DiS' founder and current editor Sean Adams compiles a playlist of songs that could be heard in the year 2000 (a rough theme we've set for you to build a Spotifriday playlist around - more details here) when this very website was in its embryonic stages. First, a bit of prologue...»
Often overlooked due to her later move toward Memphis soul, and unhelpfully labelled “lo-fi” due to contemporary trends, Chan Marshall’s early releases (prior to 1998’s MoonPix) may best be considered slowcore, and although they’re a tough listen, they deserve a re-appraisal.»

DrownedinSound.com went to All Tomorrow’s Parties’ The Dirty Three-curated weekender at the end of April. We arrived full of excitement, bubbling like freshly poured pints of £3-a-pop lager.

Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»
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...»
