/Tuesday Ten /536 /Letter From America
The USA has inspired polarisation of opinion for as long as I can remember from the other side of the Atlantic (and elsewhere), as policy decisions made in the USA […]

/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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/462/A Time and a Place
This was one of the first suggestion threads where many of the responses really frustrated me. What is a landmark? Let’s check the definition of a landmark: /Tuesday Ten/462/A Time […]
/Tuesday Ten/436/Tiny Changes (The Future)
For the last regular /Tuesday Ten of 2020 – the first year where I’ve posted a new /Tuesday Ten every week from the first Tuesday in January to the last […]
/Tuesday Ten/434/Rock the Vote
Around this time most years, I’ve ended up with political-related posts in my /Tuesday Ten series. But, tired of elections, frankly – even if, as it stands, it looks like […]
/Tuesday Ten/430/Dressed for Success
Not for the first time, today I’m digging back into my original notes for a new /Tuesday Ten. I’ve actually been planning to write about this for years but hadn’t […]
Tuesday Ten: 290: Why Don’t You Get A Job?
I passed seven years working for the same employer recently (by some considerable distance the longest I’ve worked for one company in the two decades that I’ve had jobs), and […]
/Tuesday Ten/282/Poker Face
A good few weeks ago, I was listening to an album and my thoughts came to the idea of songs about winning. But, then, I thought, what about losing? And […]

Over last year – to mark twenty years since I began writing about music – I ran a series of posts looking at the music I was buying and listening […]
/Tuesday Ten/247/London
Yeah, so I’ve kinda looked at this before (see box links), but I’ve never actually delved into songs about the city that is my home. And with it being six […]
/Tuesday Ten/179/Hitchin’ A Ride
I’ve looked at this kind of thing before, but from a different viewpoint (/024/Changing Direction), where bands changed direction decisively for what they would likely protest is “artistic reasons”. I’m […]
/Tuesday Ten/154/Here’s Tom With The Weather
A very British habit – and one of the cliched views of the British from around the world – is, apparently, to talk about the weather incessantly. I’ve never been […]
/Tuesday Ten/125/Numbers
It’s been a week of numbers. What with Daisy and mine’s sixth anniversary, yesterday being a year of me being in my current job, and at least two 40th birthdays […]
/Tuesday Ten /124 /Food & Drink
I was a little surprised, I have to admit, when I realised just how many songs my partner and I could think of that reference, are tenuously linked to, or […]
/Tuesday Ten/118/Advert
For this week’s Tuesday Ten, I’m going back to a list I’ve had on the back burner for bloody ages. That is, music on TV in the form of advertising. […]
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /80-61
Following on from Tuesday, here's part two of my 90s albums rundown. This is fun, even if a little time consuming – and it's reminding me of songs I've not […]
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /120-101
The fifth instalment of this lengthy rundown.
