Into July, and with some great new music coming our way. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
/Countdown/2018/Albums
Onto week three of /Countdown/2018 on /amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat the “year” as […]

Welcome to the Future: 020: Music news round-up 17-November 2017
Work is now in full-flow on Countdown: 2017 on amodelofcontrol.com. I think I’ve now considered everything that I feel is worthy of featuring in the end of year lists, even […]

Welcome to the Future: 015: Music news round-up 06-October 2017
This past week has been one where I’ve (once again) not written quite as much as I’d have liked. I did write about the amazing Nick Cave & The Bad […]
/Countdown/2013/Gigs
After last year’s exhausting run of gigs, 2013 was even crazier. I saw 66 days of gigs – seeing nearly 160 live sets in the process, in three countries, six […]
/Countdown/2013 /Compilations and reissues

Into the Pit: 174: The Breeders performing Last Splash – The Forum NW5 – 19-June 2013
Despite vowing to myself a long time ago I would try and avoid the retro "album live show" phenomenon that has seemingly ruled the live circuit for a good few […]

The end: the top twenty at last.
Tuesday Ten: 057: Side Projects
For this week's Tuesday Ten, I'm turning my attention to the side-project, an often-maligned pasttime for many artists.
Tuesday Ten: 030: Tracks of the Month (January 2008)
So, the first monthly roundup of 2008 – and with there not having been an equivalent for December, this is perhaps covering a longer period than normal, meaning that tracks […]
