/Tuesday Ten /517 /Talk Dirty To Me
Last year, my friend Shreena offered two subject suggestions for future /Tuesday Tens, and while I asked for songs for both around then, I only ever posted one of them.

/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, […]
/Memory of a Festival/033/Infest 2019
Somehow, despite the feeling I was just getting started, I’m already home, (mostly) unpacked and finishing this write-up of another great edition of Infest. It has long since become far more than just a music festival that I attend because I want to see a few bands – it’s an extended family.
/Welcome To The Future/094/Infest 2019 Preview
In less than three weeks time, we’ll be on the train north to Bradford, for our annual pilgrimage to the city for the industrial festival that, since I began attending, I’ve never missed.

It has changed the world, it […]

Into the Pit: 136: She Wants Revenge – Live at O2 Academy Islington – 17-June 2012
Being dicked around by venue staff before even getting through the door is never a great start, but the annoyance it caused resulted in me being in just the right mood to watch Cold In Berlin. And then, to have me question exactly how I hadn’t caught them before.
/Tuesday Ten /142 /Good Sex
So, last week I covered “Bad Sex”. This week, it is the better side. The songs that I actually see as being sexy.
Tuesday Ten: 131: Tracks of the Month (May 2011)
For my first Tuesday Ten in nearly a month, it’s back to the usual monthly round-up of things you need to hear.
