Time for another of my monthly new(ish) track roundups. You know the drill by now, right?

Tuesday Ten: 139: Music Daisy Loves…And I Don’t.
When Daisy and I got together, we realised pretty quickly that we have some common ground in our music taste, but there are areas where we diverge in our tastes a great deal. Like, to the point that there are a number of bands that one or the other cannot stand whatsover. I was reminded […]
Tuesday Ten: 138: Hip-Hop
It seems to surprise everyone that I have a not-so-secret love of hip-hop. I’ve only ever dabbled, really, and certainly was never part of the wider hip-hop culture. Some of the stuff that has been released from the hip-hop scene over the years, though, has been phenomenal. There has been stuff every bit as heavy […]
Tuesday Ten: 137: Videos and 30 Years of MTV
Another bit of a retrospective this week, as I finally get ’round to covering the fact that MTV turned 30 years old on 01-August. As the NME noted a few months ago, whatever happened to the MTV of old? For all its faults – not least seemingly moving away from what was the whole point […]
Tuesday Ten: 136: Tracks of the Month (July 2011)
The first TT for a few weeks, and it is already back to my tracks of the month.
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 […]
Tuesday Ten: 134: Tracks of the Month (June 2011)
Ok, so it’s my usual monthly roundup of ten songs you should hear. Or go back and listen to again if you have already.
Tuesday Ten: 133: 90s Dance
Yes, I’m still on something of a retro tip. After seeing a depressing “top selling dance songs of the noughties” list, I began thinking back to the stuff I loved in the nineties. I was, to be fair, heavily into big beat and drum and bass in my uni days, so this list might well […]
Tuesday Ten: 132: nineteenninetyone
I seem to have been delving into my musical past, and in particular the nineties, an awful lot so far in 2011. I’m not exactly sure why: perhaps it’s just been discovering a handful of nights in London that cover parts of that past that I’m still fond of – so Nuis@nce and Louder Than […]
Tuesday Ten: 131: Tracks of the Month (May 2011)
For my first Tuesday Ten in nearly a month, it’s back to the usual monthly round-up of things you need to hear.
Tuesday Ten: 130: Bands We Can Blame Oasis For
At Nuis@nce a week or so ago – a night of otherwise pleasant throwbacks to a now long-gone indie-rock heyday – we were also reminded of the godawful side of Britpop. That of the lad-rock band. You know the kind. Boorish, bellowing and lumpen indie rock with vapid songs, and sometimes equally vapid fans. Watching […]
Tuesday Ten: 129: Tracks of the Month (April 2011)
May already? Time for my usual roundup of ten great tracks you should hear from the past month. Playlists: Spotify YouTube Track of the Month Skindred Warning Union Black Benji Webbe has been around on the metal scene now for a good many years. First as the vocalist of ragga/(heavy) metallers Dub War, and then […]
/Tuesday Ten/128/Royalty and Privilege
It won’t have escaped anyone’s attention in the UK at least that there is a wedding of two privileged people this Friday that will take place in front of a worldwide audience, shutting down the normal workings of much of central London for the day – and indeed the rest of the country as an […]
Tuesday Ten: 127: Tracks of the Month (March 2011)
Where on earth is time going? Time once again for my usual monthly roundup of great new songs.
/Tuesday Ten/126/Horror
I wondered for a while how I was going to tackle this week’s vague subject, and how strict I had to be. After all, when it comes to songs about horror, do I only go for specific songs referring to horror themes? Or songs that are scary and terrifying? Or songs that poke fun at […]
/Tuesday Ten/125/Numbers
It’s been a week of numbers. What with Daisy and mine’s sixth anniversary, yesterday being a year of me being in my current job, and at least two 40th birthdays in the past week – not to mention Daisy’s Grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary in three weeks time, and with nuclear fears in the news again […]
/Tuesday Ten /124 /Food & Drink
I was a little surprised, I have to admit, when I realised just how many songs my partner and I could think of that reference, are tenuously linked to, or are actually about this week’s subject. So, what am I on about this week? Food and drink. That is, the non-alcoholic variety (I’ve covered alcohol […]
Tuesday Ten: 123: Tracks of the Month (February 2011)
Another month, time again for my usual monthly rundown of ten tracks you should hear. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of this months on Spotify, but what there is of it can be found on the link in the box.
/Tuesday Ten/122/Dumped
Ok, so I did Bad Romance last year, but here’s another list for Valentines Day – this time dealing with being dumped. It’s been a good many years since it happened to me, and I really rather hope it stays that way.
Tuesday Ten: 121: Tracks of the Month (January 2011)
Playlists: Spotify Time for the first roundup of new music to recommend for 2011 – it’s my Tracks of the month January 2011.
