/Tuesday Ten /546 /Our House
This past week, my wife and I achieved something that for a good period of our relationship, we feared might be out of reach entirely: we bought a house.

/Welcome to the Future /256 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 08-Sep 2023
An unexpected heatwave this week has reduced activity perhaps, but here are this week’s new releases, things to look forward to and the usual updated events listing. 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future /252 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 21-Jul 2023
We might be in the height of the summer months, but attention is already turning to the autumn releases. 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 recently. […]
/Tuesday Ten/491/When Will I Be Famous?
After what is these days a rare week off from /Tuesday Ten posts, I’m back this week with one looking at the pressures of fame.
/Welcome to the Future/194/Events, Livestreams and new releases 19-Nov 2021
Another update covering the past two weeks, and it’s another busy time as everyone tries to get their releases out before the Christmas rush. Upcoming on this site will be /Countdown/2021 in early December, as well as a few held-over interviews from earlier in the year. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new […]
/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/181/Livestreams and new releases 16-Jul 2021
As I’ve noted previously livestreams like others are beginning to wind down. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. There are still some things going on, as well as the usual slew of releases, so I continue to wrap up both, as well […]
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /100-81
The additional downtime at the moment has had one or two benefits for me – more of a chance to get my head down and get a few outstanding posts completed. I’m painfully aware that aside from regular /Tuesday Ten posts (and /Tuesday Ten/402 will follow tomorrow), I’ve not been posting as much as I’d […]
Welcome to the Future: 079: Events, gigs and new release round-up 12-April 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.
/Countdown/2018/Albums
Onto week three of /Countdown/2018 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/351/You Think You’re A Man (Toxic Masculinity)
I’ve long thought about posting on this subject, but I genuinely didn’t know where to start – but the impetus came after the recent confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, as yet another set of abuse allegations appeared to get brushed aside for political expediency, despite the detail of the allegations suggesting […]
Memory of a Festival: 029: All Points East presents Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
The last day of the ten day period of All Points East at Victoria Park was also my first ever attendance at one of the festivals in that park. Like my own “home” park Finsbury Park (I live within 100m of it), it is extensively used for live music over the summer period, which probably […]
