the past couple of months (and there’s a lot of it).
After the thrill of the new last week, this week I’m looking the other way.
Back into the swing of things now, with various new and upcoming releases now in the can for 2024. 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. […]
After a bit of a longer break than usual post-Christmas, I resume my /Tuesday Ten series as /amodelofcontrol.com nears the twenty-year mark.
Back in 2021, in the midst of lockdown, Dutch band De Staat started to think differently. After six albums and a moderate level of success – helped by viral hit Witch Doctor in particular – attention turned to releasing songs attributed to colours as states of mind. Red for the dark side, yellow for the […]
A pretty intense thirty-six hours of travelling across the southeast – I covered well beyond 200 miles without ever really intending to – saw me finish my Saturday at the Cart & Horses in Maryland (Stratford), to catch the second gig by the reformed Killing Miranda. /Click Click /009 /Killing Miranda /Date /30-Dec 2023 /Venue […]
After what feels like a surprisingly short break, as is traditional I begin the year with a roundup of new music either confirmed or likely to come your way this year. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this […]
It’s that downtime between Christmas and New Year again, we didn’t have a lot else to do, so why not Livestream?
The final part of /Countdown 2023 sees me looking at the best gigs of the year. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2023. I went to 38 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three shows), and saw 125 live sets. I saw 122 […]
Onto the third week of /Countdown/2023 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 I can […]
Well into December, and the /Countdown /2023 roundup is in full swing. This will be the last release roundup until the first week of January, when I’ll be looking at upcoming releases for the new year. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2023 – and the twentieth year that I’ve done this – which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2023.
