/Tuesday Ten /506 /We Care
Back to regular /Tuesday Ten postings, then, and this week I’ve moved on to something of an emotional subject: to care or not to care.

/Welcome to the Future/207/Events, Livestreams and new releases 25-Mar 2022
Back to normal weekly postings again for the foreseeable. The post, then, 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 catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, […]
/Welcome to the Future/198/Events, Livestreams and 2022 New Releases round-up
Into 2022 and the cold, grey January, and on the first Friday of 2022, it is time for my traditional round-up of what we know about (relevant) new music coming your way in 2022. What do I mean by relevant? Broadly, that means music I might cover here, which to be honest, these days, covers […]
/Welcome to the Future/194/Events, Livestreams and new releases 19-Nov 2021
Another update covering the past two weeks, and it’s another busy time as everyone tries to get their releases out before the Christmas rush. Upcoming on this site will be /Countdown/2021 in early December, as well as a few held-over interviews from earlier in the year. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new […]
/Tuesday Ten/444/History Repeating
This week, as the Tuesday Ten series reaches a repeating number in the form of 444, I will now attempt this week’s post without repetition, deviation, or hesitation. Actually, maybe not. I’ll leave that to Just A Minute (which unexpectedly, to me at least, returned last night with Paul Merton at the helm).
/Tuesday Ten/386/The Way We Used To
In a year that has already been a tough one for so many reasons, the loss of my father-in-law just recently has hit us hard. It wasn’t exactly unexpected, but the circumstances of it meant that things happened very fast. My wife did get to him in time and spent the last hours with him, […]
Tuesday Ten: 279: Tracks of the Month (January 1997)
Over last year – to mark twenty years since I began writing about music – I ran a series of posts looking at the music I was buying and listening to in 1996 (and that was released that year), partly to jog my memory and partly to dig into my formative musical influences a bit, […]
Tuesday Ten: 263: Tracks of the Month (June 1996)
Part five of my monthly rundown, across this year, of tracks from 1996 that broadly, I still love now.
Tuesday Ten: 185: Tracks of the Month (September 2013)
It’s been a really busy month – hence a relative lack of posting this past month, and no Tuesday Tens since last month’s roundup.
Tuesday Ten: 149: B-Sides
In this era of downloads, the B-side has almost become a dead art. And what a shame, when you consider some of the astonishing tracks hidden away on the flipside of a single over the years. Not to mention that a number of B-sides have become accepted as some bands greatest songs, or have become […]
Tuesday Ten: 089: Better Covers
Firstly, further to last week, can I also suggest that following an advert for this seen at the weekend, that there is a seperate circle of hell reserved for it?
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /200-181
This was really meant to be a top 100, but when my girlfriend and I pulled together an initial “long list” a few weeks ago, that was way beyond 300 songs.
