/Welcome to the Future /298 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 07-Nov 2025
An avalanche of new releases this past few weeks, making my upcoming end of year lists even harder to compile… 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 I’ve posted […]
/Tuesday Ten /608 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-25
Blimey, 2025 is flashing by. I’m now just two months out from /Countdown /2025 beginning (the best music of the year on /amodelofcontrol.com), and so I’m now seriously considering what the best of the year actually is.
/Welcome To The Future /295 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 05-Sep 2025
It is the first Bandcamp Friday of the autumn, and don’t I know about it, judging on the groaning inbox this morning, and the large number of releases and release announcements recently. Also, the events page has had a significant revamp (links below). This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and […]

After a much-needed break at the beginning of the year from writing, it’s time for a bumper /Tracks of the Month that covers notable music from the past couple of months (and there’s a lot of it).

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 […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /160-141
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the third 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/2019/Albums
Onto week three of /Countdown/2019 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 I can take […]
/Welcome to the Future/102/Events, gigs and new release round-up/11-Oct 2019

/Tuesday Ten/379/Horses In My Dreams
For the first time in a little while, this is a post that had it’s initial gestation in the pub last week. I can’t remember how the subject came up, but within seconds I was getting a barrage of suggestions of songs involving horses, so as usual, it was time to send for the cavalry […]
/Tuesday Ten/377/Tracks of the Month/Jul 2019
Another busy month concludes with the best music I’ve been listening to across it. Working from home – and spending a fair amount of my time on calls, rather than my old work which was very different – has rather changed the dynamic of how I listen to music, and arguably I have less time […]
/Welcome to the Future/092/Events, gigs and new release round-up/26-Jul 2019
It’s Friday, therefore time for 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 artists and music that I cover here.
/Tuesday Ten/301/Oh My Goth!
I made the mistake of asking “What is Goth to you” on Facebook recently (after being asked the same question by French journalists at Whitby, in my role as (co-)captain of Real Gothic FC). Over 700 comments later, we were still no closer to the answer.
Tuesday Ten: 230: Tracks of the Month (April 2015)
Another month, another round-up of the various new music that has come my way recently.
/Tuesday Ten/196/Sleep
Once again, recently, I’ve been struggling with insomnia, something that judging on some mornings on social networks that quite a few of my friends suffer from too. I go through phases like this – like many, I’m sure, connected to stress or work, or both – and indeed during much of my student days I […]
Tuesday Ten: 157: Tracks of the Month (June 2012)
Here are ten more songs and artists you should hear about, that have been rocking my world over the past month.
Into the Pit: 136: She Wants Revenge – Live at O2 Academy Islington – 17-June 2012
Being dicked around by venue staff before even getting through the door is never a great start, but the annoyance it caused resulted in me being in just the right mood to watch Cold In Berlin. And then, to have me question exactly how I hadn’t caught them before.
