/Welcome to the Future /260 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 03-Nov 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 continuing 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 /540 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-23
The final /Tracks of the Month of 2023 – or more to the point, the last before I unleash /Countdown /2023, wrapping up the best music of the year.
/Welcome to the Future /236 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 03-Feb 2023
Bandcamp Friday seems to get crazier by the month – I’ve had a flood of emails from pretty much every artist or label I’ve ever bought from today, it seems. 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 […]
/Countdown /2022 /Tracks
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2022, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2022.
/Tuesday Ten /509 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-22
Back from Whitby, and while I saw a handful of bands (more about those later in the week), today it’s back to the best tracks of the past month.
/Welcome to the Future/202/Events, Livestreams and new releases 04-Feb 2022
Bandcamp Friday is back, but this time it feels like a lot of artists were prepared in advance (I’ve certainly not had the usual avalanche of notifications that I usually do). The post, then, is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from […]
/Welcome to the Future/201/Events, Livestreams and new releases 28-Jan 2022
Back to normal on the Friday posts, then, which has evolved over time but remains, at the core, 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 recently. Thanks to everyone who […]
/Countdown/2020/Albums
Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2020 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat the “year” as 01-December to 30-November, to allow me a cut-off point, and to allow this to be done and dusted before Christmas so that […]

/Transmission/024/the a-z of industrial/p/part one
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a first look at the letter P. Needless to say this was recorded during the ongoing lockdown…
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /120-101
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the fifth 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 […]
/But Listen/162/Promenade Cinema/Exit Guides
Promenade Cinema rather burst out of their native Sheffield a couple of years ago, with a handful of striking, elegant singles and a sensational debut album LIVING GHOSTS, that this site saw fit to award Album of the Year on /Countdown/Albums/2018. I still love that album, too, and did have a little fear in the […]
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /60-41
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the third part of the best albums of the 2010s.
/Welcome to the Future/118/Events, gigs and new release round-up/20-Mar 2020
It feels weird posting this, but I need to keep going. There are loads of new releases, and still 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 right now.
/Welcome to the Future/117/Events, gigs and new release round-up/06-Mar 2020
A welcome to the many new readers of this page. This is the weekly Friday post, 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten/394/Tracks of the Month/Jan-20
The new year has started well for new music. In fact very well, as all kinds of new music has been flying at me from all directions, or so it feels. Which is why this week has more than ten songs – I finally stopped at sixteen – and I suspect that future /Tracks of […]

/Countdown/2019/Tracks
Onto week two of /Countdown/2019 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 within […]
/Click Click/007/BEAT:CANCER/London/09-Nov 2019
For the last couple of years, one Saturday around this time of year has seen me head to Electrowerkz for the latest London edition of the BEAT:CANCER shows – and indeed take photos of the bands, and write about them too.
