/Welcome to the Future /262 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 01-Dec 2023
The last month of the year, and the /Countdown /2023 roundup begins this Tuesday. What are your favourites this year? 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 […]
/Welcome to the Future /259 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Oct 2023
We’re nearing the end of the year, which means I’m now considering the best of 2023, and releases for the new year are now beginning to filter through too,. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /531 /Shake It Off
Back to regular programming – and hopefully weekly posts again – as of this week, as July looks like it might be that little bit calmer than June was. But then, I think I said that before…
/Tuesday Ten /510 /Climb Ev’ry Mountain
For much of my life, I’ve lived in the hillier areas of this country. From my early years in the surprisingly hilly Medway Towns, to the West and South Yorkshire hills, even the hills of North London. Even now, on the Kent Coast, if I want to go any appreciable distance from my now home, […]
/Tuesday Ten/491/When Will I Be Famous?
After what is these days a rare week off from /Tuesday Ten posts, I’m back this week with one looking at the pressures of fame.
/Tuesday Ten/479/Stormy Clouds
It will not have escaped the notice of British and north-west European readers that there’s been a bit of Weather this week. Indeed, since the Met Office introduced names for major storms, it is the first time that three such storms have swept through the UK within seven days.
/Tuesday Ten/414/Senses Working Overtime/Touch
Just over two years ago, I asked for suggestions around songs involving the senses. Needless to say, this ended up being a gargantuan thread, with the easy decision made to split it out.
/Tuesday Ten/397/No Treasure But Hope
I’ve been conscious that lately, I seem to have been covering darker subjects in this series, and I began to wonder, maybe, I should do a more positive post? Right now many friends are striving, working, and hoping for something better in one way or another, so I put out a call for songs that […]
/Tuesday Ten/385/I’m So Happy You Failed
If like me, you’ve been despairing of politics of late, it won’t have escaped your notice that most right-wing leaders appear consumed by their own self, in extreme forms of hubris and arrogance. We have an American President that appears to believe he is above the law, and not far off the same with the […]
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /80-61
A couple of years ago, I posted the best of the 90s, and the best of the 00s, from my point of view.
/Tuesday Ten/074/Music, My Dad and Me
It was, of course, Father’s Day this Sunday just gone, and for this week’s /Tuesday Ten I thought it appropriate to use this theme. I think my voracious appetite for music comes from my dad – ever since I can remember there has been a steady flow of “new” music into the house, in a […]
/Tuesday Ten/047/Documents of the Past
I set myself a tough subject for this week’s list a few weeks ago, and in some respects, I’m glad I gave myself the extra time to prepare this list – while I had a lot of options for it, it proved to be a tough one to whittle down.
Tuesday Ten: 033: 80s
So that can only mean that it’s time for me to do another Tuesday Ten – I haven’t done one in a while. And this week’s is all the fault of Infest, really – and more to the point their announcements last week.
