The latest fortnightly update. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/477/You Make Me Nervous
This week’s /Tuesday Ten comes with a content warning for discussion of depression and suicide.
/Tuesday Ten/468/3 Feet High and Rising
Back on my current series this week, as I move onto three-letter song titles. This was where things got easier.
/Tuesday Ten/443/Where The Wild Roses Grow
Very occasionally at this time of year – and I’ve done this less than I thought I had – I turn to a subject that might have something to do […]
/Tuesday Ten/425/Smokers Reflect
I gave up smoking in around 2001 – having been a smoker through my teens and through University, only giving up when my girlfriend at the time insisted I did […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /80-61
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the seventh part of the best tracks of the 2010s. […]
/Tuesday Ten/404/Not Found
In what I think is a first – or at least the first time in a long time – I was messaged about a suggestion for a /Tuesday Ten recently […]
/Countdown/2019/Gigs
Some statistics for my gig-going in 2019. I went to 53 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three […]
/Tuesday Ten/367/It’s Oh So Quiet

/Tuesday Ten/327/Only Happy When It Rains
As we finally sweep out of a long winter, with the days getting longer at last, and the shoots of new growth visible, a cautious optimism returns. Part of that […]
Tuesday Ten: 286: When I Grow Up

Tuesday Ten: 269: Tracks of the Month (August 1996)
Onto part seven of my 1996 roundup. As a reminder, I’m marking twenty years of writing about music (my writing long pre-dates this website going live) across this year with […]
/Tuesday Ten/268/Notable People in Song
I’ve mentioned before that I have a notes file (saved in multiple locations) that I’ve used since I started this Tuesday Ten series back in 2007. As a result, I […]
/Tuesday Ten/219/Outros
One of the interesting things about writing this series is that occasionally one post (and not necessarily at the time of writing it!) will inspire another, and then will have […]
/Countdown/2014/Gigs
This year: 170 bands, 57 days worth of gigs. Five festivals, three countries, eight cities/towns. From venues holding thousands to those holding tens. Due to personal issues and, frankly, being […]
/Countdown/2014 /Compilations and reissues
Finally, in December, I can start the process of seeing the back of 2014. But before it does end, here on amodelofcontrol.com it is time to run down the year […]
/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 […]
