/Tuesday Ten/471/Longer and Longer
Over recent posts in the past month or so, I’ve been working with the shortest one-word song titles we could think of. There was only one way I could go […]
/Tuesday Ten/465/Just The One
A certain friend suggested recently that I open a suggestion thread for songs with four-letter titles (that were actual words – no punctuation, no abbreviations, no numbers). It spawned something […]
/Tuesday Ten/404/Not Found
In what I think is a first – or at least the first time in a long time – I was messaged about a suggestion for a /Tuesday Ten recently […]

/Tuesday Ten/229/It’s Getting Goth In Here
It is the 21st anniversary of the Whitby Goth Weekend this coming weekend, so let’s go Goth for this post. The argument will rage until the end of time as […]
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /40-21

/Tuesday Ten/154/Here’s Tom With The Weather
A very British habit – and one of the cliched views of the British from around the world – is, apparently, to talk about the weather incessantly. I’ve never been […]
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /40-21

This week’s Tuesday Ten comes courtesy of two things, really: this article about soundtrack writers, and then Cyanotic’s recent re-working of the Terminator theme. Both of these got me thinking about […]
