/Tuesday Ten/469/Four Letter Word
I conclude – well, kinda – the short song title series with four-letter-word song titles, and this one took a lot of work.

/Tuesday Ten/386/The Way We Used To
In a year that has already been a tough one for so many reasons, the loss of my father-in-law just recently has hit us hard. It wasn’t exactly unexpected, but the circumstances of it meant that things happened very fast. My wife did get to him in time and spent the last hours with him, […]
Tuesday Ten: 136: Tracks of the Month (July 2011)
The first TT for a few weeks, and it is already back to my tracks of the month.
Tuesday Ten: 105: Tracks of the Month (June 2010)
Halfway through 2010, and it’s time for another roundup.
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /100-81
Back in the mists of time (in other words, back in 2009), I did a rundown of – according to me – the best songs and albums of the past decade, and then followed it up with similar treatment of the 90s. Although, I only ever got the best songs done.
Memory of a Festival: 008: Damnation Festival 2009
This year’s variant was in the same location as last year’s very busy one, but with some much-needed changes to the way things were run.

/Countdown/2008/Gigs
So, for the last part of my run-down of my 2008 musical highlights, here are my top ten gigs of the year. When compiling the list, I realised I haven’t actually been to anywhere near as many gigs as I thought I had been this year. Still, only two (Ladytron and Ministry, since you ask) […]
Into the Pit: 071: Anathema – Live at Carling Academy Sheffield – 06-November 2008
Support act Demians, who I’d heard glowing things about from others previously, were an interesting proposition. At least a partly-French band, they are what could probably be called one of the modern faces of Prog Rock. Lengthy songs with an epic scope, that didn’t always work entirely but left me with a positive impression, particularly […]
Tuesday Ten: 055: Tracks of the Month (October 2008)
It feels like a long time since I last did one of these. This week it is time for my usual monthly rundown of my top ten tracks from the past month or so. I struggled for a list for this month, too. Any suggestions for new music I should be listening to or hunting […]
