/Welcome to the Future /303 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Mar 2025
Life has got in the way a bit lately – again – not least our anniversary holiday, so this is again a few weeks later than planned, and is also chock-full of new release announcements of note. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming […]
/Welcome to the Future /301 /Events, Livestreams and Upcoming Releases for 2026 – 09-Jan 2026
As is traditional at the beginning of each year, I wrap up what is known about new releases for the new year. As always, this comes with a health warning: not all releases will happen, or they may change: what I list here is based on information I’ve seen from official sources. This post is […]
/Welcome to the Future /289 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-May 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced. 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. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music […]
/Tuesday Ten /562 /Everything’s Not Awesome
Maybe I put this one off after asking for suggestions in January because it wasn’t the right time. Maybe, I just knew that there would be a time and a place for it.
/Tuesday Ten /547 /20 Years of amodelofcontrol.com
Yesterday, on 12-February, /amodelofcontrol.com turned twenty years old. It was probably never expected to last too long: but instead, it inspired me to push on and write more, DJ more, and make friends across the world through music.
/Countdown /2023 /Albums
Onto the third week of /Countdown/2023 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 […]
/Countdown /2023 /Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2023 – and the twentieth 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 2023.
/Tuesday Ten /537 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-23
Being away for the second half of September meant that I had a lot of catching up to do last week, hence this month’s /Tracks of the Month post being a little later than usual. In addition, too, I’m now preparing for the usual end of year posts which will come in December. [cardoza_facebook_like_box] /Tuesday […]
/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 […]
/Countdown /2022 /Gigs
Back to writing about the best gigs of the year for the first time in three years. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2022. I went to 36 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three shows), and saw 106 live sets. I saw […]
/Countdown /2022 /Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2022, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2022.
/Memory of a Festival /037 /Cold Waves X
That what started out as a hastily-scheduled event to celebrate the life of Jamie Duffy has turned into a large, multi-day, multi-city festival over the past decade is something of wonder: but what is also great is how it has fostered a wider family of sorts, one of multiple groups that come together from all […]
/Tuesday Ten /505 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-22
Back into the writing saddle, then, as I wrap up the best music of the past month. The write-up of Cold Waves X from Chicago will follow in the next day or two, as it turns out there was an awful lot to say…
/Tuesday Ten /498 /Pump Up The Volume
As I edge ever-closer to the 500th /Tuesday Ten, this week, I’m celebrating volume.
/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 another user on Livejournal, reaches fifteen years of posts.
/Tuesday Ten/477/You Make Me Nervous
This week’s /Tuesday Ten comes with a content warning for discussion of depression and suicide.
/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 […]
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /20-01
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the final part of the best albums 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 albums 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 […]
