A good few weeks ago, I was listening to an album and my thoughts came to the idea of songs about winning. But, then, I thought, what about losing? And after I asked for more suggestions from my ever-helpful friends on Facebook, it transpired that I had enough songs for winning, losing and gambling, too.
Sunday night saw two notable Prince events – one was the tribute to him at the Grammys by The Time and Bruno Mars (the latter increasingly proving he is the best tribute act in town), the other being that – at long last – a vast amount of Prince’s back-catalogue is now on all of […]
We’re into a new year, I’ve already got started with other posts, so here we go with the first new tracks post of 2017.
Over last year – to mark twenty years since I began writing about music – I ran a series of posts looking at the music I was buying and listening to in 1996 (and that was released that year), partly to jog my memory and partly to dig into my formative musical influences a bit, […]
About eighteen years ago, while I was still reading Geography at King’s College London, the subject of my dissertation proposal came up.
This Friday, what was potentially unthinkable (and very unlikely indeed) a year ago will happen – Donald Trump gets inaugurated as 45th President of the United States of America.
2017 on amodelofcontrol.com begins with a look at what’s to come in the realm of music that I cover.
This Saturday, my wife and I (finally) head off on our honeymoon, starting off in New York – a city I’ve wanted to visit and see for myself for as long as I’ve looked out on the world.
Another batch of new tracks for you to listen to and read about.

Post-Cold Waves V, it’s been a time for getting things done and catching up.

Post-Infest, pre-Cold Waves, I’ve been hit by the usual late-summer/early-autumn rush of new music, with little time to process it all. For a start, then, there are thirteen tracks here rather than ten to ensure I cover more.

I’ve mentioned before that I have a notes file (saved in multiple locations) that I’ve used since I started this Tuesday Ten series back in 2007. As a result, I have ideas and concepts for lists that have languished half-completed for years, while others get thought of and posted within weeks. I guess it is […]
So. Welcome to v12.0 of amodelofcontrol.com.
Back, then, with part six of my 1996 roundup. As a reminder, I’m marking twenty years of writing about music (my writing long pre-dates this website going live) across this year with a monthly look at ten releases from 1996, where possible in chronological order.
A warning: this week’s Tuesday Ten features adult and sexual themes. Still here? Thought you might be.
