Tag: Einstürzende Neubauten
/Tuesday Ten/316/Enjoy The Silence
The first Tuesday Ten of 2018, and I’m starting quietly. Kinda. What is silence in musical terms? Silence is an absence of music, I guess. But wiki has a great […]
/Countdown/2017/Gigs
Some statistics: over 2017, I saw 114 live sets, across 45 days-worth of events (I count festivals by the day, so Infest covers three days-worth of events). Remarkably, by the […]
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 […]
/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/Albums
Week three of the amodelofcontrol.com roundup of 2014, and this is, I guess, the big one. The albums of the year.

Tuesday Ten: 203: By The Sea
This week, I’m finally getting ’round to looking at a subject that I can’t quite believe I haven’t touched on before. There are countless songs about the sea, clearly an […]
/Tuesday Ten/201/The Clock is Ticking
These last few weeks have had a lot of thinking about time and the past. Be that looking at events in the past, anniversaries (of relationships, also of albums, of […]
Tuesday Ten: 137: Videos and 30 Years of MTV
Another bit of a retrospective this week, as I finally get ’round to covering the fact that MTV turned 30 years old on 01-August. As the NME noted a few […]
/Countdown/2010/Gigs
The problem with my gig-going in 2010 wasn’t that I went to too few, or too many – although for various reasons I did miss a number of gigs I […]
Into the Pit: 093: Einstürzende Neubauten – Live at The Forum – 16-October 2010
There are few bands that could justifiably claim that as they pass thirty years of existence as an active and still-recording unit, they remain a source of reference and perhaps […]
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /100-81
I mentioned this last week, and here is where I get started.
Tuesday Ten: 023: Tracks of the Month (October 2007)
The first Tuesday of a new month, so time for a look at my ten tracks of the month for October. The usual mix of new stuff that has caught […]
