/DJ/Guest/095/Deathboy’s Birthday/15-Aug 2019
Another friend’s birthday, another fun set. Tech issues nearly scuppered the whole DJing malarkey, but we got there in the end thanks to Simon’s skills….
/Tuesday Ten/379/Horses In My Dreams
For the first time in a little while, this is a post that had it’s initial gestation in the pub last week. I can’t remember how the subject came up, but within seconds I was getting a barrage of suggestions of songs involving horses, so as usual, it was time to send for the cavalry […]
/Transmission/015/the a-z of industrial/k/part two
Right then, we’re back in the saddle now, and regular editions of the /transmission podcast will now be released once again – broadly bi-weekly, but that may depend on our commitments around the time! Anyway, this week we get through the remainder of the letter “k”, and again with a contentious artist this week, that […]
/Tuesday Ten/378/Are You Gonna Wait Forever
On an average day, I might awaken early, waiting for my alarm to go off. I’ll wait for the kettle to boil, I’ll wait for my work laptop to boot up and load any e-mail that has come in since I last logged in. I’ll wait for the post, I’ll wait until lunchtime. I might […]
/Welcome to the Future/095/Events, gigs and new release round-up/09-Aug 2019
It’s Friday, therefore time for the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects artists and music that I cover here.
/Welcome To The Future/094/Infest 2019 Preview
In less than three weeks time, we’ll be on the train north to Bradford, for our annual pilgrimage to the city for the industrial festival that, since I began attending, I’ve never missed. I’ve lost count of how many friends I’ve made, how many new favourite bands I’ve heard, how many great memories (and the […]

/Tuesday Ten/377/Tracks of the Month/Jul 2019
Another busy month concludes with the best music I’ve been listening to across it. Working from home – and spending a fair amount of my time on calls, rather than my old work which was very different – has rather changed the dynamic of how I listen to music, and arguably I have less time […]

/Tuesday T(w)en(ty)/376/Man on the Moon
Fifty years ago today, three NASA astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins) left the Earth on the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, and four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first men to step onto another body beyond Earth – pretty much the crowning moment of what became known as […]

Right then, we’re back in the saddle now, and regular editions of the /transmission podcast will now be released once again – broadly bi-weekly, but that may depend on our commitments around the time! Anyway, this week we get through the letter “j” and start on “k”, with perhaps a couple of contentious artists this […]
/Talk Show Host/053/Iris
One of the great things about the area of the musical world that I generally write about, is that there has been a surge of really great electronic pop – or synthpop, if you will – in recent times. Many of the protagonists have been new bands, bringing a fresh new feel to a genre […]
/Tuesday Ten/375/An Eye Is Upon You
This has been an unusual one, that I’ve tried to write a few times and shelved. Sometimes you have inspiration, sometimes…you don’t. So I left it for a few months, and returned to it last week to pick up the thread again, and this time? It worked out, so here are ten songs about spying […]

/Tuesday Ten/374/Tracks of the Month/Jun-2019
We’re at the halfway point of the year – or if running on my eligibility criteria for the best of the year, seven months into the 2019 period (I run from 01-Dec to 30-Nov). There’s been tons of great new music, both from notable new artists and returning favourites, across a wide variety of genres […]
/Into the Pit/207/New Blood Tour
A word of warning: in the future, if you see that I’m attending a show in June next year, just know that for the past three or four years now, I’ve been unlucky enough to be gig-bound on the hottest day of that month. Gigging indoors in the heat is never fun, of course – […]

/Tuesday Ten/373/Summer’s Kiss
Just a year ago, London was literally broiling in a weeks-on-end heatwave that left tempers flaring as we realised, once again, that this city really doesn’t do well in heat. This summer has been rather different so far, after a very wet June that has rather left us miserable.
/Transmission/013/the a-z of industrial/i/part two
After a rather longer break than expected – where life and other issues have got in the way – here’s the thirteenth part of Transmission, the a-z of industrial. This continues our look at industrial music, and is this week continuing with another set of bands beginning with “i”. It was actually recorded back in […]
