/Welcome to the Future/181/Livestreams and new releases 16-Jul 2021
As I’ve noted previously livestreams like others are beginning to wind down. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for […]
/Tuesday Ten/453/End Is A New Start
Now the majority of the moving-in rigmarole is finally done – we have a couple of small side tables to build and that’s about it – not to mention our […]
/Welcome to the Future/124/Events, gigs and new release round-up/30-Apr 2020
We keep going in 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 […]
/Transmission/020/the a-z of industrial/m/part three
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a third and final look at the letter M. Needless to say this was recorded during the ongoing lockdown…
/Tuesday Ten/404/Not Found
In what I think is a first – or at least the first time in a long time – I was messaged about a suggestion for a /Tuesday Ten recently […]
/Countdown/2019/Gigs
Some statistics for my gig-going in 2019. I went to 53 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three […]
/Tuesday Ten/350/American Politics v2 – Protest Music in the age of Trump
There are two Tuesday Tens today for a good reason. Partly because Tuesday Ten: 349 – this month’s tracks of the month – was unavoidably pushed back last week due […]
Welcome to the Future: 032: Events, gigs and new release round-up 09-March 2018
Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is […]
Tuesday Ten: 319: Tracks of the Month (January 2018)
The first Tracks of the Month of 2018, and really, we’re picking up where we left off before Christmas. Releases are being announced thick and fast at this time of […]
/Tuesday Ten/318/Speed King
This week, the tempo is high, the pedal is to the floor, and we’re speeding through ten songs. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, when dealing with the subject of speed, ambient songs and […]
Tuesday Ten: 306: When Worlds Collide
The influence of classical music upon “popular” music is often forgotten, perhaps as the evolution through what became jazz and blues into rock and beyond is a complex one that […]
Tuesday Ten: 250: Tracks of the Month (February 1996)
So. Tuesday Ten 250 is quite a milestone to reach, I guess. As well as that, 2016 marks twenty years since I began writing about music, with my first review […]
/Tuesday Ten/219/Outros
One of the interesting things about writing this series is that occasionally one post (and not necessarily at the time of writing it!) will inspire another, and then will have […]
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /20-01
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 […]
/Countdown/2012 /Disappointments
The end of November looms, so it is time once again to review 2012 in music.
/Tuesday Ten/159/Fire
After finally seeing the Olympic Torch Relay last week – amongst the enormous crowds in the City of London on Thursday morning – as well as the spectacular finale to […]
But Listen: 121: Ministry – Relapse
Back in the 80s, Al Jourgensen was one of the driving forces behind industrial and metal coming together. The three albums released around the end of the 80s and early […]
/Tuesday Ten/111/Betrayal
This week, I’m looking at being betrayed. It’s all thanks to one of these songs coming up on my iPod the other day and getting my mind thinking. It wasn’t […]
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /60-41
Onto part three of my 90s album run-down. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is only missing a couple of entries (it's remarkable how much is […]
