/Welcome to the Future/092/Events, gigs and new release round-up/26-Jul 2019
It’s Friday, therefore time for the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects artists and music that I cover here.
/Tuesday Ten/374/Tracks of the Month/Jun-2019
We’re at the halfway point of the year – or if running on my eligibility criteria for the best of the year, seven months into the 2019 period (I run from 01-Dec to 30-Nov). There’s been tons of great new music, both from notable new artists and returning favourites, across a wide variety of genres […]

Tuesday Ten: 258: That’s why múm has gone to Ísland
For a country with a population of 330,000 – and a total area of 102,000km2 (in comparison, England has a total area of 130,000km2 and a population of 54 million) – Iceland has a remarkable musical heritage. Obviously it goes back a long way, Iceland having a well-recorded history going back into the first millenium […]

Another month, another round-up of the various new music that has come my way recently.
Tuesday Ten: 192: Reader’s perfect albums
This week, my Tuesday Ten series goes in a new direction – as I’ve not written it. A few weeks ago, I posted an innocent post on Facebook asking my friends what they considered their perfect albums…and got an avalanche of suggestions. Over 100 comments and 150 suggested albums later, I thought it might be […]
Into the Pit: 161: Of Monsters and Men – Live at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire – 07-March 2013
Ears Always Open. It’s a mantra I’ve kinda tried to stick to when it comes to music, as frankly band recommendations and new things to listen to come to me from all angles sometimes, and also from the most unexpected corners. As in this case. Having returned to Iceland ten years after I first visited, […]
/Countdown/2012/Albums
As I noted last week, 2012 really was a good year for music, as far as I was concerned, including a number of new discoveries.
/Countdown/2012/Tracks
Yet again, this list was a tough one. 2012 actually ended up being an impressive year for new music, as far as I was concerned, it just didn’t all come from the corners that I was expecting.
Tuesday Ten: 164: Tracks of the Month (September 2012)
Here is this month’s ten tracks you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 156: Tracks of the Month (May 2012)
Another month – so it’s time for a quick rundown of the ten tracks I think you should all hear. It’s a rather wider range of music than I’ve been posting of late, too, I think.
