/Welcome to the Future /235 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Jan 2023
Another busy week for releases – and new announcements this week. I’ve also added another swathe of events to the listing, too. Links below. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /514 /Smash It Up
Content warning: this post contains songs with descriptions of violence and assault – in some cases graphic and unflinching – and indeed discussion of those songs. This week, I turn to songs about violence. We seem to be living in turbulent times that all too often erupt in violence, but what is interesting here is […]
/Welcome to the Future /234 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 13-Jan 2023
Christmas suddenly feels some time ago already, and we’re now at full tilt into new music for 2023. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /513 /Tracks of the Month /Dec-22
We’ve hurtled into an already chaotic 2023, and the second Tuesday in, it’s time for the first /Tracks of the Month of the new year.
/DJ /A Certain Shade of Green /005 /06-Jan 2023
At some point back in the weeks before Christmas 2020 – and yes, booze might have been involved – as we had an evening watching a Nu-Metal countdown on one of the music channels, we resolved that it might be fun to do a night revolving around that.
/Welcome to the Future /233 /The 2023 releases round-up
Back from a break (mostly!) over Christmas and New Year, 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 […]
/Countdown /2022 /Gigs
Back to writing about the best gigs of the year for the first time in three years. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2022. I went to 36 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three shows), and saw 106 live sets. I saw […]
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /024 /The Second Indie Disco – 27-Dec 2022
It’s that downtime between Christmas and New Year, we didn’t have a lot else to do, so why not Livestream?
/Welcome to the Future /232 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 23-Dec 2022
I continued with my /Countdown /2022 coverage this past week, with the final part (best gigs) to follow on Tuesday. /Welcome to the Future will now take a break until 06-Jan, where I will begin 2023 with the traditional roundup of expected/known releases for the new year. This post is a roundup of (relevant to […]
/Countdown /2022 /Albums
Onto the third 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 I can […]
/Countdown /2022 /Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2022, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2022.
/Welcome to the Future /231 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 09-Dec 2022
I got started with my /Countdown /2022 coverage this past week, with more to come in the next few weeks. In the meantime… 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 […]
/Countdown /2022 /Compilations and re-issues
Welcome to /Countdown/2022 – 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 as is the norm these days, there are a whole lot of reissues coming through.
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /023 /29-Nov 2022
Not quite the last one of the year, as it happens.
/Tuesday Ten /512 /We’re In This Together
The final /Tuesday Ten of 2022 is, at least in part, about togetherness. Over the last few years, the idea of banding together to help, to achieve and make better has in some quarters at least gained traction again.
/Welcome to the Future /230 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 25-Nov 2022
We’re into that pre-Christmas release lull already, it seems, with precious few releases of note this week. I’ll be beginning my roundup of 2022 in early December – look out for more about that soon. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and […]
/Tuesday Ten /511 /11 Miles an Hour
Fifty-nine years ago today, US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, Dallas. Generally seen as a pivotal moment in the second half of the twentieth century, certainly in the context of American history at least, there have been countless theories around his assassination and also “what might have beens” had he not […]
/Welcome to the Future /229 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 18-Nov 2022
Nearing the end of the year now – and thus I’m deep in writing my end of year lists already (coming in December). 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /510 /Climb Ev’ry Mountain
For much of my life, I’ve lived in the hillier areas of this country. From my early years in the surprisingly hilly Medway Towns, to the West and South Yorkshire hills, even the hills of North London. Even now, on the Kent Coast, if I want to go any appreciable distance from my now home, […]
