/Welcome to the Future /297 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 17-Oct 2025
A few more weeks closer to the end of the year, and we’re now starting to see new releases for 2026 announced already… 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 /603 /Tracks of the Month /Aug-25
September has arrived down here on the coast with a lot of rain, and intermittent sunshine: and with my hop plants due to harvest in the coming week or two, it definitely feels like autumn is here. Autumn also means the usual deluge of new releases, so this week’s /Tracks of the Month has expanded […]
/Welcome to the Future /293 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 08-Aug 2025
A quieter release period this time around, although a good number of autumn releases are currently being announced. Next week I’ll be at the relocated Infest in Manchester, for my 25th visit to the festival (including two online versions) – expect coverage on /amodelofcontrol after the event. In the meantime, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches […]
/Welcome to the Future/203/Events, Livestreams and new releases 11-Feb 2022
Another busy week of releases and announcements, as I try to keep up… The post, then, 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future/198/Events, Livestreams and 2022 New Releases round-up
Into 2022 and the cold, grey January, and on the first Friday of 2022, it is time for my traditional round-up of what we know about (relevant) new music coming your way in 2022. What do I mean by relevant? Broadly, that means music I might cover here, which to be honest, these days, covers […]
/Tuesday Ten/473/Tracks of the Month/Dec-21
A new year, and a new look for my posts on /amodelofcontrol.com, for the most part, a case of tidying up things and getting a cleaner style.
/Welcome to the Future/197/Livestreams and new releases 10-Dec 2021
Edging closer to Christmas, and now releases have begun slowing down (most activity is around upcoming releases). /Countdown/2021 continued last Tuesday with Countdown/2021/Tracks, and I’ve finally begun clearing the interview mountain. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /80-61
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the seventh part of the best tracks of the 2010s. This has been an interesting, and memory-laden trip doing this list. I’ve dredged up a few memories, reconnected with a few songs I’d not heard […]
Welcome to the Future: 058: Events, gigs and new release round-up 05-October 2018
Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.
/Tuesday Ten/342/Tracks of the Month/Aug 2018
Infest is over (if you missed it, read more at /Memory of a Festival/030), summer is beginning to ebb away as we move into September and autumn, and we’re hit with the usual deluge of new material as the autumn release schedules kick into life.
Welcome to the Future: 052: Events, gigs and new release round-up 17-August 2018
Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.
Welcome to the Future: 031: Events, gigs and new release round-up 02-March 2018
Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.
/Countdown/2015/Tracks
Week two of the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2015, and it’s onto the Best Tracks.
Memory of a Festival: 025: Cold Waves IV
After an epic holiday in Chicago – ostensibly to do Cold Waves and catch up with old friends – last year (review in the box), there wasn’t ever really any question that we wouldn’t make it back to Chicago again – and so a year on, here we were once again, in blazing September sunshine […]
Tuesday Ten: 232: Tracks of the Month (May 2015)
Been a bit of a quiet month on amodelofcontrol.com, as other parts of life have got in the way. But things are now ramping up again, with a number of posts and reviews to come.
Memory of a Festival: 023: Cold Waves III
In the annals of crazy plans by me, this one was up there with Festival Kinetik 4.0 in 2011, where my friend Tim and I headed to Ottawa and then Montreal for a heavy, heavy week of music, drinking and sightseeing. Doing Cold Waves III came up from similar origins – a lineup too good […]
Into the Pit: 171: Author & Punisher – Birthdays N16 – 12-May 2013
The last gig of a bit of a frantic period at the end of April into early May, before a couple of weeks off from gigging, this was a hastily arranged, last minute attendance. I had a ticket for the A&P show earlier in the week, but the announcement of this show allowed me to […]
/Countdown/2012/Albums
As I noted last week, 2012 really was a good year for music, as far as I was concerned, including a number of new discoveries.
Tuesday Ten: 162: Tracks of the Month (August 2012)
Another month gone already? Time for another ten tracks you should hear, then.
