It was a short run, but the weekly nights in Huddersfield came to an end the week I moved to Sheffield. They would continue monthly for a little while longer.
/DJ/tcf/v2/001/22-June 2004
The second generation of tcf, if you will, began at The Nelson in June 2004, and began a near-weekly run for quite some time.
/DJ/tcf/v1/013/21-June 2004
Edition thirteen.
/DJ/tcf/v1/012/14-June 2004
Another slow start.
/DJ/tcf/v1/011/07-Jun 2004
A hot night, after an unexpected week off the previous week.
/DJ/tcf/v1/008/10-May 2004
Another not-so busy night.
DJ: Guest: 002: Necroscope – 06-May 2004
My first guest slot in Huddersfield, standing in for a friend at the-then more “classic” metal night Necroscope.
/DJ/tcf/v1/007/03-May 2004
Bank Holiday Mondays – proof that they aren’t necessarily a good night to put something on, on.
/DJ/tcf/v1/006/26-April 2004
Sixth night, visitors from out of town, things picking up.
/DJ/tcf/v1/004/12-April 2004
The fourth night of tcf at the West Riding. Back to just me again, and maybe by this point there was already evidence of widening tastes.
/DJ/tcf/v1/001/22-March 2004
My very first DJ set, which seems like a lifetime ago. This was in what was then Huddersfield’s rock pub, The West Riding (now long gone). I had been complaining about the lack of decent music (and DJing) in past weeks. So earlier in the year, I was challenged to do it myself.
/Countdown /2025 /Compilations & Re-issues
Welcome to /Countdown/2025 – this year’s wrap-up of the best new music that I’ve heard across the year, and the 22nd year of me starting to do such annual roundups (which began on LiveJournal before moving to this site). I begin as usual, with the best compilations and reissues in no particular order, although it […]
/Welcome to the Future /289 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-May 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced. 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 music […]
/Tuesday Ten /586 /Tracks of the Month /Apr-25
Back from a busy Bank Holiday weekend, and it turns out, a busy April for new music.
/Countdown /2024 /Gigs
The final part of /Countdown 2024 sees me looking at the best gigs of the year. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2024. 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 110 live sets. I saw 105 […]
/Countdown /2024 /Albums
Onto the third week of /Countdown/2024 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 /2023 /Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2023 – and the twentieth year that I’ve done this – which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2023.
/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 […]
/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 […]
