/Tuesday Ten/484/Fifteen Years
This week, what started out as a quick round-up of the best music I was listening to at the time (not necessarily new music initially), thanks to a request from […]
/Tuesday Ten/479/Stormy Clouds
It will not have escaped the notice of British and north-west European readers that there’s been a bit of Weather this week. Indeed, since the Met Office introduced names for […]
/Tuesday Ten/469/Four Letter Word
I conclude – well, kinda – the short song title series with four-letter-word song titles, and this one took a lot of work.

/Tuesday Ten/395/Gods and Monsters (songs of mythology)

/Countdown/2019/Tracks
Onto week two of /Countdown/2019 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 […]

/Tuesday Ten/363/How to Disappear Completely
Writing these Tuesday Tens, sometimes they go off in completely different directions than I’d first intended. Aside from the Tracks of the Month posts, the “subject” posts are either ones […]
Into The Pit: 204: Covenant: 17-March 2018
I’ve been meaning to write about a few of the gigs I’ve attended this year, but various things – not least my working day and other commitments – have rather […]
/Tuesday Ten/322/Protection
This week, I’m turning my hand to the defence of self, or personal protection. This can manifest itself in physical or emotional forms, and can be good or bad for […]

Part three of the round-up of 2016 comes to you from the final week of our honeymoon (from the warm sunshine of the Dominican Republic). Sorry, not sorry.
