/Tuesday Ten /526 /Formed A Band (Eponymous)
It turns out that lots of artists like making things about themselves. That is, putting your own name, or more to the point your band name, in your song names. […]

/Tuesday Ten /504 /Fly Me Away
By the time you likely read this, I’ll be in the air to Chicago, on my first flights since literally just before the pandemic fully bit hard.
/Tuesday Ten /495 /Tracks of the Month /Jun-22
A week that has brought yet more appalling news from the US and elsewhere, and it’s all feeling a bit grim really, isn’t it?
/Welcome to the Future/215/Events, Livestreams and new releases 10-Jun 2022
Much like two weeks ago, this post comes with discussion of death. This time, though, it was closer to home, as a drinking-and-gig buddy from London sadly passed away this […]
/Tuesday Ten/442/A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.
Digging back into my “to-do list” of /Tuesday Ten posts (I still have quite a few of those) was the order of the day again this week, mainly as I […]
/Tuesday Ten/372/I Ran
The urge to get away is something that has been part of the popular music myth for decades – and probably as long as music has been enjoyed by humanity. […]
Welcome to the Future: 080: Events, gigs and new release round-up 19-April 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/337/Hot Hot Hot!!!
As we reach into mid-July, here in England we’re currently fighting through the warmest period in some time. Yesterday was apparently the 16th consecutive day with temperatures above 28°C, and […]
/Tuesday Ten/335/Eat My Goal
For those of you not following football, apologies, but this week I (finally) turned my attention to the beautiful game. I’ve actually covered sport before (100: Now Sports), which coincidentally […]
Tuesday Ten: 328: The Distance
I’ve long used Google Timeline, as I’m curious about just how far I do travel, and totting up some numbers for 2018 so far – and by chance, today is […]
/Tuesday Ten/320/Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing
I’ve said it before, but really, I can’t believe I haven’t covered this before. Dancing is such an important companion to music. It can be a joyful release, a form […]
Tuesday Ten: 317: Hometown Unicorn
There is something about the mythical “big city” that despite pretty much all advice to the contrary, keeps on pulling people in. Something of a land of opportunity, where there […]
/Tuesday Ten/294/Strength to Endure
Last week I was looking at weakness, and songs thereof, and this week, it’s the flipside.
Memory of a Festival: 026: Infest 2016
Over the weekend of this year’s Infest, there was some discussion over the current state of the industrial (and wider) scene. In many other scenes – or indeed in “mainstream” […]
Memory of a Festival: 025: Cold Waves IV
After an epic holiday in Chicago – ostensibly to do Cold Waves and catch up with old friends – last year (review in the box), there wasn’t ever really any […]
Tuesday Ten: 232: Tracks of the Month (May 2015)
Been a bit of a quiet month on amodelofcontrol.com, as other parts of life have got in the way. But things are now ramping up again, with a number of […]
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /20-01
I actually started this 80s rundown a couple of years back, but life and other things have rather got in the way. So, a little bit of spare time has […]
Tuesday Ten: 210: 1994
There has been a lot of “twenty years since…” features this year on “classic” albums. But then, the more I think about it, 1994 really was quite an awesome year […]
Tuesday Ten: 205: Tracks of the Month (June 2014)
A month without too many other posts, but that’s mainly because I’ve been so damned busy. Now begins the catch-up.
/Countdown/2013 /Compilations and reissues
I have something of a love-hate relationship with the whole idea of reissues and compilations. Some are truly worthwhile – reminding listeners of bands that they may have otherwise missed, […]
