/Tuesday Ten /507 /Some Like It Hot
Fancy a brew? The nights are drawing in, it’s getting cooler, and thus hot drinks become the desired thing for many on more occasions. That said, I drink tea regardless of the time of year.
/Tuesday Ten /506 /We Care
Back to regular /Tuesday Ten postings, then, and this week I’ve moved on to something of an emotional subject: to care or not to care.
/Welcome to the Future /225 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 07-Oct 2022
For the first time in a long time, I’ve missed a couple of weeks of release roundups, so I have an awful lot to cover this week, with three weeks of new releases to feature (various events need adding to the listing, too, these will be added over the weekend). This post is a roundup […]
/Memory of a Festival /037 /Cold Waves X
That what started out as a hastily-scheduled event to celebrate the life of Jamie Duffy has turned into a large, multi-day, multi-city festival over the past decade is something of wonder: but what is also great is how it has fostered a wider family of sorts, one of multiple groups that come together from all […]
/Tuesday Ten /505 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-22
Back into the writing saddle, then, as I wrap up the best music of the past month. The write-up of Cold Waves X from Chicago will follow in the next day or two, as it turns out there was an awful lot to say…
/Tuesday Ten /504 /Fly Me Away
By the time you likely read this, I’ll be in the air to Chicago, on my first flights since literally just before the pandemic fully bit hard.
/Welcome to the Future /224 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 16-Sep 2022
Quickly into mid-September already, and /amodelofcontrol.com will be away in Chicago next week, covering Cold Waves X (expect the usual report and photos, and potentially some content on FB/Instagram along the way). First up, though, here’s the new releases and suchlike from the past two weeks. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this […]
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /021 – 13-Sep 2022
A quiet week, most entertainment on TV deferred? Time for another livestream.
/Tuesday Ten /503 /Tracks of the Month /Aug-22
As we edge into September, we’re looking this week at the last tracks from what has been a long, hot summer.
/Welcome to the Future /223 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 02-Sep 2022
Infest has passed in the inevitable flash, and now we’re already into September, the usual busy Autumn release schedule is looming fast. 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 […]
/Memory of a Festival /036 /Infest 2022
One of the obvious casualties of COVID since early 2020 was live music, both in the form of gigs, and festivals. For many, both 2020 and 2021 were almost entirely devoid of the kind of communal joy that these events can bring, and parts of my life certainly felt that bit emptier without them – […]
/DJ /Circling Overland – Infest Special /003 /23-Aug 2022
With Infest coming this weekend, I dusted down the virtual decks and did an Infest preview set, that stretched out to nearly three-and-a-half hours.
/Tuesday Ten /502 /Whistle While You Work
Earworms. My brain is often like a giant jukebox, with a regular parade of earworms playing when I’m not otherwise listening to music, and just recently there’s been a few that have involved whistling at one point or another.
/Welcome to the Future /222 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 19-Aug 2022
Just one week to Infest, and while we wait, here’s this week’s new release roundup. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /501 /Infest 2022 Preview
In ten days time, and a couple of years later than originally expected, I will be attending my twentieth Infest. I first went along thanks to the invite from a friend to most of Infest 2000, when I discovered a particular love for In Strict Confidence, and I was so hooked that from then on […]
/DJ /Guest /101 /Church of Madness Vs DJ:Traumahound & DJ Source-(E:) /Reading /13-Aug 2022
In the works for some time, this was my first “in person” DJing since February 2020, and my first guest DJ appearance in some time, too. It was good to be back.
/Welcome to the Future /221 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 12-Aug 2022
Well into August already, and here’s this week’s new release roundup. Anyway. 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 new […]
/Tuesday Ten /500 /Tellin’ Stories
In a happy coincidence, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches post number 500 on my birthday: and having checked back, I’ve never posted a /Tuesday Ten on my birthday.
/Memory of a Festival /035 /Goth City 6 /Leeds /07-10 Jul 2022
It’s been a long time since I was last at any kind of festival in person. The last one I went to was the all-dayer 10 Ten Years of Chaos in February 2020 (/Memory of a Festival/034), and the last multi-day festival was Infest 2019 (/Memory of a Festival/033) – so with COVID still looming, […]
/Tuesday Ten /499 /Tracks of the Month /Jul-22
Already into August, and planning now begins for a number of festivals coming up. In the meantime, here are the best tracks of the past month.
