Yes, we've likely met before.

Writes about alternative music at amodelofcontrol.com, occasional industrial/alternative DJ. Works in Telecoms, all views my own.
@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.

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.

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.

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.

*might, as in, "anticipated" and may or may not happen!
