/Countdown/2021/Tracks

Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2021, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2021.

/Countdown/2021 /Compilations and re-issues

Welcome to /Countdown/2021 – this year’s wrap-up of the best new music that I’ve heard across the year. I begin as usual, with the best compilations and reissues in no particular order, although it should be noted that this year has more reissues than perhaps usual.

/Welcome to the Future/193/Events, Livestreams and new releases 05-Nov 2021

Now away from the working week for a bit, it has given me time to start catching up. It is, again, Bandcamp Friday today, so along with last week’s releases, there’s an awful lot to cover today. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.

/Welcome to the Future/192/Events, Livestreams and new releases 22-Oct 2021

Too much music, too little time with lots of other things to consider sums up life right now. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.

/Welcome to the Future/180/Livestreams and new releases 02-Jul 2021

Who the fuck knows what happens next, but as it appears that live events will be returning soon in some form in greater numbers, my livestreams like others are beginning to wind down. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting […]

/Welcome to the Future/167/Livestreams and new releases 19-Mar 2021

Another busy week of new music and upcoming announcements – not to mention lots of choice on the Livestream front, too. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be the order of the day, for […]

/Countdown/2020/Tracks

Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2020, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2020.

/Welcome to the Future/150/Livestreams and new release round-up/06-Nov 2020

Back into lockdown, and this weekly release and events roundup reaches /150. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.

/Tuesday Ten/419/Tracks of the Month/Jul-20

Back around to the /Tracks of the Month already, a bit sooner than usual for two reasons – one, last month’s was later than normal because of the way the dates fell, and two, well, you’ll see next week. The usual summer lull – well, in a relative sense – has also allowed me to […]

/Welcome to the Future/136/Livestreams and new release round-up/24-Jul 2020

We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.

/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /80-61

Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the seventh part of the best tracks of the 2010s. This has been an interesting, and memory-laden trip doing this list. I’ve dredged up a few memories, reconnected with a few songs I’d not heard […]

/Tuesday Ten/403/Tracks of the Month/Mar-20

Blimey, even a month is a long time in music, eh? When I wrote /Tuesday Ten/398, there was a gathering storm on the horizon, so to speak, and since then, pretty much everything has ground to a halt unless it happens in your house, or on the internet. But, music is still being released.

/Countdown/2010s/Albums /60-41

Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the third part of the best albums of the 2010s.
