/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 /281 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 13-Dec 2024
The final release roundup of 2024, before I complete the wrap of the year. The next one of these will be on the first Friday in January, looking what music is coming your way in 2025. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
/Welcome to the Future /277 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Sep 2024
A lot to catch up on for September so far. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /494 /Now There’s Nothing
I can’t recall where this one first came up, but it might have been thanks to hearing a song that triggered the thought. Anyway, this week is about nothing.
/Welcome to the Future/201/Events, Livestreams and new releases 28-Jan 2022
Back to normal on the Friday posts, then, which has evolved over time but remains, at the core, 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future/198/Events, Livestreams and 2022 New Releases round-up
Into 2022 and the cold, grey January, and on the first Friday of 2022, it is time for my traditional round-up of what we know about (relevant) new music coming your way in 2022. What do I mean by relevant? Broadly, that means music I might cover here, which to be honest, these days, covers […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /20-01
Completing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the last 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 […]
/Transmission/019/the a-z of industrial/m/part two
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a second look at the letter M.
/Tuesday Ten/369/Something I Can Never Have
Everyone has someone, I suspect, that they loved and lost, or loved without ever being able to express it properly. I certainly have in the distant past but have no intention of talking about that here. But the idea of unrequited love – as this is the subject of Tuesday Ten: 369 – is something […]
Memory of a Festival: 032: Black Celebration
Back in the mists of time, there used to be a steady stream of all-day “festival” events in the London goth/industrial scene. There was Gotham, there was Black Celebration, and probably a few more that I’ve rather forgotten about. They often had a good mix of bands, to appeal to the widest group possible, and […]
/Memory of a Festival/030/Infest 2018
Twenty years of a festival existing is nothing to be sniffed at. Sure, bigger festivals have existed much longer (Reading dates back into the sixties, while Glastonbury is a few years younger), but in the current crowded festival environment, a smaller festival lasting twenty years is an extraordinary achievement. Particularly when the twentieth edition is […]
Welcome To The Future: 050: Infest 2018 Preview
As we creep out of July and into August, it is usual that my thoughts begin to turn to two things – my birthday, and Infest. And as it happens this year, it is one of two important milestones. I turn 40, and then two weeks or so later, Infest turns 20.
/Tuesday Ten/338/With a Little Help from My Friends
One of my closest, and oldest, friends comes to visit this weekend. We met by chance amid the chaotic Lost Weekend in 2000, and have remained firm friends ever since – and she was even my Best Person at my Wedding two years ago. We’ve had many great times, had nights of sketchy memories, seen […]
/Tuesday Ten/322/Protection
This week, I’m turning my hand to the defence of self, or personal protection. This can manifest itself in physical or emotional forms, and can be good or bad for you – and indeed the aims can be very different indeed.
Welcome to the Future: 021: Music news round-up 24-November 2017
Another Friday, another weekly round-up. This is, as readers should know by now, a look at new music, upcoming music and events, and any other music news that might be worth talking about. In addition I also round up what has been on amodelofcontrol.com in the past week to.
Tuesday Ten: 308: #1 Crush
As many of my friends and readers will know by now, I’m a dedicated music fan. I’ll happily espouse my views on whatever I’m listening to, what’s new, what’s good, what’s not (the latter more often in person than online!), if there’s a discussion about music generally, I’m happy to be involved. Which is why […]
/Tuesday Ten/293/My Weakness Is None of Your Business
In another of those instances of “how have I not written about this before”, welcome to this week’s Tuesday Ten.
Tuesday Ten: 267: Tracks of the Month (July 2016)
So. Welcome to v12.0 of amodelofcontrol.com.
/Tuesday Ten /217 /Positivity
2014 has, frankly, been a fairly crap year for me, with bad things outweighing the good and what has felt like a constant battle with depression and my mental health. So, I set out recently to search out positive “alternative” songs, ones that belie the stereotype of us all moping around. And with thanks to […]
/Tuesday Ten/206/Lies
The subject of lies and deception, perhaps not unexpectedly, unleashed a torrent of potential songs for this week – even if I covered Betrayal a few years ago. Indeed there are so many songs that I could have featured that I could probably do a second ten sometime.
