On this playlist we've mixed theme tunes from TV shows and songs from horror movie soundtracks with some ghoulishly titled tracks from some of DiS' favourite acts, plus some gothic ridiculousness from Cradle of Filth and found Burroughs reading some Edgar Allan Poe. »
Sunday has various songs written about it and dedicated to it but almost all of them are downbeat dreamy affairs. Strangely Sunday has nowhere near as many songs written about it as Saturday but maybe that's because those who've already written songs about Sunday have pretty much nailed it? Most of this playlist touches on things you might do on a Sunday but it's mostly songs that give me the Sunday feeling. »
DiS likes to end the week with Spotifriday. It's a weekly Spotify playlist which linkedly runs down the best bits from this week on DiS. This is the 11th time we've done it and you simply download the free Spotify software and then click here to listen whilst reading the below stuff or doing whatever you please. »
DiS asked Alessi Laurent-Marke aka Alessi's Ark to pick some of her favourite records from the bulging back-catalogue of prolific producer Mike Mogis. Why Mr Mogis? Because he's the Omaha-based fella who produced her debut album Notes from the Treehouse which is out now. »
DiS's Sean Adams tells his own tale of Glastonbury 2007 - from the backstage to the moshpit and right up to the stars - in three parts. Here, he finds Björk magical, the Monkeys rather muted, and Martha on song...»
It's October first... Happy Birthday to us! And now for an indulgent dose of nostalgia as DiS' founder looks back at previous incarnations of the site»
On August 4 Conor Oberst will release his new self-titled solo album, and as something of a preview DiS has dived into the man's Bright Eyes catalogue.»
Rocking up the crest of their seventh birthday, DiS scribbler Gareth Dobson hacks away at the defences of Castle Wichita to reveal a set of rather contented innards, complete with tales of DFA1979 loss, guitar solos that never finished and why no-one got The Cribs for the first four years...»
Remembered through a haze, of dust, drink and sunshine, this was never going to be the most factual account. But it’s probably the most accurate version of events at the 19th Dour Festival, courtesy of Tom King and Adam Anonymous…»
For a whole week, we barely touched a drop: too expensive, too cold, not a thing like what us Brits are used to. A dry county, Hove might as well have been; not a sip, not a tipple. For a week, teetotal. Lies: we just didn’t eat...»
As the curtain rises seductively on the new album from Bright Eyes, a women's voice informs you that you got the death card but - she says like a science teacher talking about evolution - that can just mean change... Welcome to Cassadaga.
DiS's Sean Adams meets Conor Oberst to talk about the new record and its makers' calming of his formerly wild ways...»
My, you’re patient sorts, dearest DiS faithful. We ran part two of our run down of DiS’s favourite/most inspirational/bestesteva albums almost two weeks ago, and yet you’re still champing at the bit to find out who has, and more importantly who hasn’t, made it into the top twenty of Our 66. Well, the time has come to quit your champing: we’re here, this is the penultimate countdown...»
DiS celebrated 5 years in October 2005. Here's DiS founder Sean's list of favourite records.»
In a reprise of a previous short-lived regular feature, DiS gives you the ten records that aren't necessarily the best, nor the most high-profile, but arguably the LPs which have raised the most eyebrows or sent people limp with disappointment.»
Yeah, so you got the tentative version of a Top 20 at the arse end of 2002 but a couple more votes came in which helped The Streets to win by a virtual mile. Eventually a nice round 50 votes were cast and this allowed Biffy Clyro to sneak in at the expense of Doves. Cheeky. A massive total of 130 different albums we»
There are two unbearable things on the face of this planet. One - Pain, and Two - Hearing people fucking whining about it. For ages. And repeatedly. If arrogant Nebraskan teen (well, whatever, he acts like he’s still 15) Oberst was in a fucking concentration camp, being brutally beaten and tortured then I»
