This Week's Singles: 18/10/10
This week we have more bands whose singles are really hard to find, they are not smeared liberally over Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Vimeo or any other popular musical delivery system you might care to create and then staff with young men in too-tight denims. Now, either Try Before You Buy is coming to an end, or bands' peoples are just a bit lax. Me, I make no comment about this fact, I merely present it for the benefit of the reader. Also, it is a shame there are no clarinets on any of this week's sevens, because I have just learnt 30s jivespeak for this very instrument. The word you want is 'gobstick'. Use it well.»

Sorry Simon! Sorry Scotland! Please don't hurt us.»
Glastonbury 2009: DiS briefly shuts up, bands have their say
As you're doubtless getting bored/angry with the reams of subjective blather DiS has been throwing up over the UK's flagship festival, our mini Glastonbury preview week today hands the metaphorical mic to a selection of people who, er, know how to use a real one. All performing at the festival this year, Maximo Park's Paul Smith, Fucked Up's Damian Abraham, Emmy The Great and Broken Records' Ian Turnbull have all gallantly turned their little grey cells to pondering the meaning of the modern Glastonbury Festival.»
