Hopefully this long list of names and releases gives you a clue about the individuals behind the screens at DiS. I've always thought of the site as being an aggregator of individual opinions, rather than some compromised coherent voice with a contrarian tone. It's near impossible to get music fans to agree on very much, which is why we do our album of the year list a little differently to most sites. We don't just tot up the votes and say what the most popular release was, as music to us isn't a popularity contest. Votes quickly become political, rather than personal and I hate the idea of mob rule. »

Democracy! Green Man Festival are offering the chance for a band - any band - to open up the festival this year. A sort of glorified Battle Of The Bands for Web 2.0. Perhaps a little bit like 'Road to V' but also infinitely better.»
