/Tuesday Ten /584 /Everything We Know Is Wrong
I’m back from Resistanz Festival – the review for that will follow at some point in the next week – and we’re back to the regular /Tuesday Ten posts. Needless to say, this was written in advance last week, as I knew full well I wouldn’t have time over the weekend.

/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…
/Tuesday Ten/406/Warning!
Following on from last week, there’s been lots of warnings of late. Warnings to social distance, warnings to stay at home, warnings about what to do if you’re infected. We’re also – well, were, before the rain came today – hearing announcements in Finsbury Park telling people not to sunbathe or lounge around in the […]

Tuesday Ten: 260: Tracks of the Month (May 1996)
Part four of my monthly rundown this year of tracks from 1996 that broadly, I still love now.
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 for what we call alternative music in its various forms. I was sixteen that summer, and the torrent of new music covered all kinds of […]
Memory of a Festival: 021: Bloodstock Open Air 2014
A first for me, in attending Bloodstock for the first time, and a first time in fifteen years camping at a festival (I last did so in 1999 for Reading – you know, back when they still booked bands worth seeing). It wasn’t my first festival where the rain was torrential, though, but even so […]
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /60-41
Onto part three of my 90s album run-down. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is only missing a couple of entries (it's remarkable how much is now on Spotify, actually!).
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /60-41
Part eight, and we’re nearly there.
Tuesday Ten: 084: Tracks of the Month (August 2009)
This month’s ten tracks I think you should hear.
Tuesday Ten: 078: 90s Industrial Metal
The 90s were a heyday for industrial metal – let’s be honest, few bands have been able to continue a high quality output of this style into this decade, and fewer more recent bands still have been able to keep the flame alive (with notable exceptions being the likes of Interlock and Cyanotic). To confirm […]
/Countdown/2007/Albums
Part three of my round-up of the year, and this week it is my albums of the year. Despite my reservations recently that there hadn’t been an awful lot to recommend for 2007, it turns out that there are actually quite a lot.
