/Tuesday Ten/159/Fire
After finally seeing the Olympic Torch Relay last week – amongst the enormous crowds in the City of London on Thursday morning – as well as the spectacular finale to the opening ceremony with a seriously clever way to light the Olympic Flame in the stadium, not to mention the sad news of a colleague […]
Tuesday Ten: 158: Concept Albums
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that over the years, there aren’t a great many times where I could honestly say that I haven’t rolled my eyes in response to any news that “[x] are releasing a concept album”. It is fair to suggest that Concept Albums really do have […]
Tuesday Ten: 157: Tracks of the Month (June 2012)
Here are ten more songs and artists you should hear about, that have been rocking my world over the past month.
Tuesday Ten: 156: Tracks of the Month (May 2012)
Another month – so it’s time for a quick rundown of the ten tracks I think you should all hear. It’s a rather wider range of music than I’ve been posting of late, too, I think.
Tuesday Ten: 155: Tracks of the Month (April 2012)
A new month, therefore ten new songs you should hear about.
/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 sure why, but I guess with a changeable climate, the seemingly never-ending threat of rain (well, at least until the last few years, where dry […]
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 carping on about music in various forms. And seeing as I’m not out of ideas yet for the series, they will keep on coming. So, […]
Tuesday Ten: 152: Repackage, remaster, reissue
I’ve looked at band reunions before (144: Back For Good?), but I’ve not looked at the glut of album reissues, remasters and other ways that record labels have found to help bolster their physical sales numbers that little bit more, as digital sales continue to increase. And while I have a bit of a distrust […]
/Tuesday Ten/151/All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
Call this an exercise in free advertising if you like, but I’ve always been happy to recommend and write about music that is released by people that I consider friends. I’d be lying if I said that I like every moment of every release by each artist here, but I’d much rather offer honest opinions […]
Tuesday Ten: 150: Tracks of the Month (February 2012)
This week my Tuesday Ten series hits number 150. There was going to be a special “awards” one this week, but time constraints have put paid to it. It might still become number 151 next week, we shall see. In the meantime let’s look at the awesome tracks you should hear from this month.
Tuesday Ten: 149: B-Sides
In this era of downloads, the B-side has almost become a dead art. And what a shame, when you consider some of the astonishing tracks hidden away on the flipside of a single over the years. Not to mention that a number of B-sides have become accepted as some bands greatest songs, or have become […]
Tuesday Ten: 148: Tracks of the Month (January 2012)
The first new music coverage of 2012 from me (the best of the past month or two, anyway). So new stuff, and a dusting of the old, too.
/Tuesday Ten/147/Long Songs
My girlfriend set me a challenge for two Tuesday Tens the other week, and it seemed like an interesting idea. Last week included the shortest Spotify Playlist I will ever post, and this week goes to the other extreme.
/Tuesday Ten/146/Short Songs
So, a return to my traditional Tuesday Tens after the end of year break for rounding up 2011. My girlfriend set me a challenge for two Tuesday Tens last week, and it seemed like an interesting idea. So here is the first part of it, and it will likely be the shortest Spotify Playlist I […]
Tuesday Ten: 145: Tracks of the Month (October 2011)
Another month already – and time for my usual monthly rundown of the best tracks of the month. As is usual, this will be the last monthly rundown of the year – December will see my end of year roundups.
/Tuesday Ten/144/Back For Good?
Two reunions of different kinds hit the news last week, although interestingly the return of Steps seemed to be rather overshadowed by The Stone Roses. The NME in particular is treating the latter like the, er, Resurrection, the most important music news, well, ever. Which in some respects kinda shows them for what they and […]
Tuesday Ten: 143: Tracks of the Month (September 2011)
A new month, so my usual round-up of good new songs (and the odd old one, too). You know the drill by now, right?
/Tuesday Ten /142 /Good Sex
So, last week I covered “Bad Sex”. This week, it is the better side. The songs that I actually see as being sexy.
/Tuesday Ten /141 /Bad Sex
It has been a long time, er, coming, this. I’d say excuse the pun, but you know I don’t mean that. Anyway, I first started working on this a few months ago, and here it is at last.
