Continuing the /amodelofcontrol.com review of 2024 – and the twenty-first year that I’ve done this – which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2024.

/Welcome to the Future /267 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-Feb 2024
Life is exceptionally busy right now (moving house this weekend, in fact), so this is the first chance I’ve had to do one of these round-ups in a few weeks. In the meantime, /amodelofcontrol.com turned twenty… This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
/Countdown /2023 /Gigs
The final part of /Countdown 2023 sees me looking at the best gigs of the year. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2023. I went to 38 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three shows), and saw 125 live sets. I saw 122 […]
/Countdown/2020/Albums
Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2020 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future/148/Livestreams and new release round-up/23-Oct 2020
Sliding back towards another lockdown, it seems, but there is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Tuesday Ten/424/Tracks of the Month/Aug-20
Into September, and back to normal – whatever normal is these days – in the days post-Stay-In-Fest. That online festival was surprisingly great fun, and I stuck around for the whole thing. I DJed early on (my setlist: /DJ/Guest/098), and had a number of interviews with bands broadcast, all of which will be uploaded and […]
/Welcome to the Future/140/Livestreams and new release round-up/28-Aug 2020
We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /100-81
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the sixth 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/103/Events, gigs and new release round-up/18-Oct 2019
Back to the usual routine of weekly Friday posts, containing new music or events to consider. This is the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up, of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects […]
/Welcome to the Future/096/Events, gigs and new release round-up/22-Aug 2019
A busy couple of weeks – and the fact that Infest begins tomorrow – means that this week I’m posting a day earlier. This is the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up, of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods […]
/Countdown/2016/Tracks
Part two of my 2016 round-up is being posted from Los Angeles, so hello from there.
Tuesday Ten: 264: Tracks of the Month (June 2016)
These are turbulent times in the UK at least at the moment – with the prospect of choppy waters elsewhere too in 2016 – and it has rather been sapping my will to write, among other things.
/Countdown/2014/Albums
Week three of the amodelofcontrol.com roundup of 2014, and this is, I guess, the big one. The albums of the year.
/Countdown/2014/Tracks
Here we go, then, with the run-down of the best tracks of 2014 – according to me, anyway. 2014 has been an odd year, as friends will know – life has rather got in the way in a number of respects, which has cut down the amount of writing I’ve been able to do, but […]
Tuesday Ten: 205: Tracks of the Month (June 2014)
A month without too many other posts, but that’s mainly because I’ve been so damned busy. Now begins the catch-up.
