/Welcome to the Future /296 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 26-Sep 2025
Bloody hell, there’s a lot going on at the moment: an avalanche of new releases, and new release announcements, recently. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /598 /Tracks of the Month /Jul-25
This month, I’m covering the best tracks of the month a week earlier than usual – mainly because I already had plans for /Tuesday Ten /599 and /600 that fit neatly in the next couple of weeks. That said, I already had enough tracks by this time last week, never mind this week, so there […]
/Welcome to the Future /292 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 24-Jul 2025
A break in what has been a hot summer this week, with lots of rain and a general sense, for a short while, of nothing much going on. 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, […]
/Tuesday Ten /588 /Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
I now turn to the second of what will be six posts about exclamations or fill-ins in songs. After “Hey!” last week, this week we’re going “Na Na Na”.
/Tuesday Ten /569 /A Change Would Do You Good
Everything has changed in recent years. Many of us have moved from where we were (particularly those of us in London), our outlook on life might have changed, friends have got married, others having children, others still making other drastic changes to their lives.
/Tuesday Ten /538 /Who’s Gonna Be The GOAT?
After a couple of busy months where trying to post weekly was impossible, to complete the rest of this year I’m going to aim for weekly /Tuesday Ten posts. And we start with an appropriate subject.
/Tuesday Ten /518 /Power
Once again, I’ve been digging into the suggestion archives this week and picking up on another subject that I asked about aeons ago and never got ’round to using.

/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.
/Tuesday Ten/484/Fifteen Years
This week, what started out as a quick round-up of the best music I was listening to at the time (not necessarily new music initially), thanks to a request from another user on Livejournal, reaches fifteen years of posts.
/Tuesday Ten/469/Four Letter Word
I conclude – well, kinda – the short song title series with four-letter-word song titles, and this one took a lot of work.
/Tuesday Ten/446/Want More Need Less
There was a clear pattern to pretty much all of the suggestion threads that I initiated last year. In one way or another, they mostly linked to the situation we found ourselves in: our normal way of life upended, unable to travel or socialise in the usual ways for most of the past year. That […]
/Tuesday Ten/418/Twenty-Five Years Gigging
Twenty-five years ago yesterday (20-July 1995), I made it to my first proper gig. I headed over to Roundhay Park in the north-eastern edges of Leeds, along with tens of thousands of others, to the first night of the Heineken Festival that year, ostensibly to see Pop Will Eat Itself, but that evening I also […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /80-61
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the seventh 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/022/the a-z of industrial/n/part two
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a first look at the letter N. Needless to say this was recorded during the ongoing lockdown…
/Welcome to the Future/119/Events, gigs and new release round-up/27-Mar 2020
It feels weird posting this, but I need to keep going. There are loads of new releases, and still there is new music 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/401/Isolation
As a number of people in comment and meme form have joked this past week or two, this isn’t the dystopian future we were promised. But it’s the one we’ve got, and it is remarkable how certain outlooks have changed. Certain political policies that were ridiculed just three months ago have become instantly popular – […]
/Countdown/2018/Tracks
Onto week two of Countdown: 2018 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best tracks of the year. These might be the singles, they might be album tracks, they might be one-offs. But all of them are songs I love in one way or another, and they aren’t all necessarily songs that fall […]
/Tuesday Ten/347/Ready to Start
There is a good reason why it has taken 347 editions of my Tuesday Ten series to get ’round to doing my favourite opening tracks – mainly because I didn’t want to come across all Rob Gordon and Barry Judd in High Fidelity.
/Tuesday Ten/336/Tracks of the Month/Jun-18
Back to the first Tuesday of the Month now, after a really, really busy month that left me without time anyway last week – that and there were a couple of releases that I needed to wait until this week to feature. And to catch up a bit, there are more than ten this month.
