The current received wisdom is that following the tour for 2002’s Heathen he fell off the map, but the weird thing about Bowie’s ‘lost decade’ is how little of it was lost....»

Drowned in Sound's editor talks to one of the artists of 2011 about one of the albums of 2011...»
This week's Spotifriday playlist featuring some songs by the likes of Brian Eno (not really a song...), Future Islands, Bon Iver, Patrick Wolf, Art Brut and Mclusky. And a few more, of course.»
DiS usually does a top 50 albums of the year. However, 2010 has seen the release of rather a lot of much-loved records that we have been forced to do a roll-over, in order to highlight a few more must own/investigate records.»
DiS now does a monthly playlist for the Spotify blog and we thought we'd share this month's playlist right here.»
It's time for another edition of the content-mangled-into-the-form-of-a-playlist that we amusingly dubbed 'Spotifriday'. We hope you enjoy it. It features the BEST sounds from this week's Singles, News, Reviews, and even a couple of tracks, as per usual, from the ever brilliant and increasingly popular armchair dancefloor column.»
DiS likes to think of Thursday as the day before festivals start or the night most of the best gigs take place in London. Thursday of course has a popular emo band named after it and is yet another day that Bowie has put in a song title. Of course, 'Thursday Afternoon' is one of those wondrous must-listen pieces of magic which Mr Eno put together. Is it better than Music for Airports? We can't decide but it's certainly as lush and lovely to drift off to, especially after the odd adventure that is 'My Sister = My Clock'. »
This week, Drowned In Sound celebrates the scene that allegedly "celebrated itself". Shoegaze. We'll be bringing you commentaries and interview pieces with those who played a part in the movement's initial discourse at the turn of the 1990s and those who are taking the genre into further undiscovered territories almost two decades later.»
