/Countdown /2023 /Compilations and Re-issues
Welcome to /Countdown/2023 – this year’s wrap-up of the best new music that I’ve heard across the year, and the 20th anniversary of me starting to do such annual roundups (which began on LiveJournal before moving to this site).

/Tuesday Ten/481/Up the Down Escalator

Be that looking at events in the past, anniversaries (of relationships, also of albums, of movements), or celebrating past lives. Needless to say, there are a lot of songs touching on the subject, some perhaps more oblique than others.
Tuesday Ten: 088: Bad Cover Version
Ok, for the return of the Tuesday Ten for 2010, this week is the first of a pair of posts that are companions of sorts. Both of them will be looking at cover versions, but in specific ways. This week, I’m looking at covers where the originals weren’t necessarily bad, but the cover versions are […]
