/Tuesday Ten /551 /Tracks of the Month /Mar 2024
With the end of March and the clocks going forward, we inch into April, hopefully some better weather, and the onset of Spring.
/Tuesday Ten /550 /Caught By The Fuzz
For the 550th Tuesday Ten – almost exactly seventeen years since I began this series – I’m turning my attention to the police.
/Welcome to the Future /268 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 22-Mar 2024
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, […]
/Tuesday Ten /549 /Tracks of the Month /Feb-24
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.
/Welcome to the Future /267 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-Feb 2024
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /548 /Bad Blood
The 20th anniversary of /amodelofcontrol.com last week rather bumped this post back a week.
/Tuesday Ten /547 /20 Years of amodelofcontrol.com
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.
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /033 /07-Feb 2024
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.

/Tuesday Ten /546 /Our House
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.
/Welcome to the Future /266 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 02-Feb 2024
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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /545 /Tracks of the Month /January 2024
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).
/Tuesday Ten /544 /The Old Magic
After the thrill of the new last week, this week I’m looking the other way.
/Welcome to the Future /265 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 19-Jan 2024
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.

/Tuesday Ten /543 /It Must Have Been New
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.
/Click Click /010 /De Staat + CLT DRP – 12-Jan 2024
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 […]
/Click Click /009 /Killing Miranda – 30-Dec 2023
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. [cardoza_facebook_like_box] /Click Click /009 /Killing Miranda /Date /30-Dec 2023 […]
/Welcome to the Future /264 /New Music for 2024
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 […]
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /032 /The Third Indie Disco – 27-Dec 2023
It’s that downtime between Christmas and New Year again, we didn’t have a lot else to do, so why not Livestream?
/Countdown /2023 /Gigs
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 […]
/Countdown /2023 /Albums
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 […]
