/Welcome to the Future/202/Events, Livestreams and new releases 04-Feb 2022
Bandcamp Friday is back, but this time it feels like a lot of artists were prepared in advance (I’ve certainly not had the usual avalanche of notifications that I usually […]
/Tuesday Ten/456/Danger! High Voltage!
Perhaps not for the first time, this week I’m wondering how exactly I’ve left it this long to cover a subject. It is very much one of those things that […]
/Transmission/014/the a-z of industrial/j/k/part one
Right then, we’re back in the saddle now, and regular editions of the /transmission podcast will now be released once again – broadly bi-weekly, but that may depend on our […]
/Tuesday Ten/344/Little Arithmetics
Are you ready for a little addition? Maybe some subtraction? Or I can just split the difference with you as we circle around a subject that can get very complex […]
/Tuesday Ten/334/Pictures of You
This week is all about repetit… oh wait, that was last week on /333/Repetition, sorry. In a change from the originally planned programming (I will post the Tuesday Ten about […]
/Tuesday Ten/333/Joy In Repetition
This week, as the Tuesday Ten series reaches a repeating number in the form of 333, I will now attempt this week’s post without repetition, deviation, or hesitation. Actually, maybe […]
/Countdown/2017 /Compilations and Re-issues
Welcome to the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2017, which begins this week. Over this and the next three Tuesdays, I’ll be rounding up the best music of the year in various […]
Tuesday Ten: 312: Connected
Despite the all-pervading influence that the internet has over our lives nowadays – pretty much any information we need, many purchases, interacting with Government at almost any level, not to […]
Tuesday Ten: 292: Tracks of the Month (April 2017)
It has been another busy week gathering and writing content at amodelofcontrol.com, and there will be a few posts in the next couple of weeks as a result. The first […]
/Tuesday Ten/289/European Me
I toyed with the idea of a post celebrating Europe last summer around the referendum vote, but frankly, I was too damned down about the whole thing to even consider […]
/Tuesday Ten/249/Communication Breakdown (Telephones and Music)
Yesterday marked fifteen years since I began my career working in Mobile Telecoms. Back in February 2001, things were very different in my life. I was recovering from a nasty […]
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /60-41
I actually started this 80s rundown a couple of years back, but life and other things have rather got in the way. So, a little bit of spare time has […]
Tuesday Ten: 199: As Seen On TV
The television appearance is an important part of the promotional armoury. Not a video (I’ve covered these in various posts before), but simply a live* rendition of a current song […]
/Countdown/2013/Gigs
After last year’s exhausting run of gigs, 2013 was even crazier. I saw 66 days of gigs – seeing nearly 160 live sets in the process, in three countries, six […]
/Tuesday Ten/174/Live Albums
So…I’ve looked at the best gigs, live venues, and gigs at the London Astoria, bands at Infest, bands I’ve *not* seen live…but I’ve never had a look at live albums, […]
/Tuesday Ten/167/I Get Around
This month – January 2013 – marks an important transport anniversary, the 150th anniversary of the first London Underground line, therefore the 150th anniversary of the first underground system in […]
Into the Pit: 156: Kraftwerk – Live at K20-Grabbe Halle Düsseldorf – 16-January 2013
There are your regular gigs, and then there are gigs that feel like something a little more special. Gigs that are worth going out of your way for.
Tuesday Ten: 158: Concept Albums
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that over the years, there aren’t a great many times where I could honestly say that I haven’t rolled […]
Tuesday Ten: 152: Repackage, remaster, reissue
I’ve looked at band reunions before (144: Back For Good?), but I’ve not looked at the glut of album reissues, remasters and other ways that record labels have found to […]
