/Tuesday Ten /655 /Up the Beach
Back in the heat of summer, in early August, I asked about this subject. And while I plan upcoming /Tuesday Tens some months ahead nowadays, even I couldn’t have expected summer to effectively last into October.

/Tuesday Ten /654 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-26
I neglected to mention it last week, but the sudden death of Bruno Kramm of Das Ich after a gig in Spain was really quite shocking. Das Ich weren’t by any stretch a gateway band for me, although I did own a few records and had seen them live once, and they were a fascinating, […]
/Welcome to the Future /305 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 08-May 2026
Playing catch-up every week, with yet more releases to keep up with! 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 […]
/Countdown /Albums /2025
Onto the third week of /Countdown/2025 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 […]
/Welcome To The Future /295 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 05-Sep 2025
It is the first Bandcamp Friday of the autumn, and don’t I know about it, judging on the groaning inbox this morning, and the large number of releases and release announcements recently. Also, the events page has had a significant revamp (links below). This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and […]
/Tuesday Ten /594 /Tracks of the Month /Jun-25
It’s been a funny time in music and entertainment recently, with hysteria around political pronouncements at major events by bands that we’d expect to do so (and thus providing a distraction from the horrors of Gaza in particular), as well as the anti-Trans bullshit that is still being peddled, and a general feeling that it […]
/Welcome To The Future /290 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 13-Jun 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced, with another glut of new releases in the past couple of weeks in particular. There have also been a number of notable deaths in music this week alone: first Sly Stone, the legendary funk/soul band pioneer, then Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys… and […]
/Tuesday Ten /585 /Everything In It’s Right Place
The natural follow-on to last week is to look at being right, as I hurtle towards /Tuesday Ten /600.
/Welcome to the Future /246 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 12-May 2023
Another busy week for new releases, that’s for sure. 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 and events, […]
/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.
/Welcome to the Future /225 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 07-Oct 2022
For the first time in a long time, I’ve missed a couple of weeks of release roundups, so I have an awful lot to cover this week, with three weeks of new releases to feature (various events need adding to the listing, too, these will be added over the weekend). This post is a roundup […]
/Tuesday Ten/492/Tracks of the Month/May-22
As we hurtle through 2022 and crash into summer, here’s the latest set of new music to get you going.
/Welcome to the Future/214/Events, Livestreams and new releases 27-May 2022
A bit of a grim end to the week, really, with the sudden death of Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode announced yesterday (among a number of other notable deaths within about 24 hours). I wasn’t ever the devoted fan that many of my friends still are, but DM has been part of my musical life […]
/Welcome to the Future/173/Livestreams and new releases 07-May 2021
It’s Bandcamp Day again today (although I hear this might be the last one), so again, there are quite a few releases today. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be the order of the […]
/Welcome to the Future/160/Livestreams and new releases 29-Jan 2021
The last Friday of January, daylight is edging into the early evening, and maybe hints of Spring are starting to appear. Lockdown looks like it’s going to go on for a while yet, mind, festivals are beginning to be cancelled for the summer (again), and so livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be […]
/Countdown/2020/Albums
Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2020 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 […]
/Countdown/2020/Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2020, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2020.
/Welcome to the Future/154/Livestreams and new release round-up/04-Dec 2020
Into the last month of this bizarre, weird year – and this weekly release and events roundup keeps on going. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Welcome to the Future/137/Livestreams and new release round-up/31-Jul 2020
We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/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 […]
