/Tuesday Ten/423/Everyone Must Win
This week concludes a short series on Winning and Losing – a subject that’s been sat on the backburner here at /amodelofcontrol.com for over three years (I originally asked for […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /20-01
Completing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the last part of the best tracks of the 2010s. […]
/Countdown/2019/Gigs
Some statistics for my gig-going in 2019. I went to 53 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three […]

/Tuesday Ten/375/An Eye Is Upon You
This has been an unusual one, that I’ve tried to write a few times and shelved. Sometimes you have inspiration, sometimes…you don’t. So I left it for a few months, […]

/Tuesday Ten/338/With a Little Help from My Friends
One of my closest, and oldest, friends comes to visit this weekend. We met by chance amid the chaotic Lost Weekend in 2000, and have remained firm friends ever since […]
/Countdown/2017/Gigs
Some statistics: over 2017, I saw 114 live sets, across 45 days-worth of events (I count festivals by the day, so Infest covers three days-worth of events). Remarkably, by the […]

/Tuesday Ten/289/European Me
I toyed with the idea of a post celebrating Europe last summer around the referendum vote, but frankly, I was too damned down about the whole thing to even consider […]
/Countdown/2013/Gigs

/Countdown/2013/Albums

/Countdown/2013/Tracks
2013 has been a really, really strong year for music.
Into the Pit: 176: Six By Seven – Live at The Lexington N1 – 24-July 2013
2013 has been a mightily odd year for music. While we’ve seen, for better or worse, no end of bands returning after long breaks, reforming or just keeping on going […]
/Tuesday Ten/174/Live Albums
So…I’ve looked at the best gigs, live venues, and gigs at the London Astoria, bands at Infest, bands I’ve *not* seen live…but I’ve never had a look at live albums, […]
