/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.

/Welcome to the Future /224 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 16-Sep 2022
Quickly into mid-September already, and /amodelofcontrol.com will be away in Chicago next week, covering Cold Waves X (expect the usual report and photos, and potentially some content on FB/Instagram along the way). First up, though, here’s the new releases and suchlike from the past two weeks. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this […]
/Welcome to the Future/211/Events, Livestreams and new releases 06-May 2022
Another strong set of releases to cover this week. The post, then, 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 and […]
/Tuesday Ten/482/Rulebreaker
I’ve done a lot of driving lately, both north to see my Dad (who is happily now recovering, and out of Intensive Care), and more recently to a few meetings as I’ve begun to get into the swing of things in my new job. So, a variety of playlists (and 6 Music) have been my […]
/Tuesday Ten/480/Tracks of the Month/Feb-22
It has been a chaotic, busy month, as we’ve dealt with my father in hospital (still, although he’s now recovering at last), my wife being ill with tonsilitis, and me preparing to start my new job (today). But even among all of that, I’ve managed to find time to write about another bumper batch of […]
/Tuesday Ten/351/You Think You’re A Man (Toxic Masculinity)
I’ve long thought about posting on this subject, but I genuinely didn’t know where to start – but the impetus came after the recent confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, as yet another set of abuse allegations appeared to get brushed aside for political expediency, despite the detail of the allegations suggesting […]
/Tuesday Ten/337/Hot Hot Hot!!!
As we reach into mid-July, here in England we’re currently fighting through the warmest period in some time. Yesterday was apparently the 16th consecutive day with temperatures above 28°C, and frankly, it’s felt like longer than that as London has broiled in the heat.
Tuesday Ten: 308: #1 Crush
As many of my friends and readers will know by now, I’m a dedicated music fan. I’ll happily espouse my views on whatever I’m listening to, what’s new, what’s good, what’s not (the latter more often in person than online!), if there’s a discussion about music generally, I’m happy to be involved. Which is why […]
/Tuesday Ten/293/My Weakness Is None of Your Business
In another of those instances of “how have I not written about this before”, welcome to this week’s Tuesday Ten.
Tuesday Ten: 256: Tracks of the Month (April 1996)
Already, we’re onto the third month of this run-down of 1996, and the avalanche of great new music that appeared that year.
Tuesday Ten: 198: Tracks of the Month (February 2014)
A new month, so a new ten tracks of things that I’m enjoying at the moment. To be honest, we seem to be in a bit of a lull at the moment, after the flurry of releases recently (Seabound, God Module, Laibach, seeming and Aesthetic Perfection will all be reviewed separately soon, by the way […]
Into the Pit: 146: The Afghan Whigs – Live at KOKO – 19-August 2012
If Yuck are/were the sound of the grunge revival, then side-project Oupa are the sound of it dying, already reduced to sub-Neil youngesque croaks, backed with a wheezing drum machine that never chances pace. Oh yes. Not content with being part of the much-hyped “grunge revival” (which aside from the original bands reforming, and a […]
Tuesday Ten: 135: A Night On The Town
I got wind over the weekend that the bar that I ran tcf in for five years is closing – initially it sounded like it was for good, but instead it’s apparently for a refurb that will see The Nelson in Sheffield close for eight weeks. So it feels like an appropriate time to look at songs […]
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /80-61
Following on from Tuesday, here's part two of my 90s albums rundown. This is fun, even if a little time consuming – and it's reminding me of songs I've not heard in a while, in some cases. As per Tuesday, there is a Spotify playlist accompaniment once again, with no omissions this time.
/Tuesday Ten/091/Bad Romance
This week is inspired by the usual annual marketing blitz that is Valentines Day, and in particular this article about valentines day compilation albums. So, here are ten songs you are unlikely to hear on such a compilation: all of these songs are about love in one way or another, just maybe not the “conventional” […]
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /80-61
Continuing the long journey through the decade, part seven.
/Tuesday Ten/072/Lust
This week was going to be a run-through of songs involving one or more of the seven deadly sins, which many of you may remember me asking about a few weeks back. But finding a selection I was happy with has been very hard indeed, so this week I’m concentrating on just one of the […]
Tuesday Ten: 065: Places
This was a late decision to do a Tuesday Ten this week, and it ended up being a list I had far too many suggestions for – again.
/Tuesday Ten/005/North American 90s Alternative
My predilection for music lists at the moment may be coming across all a bit High Fidelity, but it is in the main me rummaging through the boxes of musical history in my mind – that and I am finding it quite a lot of fun hunting through the archives of YouTube. In addition, of […]
