/Welcome to the Future /283 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 31-Jan 2025
The first regular release roundup of 2025, as the normal release schedules begin to crank into gear, and after a bit of a false start and a busy January, I too am beginning to get things together on here too. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a […]
/Welcome to the Future /280 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 15-Nov 2024
It’s been a busy time, but I’ve just about had the time to get another release round-up done, amid continuing to get my /Countdown /2024 lists done (expect those in December). This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this […]
/Countdown/2021/Albums
Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2021 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/2021/Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2021, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2021.
/Welcome to the Future/163/Livestreams and new releases 19-Feb 2021
A quieter week this week, with a more “usual” list of new releases and upcoming announcements (the last couple of weeks have taken hours to compile!). 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/441/Tracks of the Month/Jan 2021
One month, then, of what is likely to be a difficult year for many of us, is out of the way. At least here in the Northern Hemisphere, the days start to get longer, it might stop raining quite so much, it even might get a bit warmer.
/Welcome to the Future/150/Livestreams and new release round-up/06-Nov 2020
Back into lockdown, and this weekly release and events roundup reaches /150. 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/125/Events, gigs and new release round-up/08-May 2020
We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and new music is 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. /Welcome to the Future/125 /Events, gigs and […]
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /80-61
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the second part of the best albums of the 2010s.
/Countdown/2018/Gigs
This year’s statistics – I saw 51 days worth of gigs and 156 live sets. It featured 140 different bands, and I saw sixteen twice – and all that lot were in two countries (England and Belgium) and four different cities (London, Bradford, Leeds and Sint-Niklaas).
Welcome to the Future: 026: Music news and new release round-up 26-January 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 by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.
/Countdown/2017/Albums
Onto week three of Countdown: 2017 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. Despite the move towards, it seems, streaming services and a more disjointed approach to listening, I still find that the albums of the year “award” remains the more important one, and it’s why it comes […]
Tuesday Ten: 314: Tracks of the Month (October 2017)
The final tracks of the month for this year, so this one is slightly longer than usual as I try and crowbar in as many songs as possible to clear the decks. That’s because we’re just weeks away from starting to round-up the year in music, and there’s been so much good stuff this year […]
Tuesday Ten: 313: Tracks of the Month (October 1997)
Yes, it’s Wednesday, not Tuesday, and this features twelve songs. A day later than planned due to Whitby, of course, this is the very last look-back in my two-year series looking at 1996 and 1997. It has been an interesting delve into my musical past, and indeed has dredged up memories I’d long thought forgotten. […]
Welcome to the Future: 010: Music news round-up 01-September 2017
A new month, and I resume my now regular weekly roundup of musical items of interest. As is now usual, this will include the new releases this week, other announcements, upcoming events, and other items that are worth hearing about, as well as an update on what has been new on amodelofcontrol.com this week. There […]
Tuesday Ten: 296: Tracks of the Month (May 2017)
It is, then, the week of another bloody election this week here in the UK, and there has been distinct signs of just how fucked off everyone seems to be with it across the coverage of it (not helped by the uptick in terrorist attacks in the country in recent weeks). Fuck knows what is […]
Tuesday Ten: 254: Tracks of the Month (March 2016)
For the third month in a row, it’s twenty songs to wrap up the past month – the avalanche just keeps on coming.
/Tuesday Ten/252/Inappropriate Wedding Songs
It all started at one of the very first weddings we attended. Up in the hills west of Huddersfield, this wedding had an “alternative” soundtrack as befitted the bride and groom, and after a first dance of Velvet Revolver’s Fall To Pieces and a succession of amusingly – and we have no idea if unwittingly […]
/Countdown/2015/Gigs
2015 in gigs: 70 days, 165 live sets, 154 unique bands, forty venues, seven cities, four festivals (and each of those festivals in a different town/city), three countries, two continents.
