/Tuesday Ten /638 /He Said, She Said
This one kinda picks up where we left off two weeks ago – but with a bit of a different angle.

/Tuesday Ten /637 /Tracks of the Month /May-26
It has been a really busy few weeks of music round here, with no less than seven gigs in two weeks taking up a lot of my time – and some of them were a bit of a struggle in the intense heat in the south of England in the past week or so.
/Welcome to the Future /306 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 29-May 2026
A quieter few weeks as we enter festival season and the high summer. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me […]
/Tuesday Ten /636 /Somebody Told Me
As we continue the journey to the end of this series in March next year, I seem to be picking up some of the harder subjects now, those that had less suggestions and are more difficult to build a post around.
/Tuesday Ten /635 /Paranoia
Are they out to get you? Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. This week is a grab-bag of ten songs dripping with paranoia and nervousness, about what may or may not happen, and what is real and what is imagined.
/Tuesday Ten /634 /Glamourama
The Met Gala last week, a troubled Venice Art Biennale began last week, and the Cannes Film Festival starts today: all events where how attendees look and what they wear becomes as important as the art medium being exhibited or shown, or in the case of the Met Gala, the money raised.
/Welcome to the Future /305 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 08-May 2026
Playing catch-up every week, with yet more releases to keep up with! This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new […]
/Tuesday Ten /633 /Tracks of the Month /Apr-26
Fresh from a good weekend up north, including seeing an excellent Mesh and Mari Kattman show, it’s back to normal life and regular programming now the Bank Holiday has passed.
/Tuesday Ten /632 /Please Mr. Postman
The world’s first adhesive postage stamp, the Penny Black, was issued in the United Kingdom on 01-May 1840, 186 years ago this week. The Royal Mail, however, goes back a whole lot further: Henry VIII created the “Master of the Posts” in 1516, while Charles I made the postal service available to the public in […]
/Tuesday Ten /631 /Wibbling Rivalry
Yesterday was my sister’s birthday – not that I’ve had a chance to wish her happy birthday, she long since decided to cut herself off from much of the family. Her choice, I guess. To be fair, we’ve never really got on. We ended up part of a larger family, with two stepbrothers and twin […]
/Welcome to the Future /304 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 17-Apr 2025
The reality is that this release roundup is currently a monthly post. I’m trying to give myself a bit more time, so that I can do this more frequently, but it’s not quite working out like that yet! This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to […]
/Tuesday Ten /630 /Clapping Music
The human body has long been used in music as a form of percussion, and in popular music, the handclap is a regularly used element. So why not a /Tuesday Ten looking at songs that make great use of the handclap?
/Tuesday Ten /629 /Tracks of the Month /Mar-26
Another month, more new music: and no less than twenty tracks this month, as we rush headlong into Spring and everything seems to be released at once.
/Tuesday Ten /628 /Oblivion
This week – the last /Tuesday Ten in March, or thereabouts – I reach nineteen years of the /Tuesday Ten series, and post number 628. As I mentioned at the beginning of the year, I’m pretty much counting down to the end of /amodelofcontrol.com now, and this week marks a year until posting ends on […]
/Tuesday Ten /627 /The Rock Show
I go to a lot of gigs. I started going to gigs in 1995, and my records (incomplete before 2003) tell me that I’ve been to over 850 gigs/festivals, and have recorded that I’ve seen approximately 2,500 sets. Bearing in mind I saw quite a bit at Uni in London, I suspect the number is […]
/Welcome to the Future /303 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 20-Mar 2025
Life has got in the way a bit lately – again – not least our anniversary holiday, so this is again a few weeks later than planned, and is also chock-full of new release announcements of note. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming […]
/Tuesday Ten /626 /Travelling
Last week my wife Daisy and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary, and twenty-one years together (we got married on our eleventh anniversary), and to mark the occasion we went on an adventure – the longest holiday since our honeymoon. The trip was something we’d wanted to do for ages: going by train across Europe. […]
/Tuesday Ten /625 /Don’t Dream It, Be It
It is the 98th Academy Awards this coming weekend, and so it’s time to dust off another suggestion thread that I’ve had ready to use for a while (the original thread was in October 2020), and look at songs about actors (and the odd director). Become a member! /amodelofcontrol.com now has a Patreon page, at […]
/Tuesday Ten /624 /Tracks of the Month /Feb-26
A baker’s dozen of new tracks this month. Release announcements for 2026 are now in full swing, which means it can be tough to keep up…
/Tuesday Ten /623 /Hey Jealousy
Last week was filth, this week goes a different way: but still with a fair bit of swearing and occasional filth, as it happens.
