/Welcome to the Future /259 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Oct 2023
We’re nearing the end of the year, which means I’m now considering the best of 2023, and releases for the new year are now beginning to filter through too,. 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future /254 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 18-Aug 2023
One week to Infest, and it’s time to start preparing. In the meantime, here’s the handful of releases mentioned this past week. 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 […]
/Countdown/2021/Albums
Onto the third and final 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 […]
/Countdown/2021/Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2021, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2021.
/Welcome to the Future/186/Livestreams, Events and new releases 27-Aug 2021
The dawning of the August Bank Holiday should mean we’re heading north to Bradford once again, but the current state of things means that – even though we did have the chance to get some of the limited tickets – we reluctantly decided that staying home and watching Stay-In-Fest from the comfort of our own […]
/Tuesday Ten/460/Tracks of the Month (Jul-21)
A week later than usual, thanks to a busy summer, but I got there in the end – here’s this month’s tracks of the month.
/Welcome to the Future/177/Livestreams and new releases 04-Jun 2021
The weather has improved, Livestreams are back from me, (still) who knows what the future holds. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be the order of the day, for now, still, so I continue […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /60-41
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the eighth 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 […]
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /40-21
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the fourth part of the best albums of the 2010s.
/Countdown/2018/Tracks
Onto week two of Countdown: 2018 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best tracks of the year. These might be the singles, they might be album tracks, they might be one-offs. But all of them are songs I love in one way or another, and they aren’t all necessarily songs that fall […]

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: 323: Tracks of the Month (February 2018)
At least for now, I’ve pulled forward the tracks of the month posts by a week to the last Tuesday of the Month from the first, as that suits my posting schedule a bit better at the moment (and it will also avoid posting over the Easter and Whitby weekends, too). The intention hasn’t changed, […]

/Countdown/2015/Albums
This week, on part three, I turn my attention to the best albums of the year. I seem to say it every year, but really – 2015 has been an extraordinary year for alternative music, you’ve just got to have been looking in the right places to find some of it. Not all of it […]
/Countdown/2015/Tracks
Week two of the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2015, and it’s onto the Best Tracks.
Tuesday Ten: 236: Tracks of the Month (July 2015)
As we hurtle headlong through the summer – it’s my birthday next weekend, and Infest just three short weeks after that – it is time already for another roundup of the tracks of the month, and I have to admit I’m already starting to consider what might be making the end of year lists – […]
