Back to writing about the best gigs of the year for the first time in three years. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2022. I went to 36 shows (each […]

/Memory of a Festival /037 /Cold Waves X
That what started out as a hastily-scheduled event to celebrate the life of Jamie Duffy has turned into a large, multi-day, multi-city festival over the past decade is something of […]
/Tuesday Ten/426/War on Error
Last Friday was the nineteenth anniversary of the September 11th (or 9/11) attacks, four near-simultaneous aircraft hijackings by terrorists in the US that resulted in an enormous loss of life, […]
/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. […]
/Tuesday Ten/238/Dead on “TV”
This week, time for a Tuesday Ten I’ve been thinking about and working on, gradually, for a few months. I was set a challenge, you see: to come up with […]
Tuesday Ten: 205: Tracks of the Month (June 2014)
A month without too many other posts, but that’s mainly because I’ve been so damned busy. Now begins the catch-up.
Tuesday Ten: 183: An Infest Retrospective
As Infest 2013 looms this weekend – and with the announcement that there won’t be an Infest in 2014, either – I’ve decided that it is time to look back […]
/Countdown/2012/Tracks
Yet again, this list was a tough one. 2012 actually ended up being an impressive year for new music, as far as I was concerned, it just didn’t all come […]
Tuesday Ten: 153: Tracks of the Month (March 2012)
I guess last week’s repackaging Tuesday Ten was kinda apt, seeing as this past week has marked five years of my Tuesday Ten series. That is five years of me […]
Tuesday Ten: 123: Tracks of the Month (February 2011)
Another month, time again for my usual monthly rundown of ten tracks you should hear. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of this months on Spotify, but what there is of […]
Tuesday Ten: 119: Also Featuring…
For my first Tuesday Ten proper in about two months, I’m looking at guest appearances. I thought I had covered this before, but somehow it appears that I haven’t. Anyway […]
/Countdown/2010/Tracks
There has been so much good music this year – as well as a few stinkers, frankly, but let’s not dwell on those, at least for now – that for […]
Tuesday Ten: 093: Tracks of the Month (February 2010)
Not having picked up much new music in recent weeks, it has given me a chance at last to try and catch up a little with various promo items and […]
/Countdown/2000s/Albums /25-01
So today marks the last part of my rundown of the decade’s music. Next week will be the usual rundown of the month’s best tracks, and then I’ll be starting […]
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /20-01
While for me the past decade hasn’t been the revelation musically that the 90s were, there was still some amazing material. And here are the top twenty songs of the […]
Tuesday Ten: 027: Crossing Boundaries
For this week's Tuesday Ten, I'm looking at the idea of bands who have successfully brought together disparate genres into their sound. There are likely many more bands that have […]
Tuesday Ten: 026: Top Played Artists of 2007
A slightly different Tuesday Ten this week – and it will be the last 2007 retrospective. So what is this one? Well, it needs some explanation.
Tuesday Ten: 015: The Ghosts Of Infest Past
We are finally in the week preceding Infest, so it is perhaps only right for an Infest-based Tuesday Ten. Not just ten artists, though – this is something of a […]
Tuesday Ten: 014: The DJ Emergency Kit
This week's TT is inspired by a number of things, but triggered mainly in the most recent-sense by Carl's question the other day, and what I have noticed as a […]
/Tuesday Ten/004/Tracks of the Month/April 2007
So here we are into another month (May already, wtf?), and so it’s time for my now semi-monthly rundown of tracks that I love right now.
