/Welcome to the Future /289 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 23-May 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced. 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 others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music […]
/Welcome to the Future /285 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 13-Mar 2025
A new tranche of releases coming your way, or that have come out in the past couple of weeks. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get on with it. 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 […]

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/476/Tracks of the Month/Jan-22
These past few weeks have been a bit of a nightmare away from writing about music (my father has been, and still is, very ill in hospital), and perhaps, giving myself a bit of a distraction in writing about music again is what I need.
/Tuesday Ten/427/Secret
This week, I’m picking up on a recent suggestion thread that really got me thinking, as the very idea of secrets in song seems like an oxymoron.

/Tuesday Ten/367/It’s Oh So Quiet
Thirty years ago last week – last Thursday, in fact, one of the most important alternative rock albums ever was released. Doolittle by Pixies remains a high-watermark, arguably kickstarted the takeover of the airwaves by alternative rock in the early nineties, and of course, paved the way for countless other bands – Nirvana of course […]
/Tuesday Ten/235/Twenty Years of Gigs
Last week actually marked a significant milestone in my music fandom – 20-July was exactly twenty years since I first attended a live, professionally promoted gig. That first show, by the way, was the (free) Heineken Festival in Roundhay Park, Leeds – I went to two days of it. The Thursday night I saw Back […]
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /140-121
The fourth instalment of this lengthy rundown.
/Tuesday Ten/066/Best Live
I’m sure I’ve at least mentioned these in passing before, but I can’t find it (the perils of using titles to posts that don’t actually tell me all that much when searching for things!), so it’s perhaps overdue that I make this into a Tuesday Ten, especially with such an interesting response on Facebook and […]
