/Tuesday Ten/341/Music and Geekery – From Ash to Zep/First Presented at Nine Worlds 2018
For the first time the other Friday, I took /amodelofcontrol.com on the road. Sure, I’ve done a semi-regular podcast for the past year or so (next one before Infest, it […]
/Countdown/2017/Gigs
Some statistics: over 2017, I saw 114 live sets, across 45 days-worth of events (I count festivals by the day, so Infest covers three days-worth of events). Remarkably, by the […]

Into the Pit: 186: Arnocorps – Live at The Underworld – 02-August 2014
Heroic. Ballsy. The Greatest Band of All Time. The six-strong band known as Arnocorps are not short on confidence, that’s for sure.
/Tuesday Ten/206/Lies
The subject of lies and deception, perhaps not unexpectedly, unleashed a torrent of potential songs for this week – even if I covered Betrayal a few years ago. Indeed there […]
/Tuesday Ten/175/Science Fiction – Double Feature
Time again to delve into an area I’ve touched upon before but in different ways. Back in the distant past I’ve looked at songs about space (/Tuesday Ten/079), and robots […]
/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 […]
