@infestfestival.bsky.social last was my 25th Infest, so on /Tuesday Ten /602 this week, I reflect on some of the most surprising performances across the last 25 years or so, as well as some of the new discoveries along the way.

My take on @infestfestival.bsky.social as it moved to Manchester, and it was a lot of (exhausting) fun.

My /Tuesday Ten series reaches post 600, with songs that mention specific dates.

Five years ago this week, we headed down to Folkestone and Dungeness (for me, the first time), and the seed was planted for moving down here.

/Tuesday Ten /599 is about places in Kent, and finding that there are surprisingly few songs about places in the county.

/Tuesday Ten /592 is about songs that go "ooh!", and thirty-odd years after first hearing it in the stands, I finally learn the origins of a football chant.

Songs that go "Na Na Na" make up /Tuesday Ten /588 - and good luck getting most of these out of your head.

amodelofcontrol.bsky.social
It absolutely does!
amodelofcontrol.bsky.social
On a related note, suggestions for songs that go "La La La"?

/Tuesday Ten /587 says "Hey!" an awful lot.

amodelofcontrol went to Resistanz Festival and had a great time.

I can blame hearing a particular Ashbury Heights song at the weekend for realising I'd never asked about this subject before.

Anyway: your suggestions, please, for songs (*NOT* albums) about or mentioning rumour, hearsay, insinuation and/or gossip.

It's Holy Week this week (and a number of other religious festivals over the month), so this week, /Tuesday Ten /583 delves into religion.

Songs about body modification make up /Tuesday Ten /582.

Maybe when I'm in Sheffield for Resistanz in a couple of weeks - having a few weeks off the booze in the meantime!

My /Tuesday Ten series reaches eighteen years old this week, with /Tuesday Ten /581 wrapping up the best tracks of the past month.

New and upcoming releases wrapped up here: amodelofcontrol.com/new-music/21...

(It's been a month of really solid releases, too).
amodelofcontrol.bsky.social
I'm glad it worked out! Hopefully will see you at the London show in September (I'm intending on being there).

Spring is here at last, so /Tuesday Ten /580 is looking at songs about trees.

Go and listen to the new @grabyourface.bsky.social album "Sadgirl Mixtape".

Then come back here and read my new interview with them about it: amodelofcontrol.com/interviews/2...

It's a day we're celebrating (it's our anniversary today), at least, so...

Your suggestions, please, for songs that are about or reference parties or partying, or just generally having a great time.
amodelofcontrol.bsky.social
It's our 20th anniversary together, and nine years married, tomorrow. So /Tuesday Ten /579 is on an appropriate subject: anniversaries, and the metals and precious stones that represent them.
