Once again they've delivered an incredible list of names, featuring legends like Kraftwerk (in 3D?!) to DiS favourites including Cat Power, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals, Bloc Party, Efterklang, CocoRosie, Villagers, Mum, Japandroids, Maccabees, Everything Everything, Modest Mouse and Hot Chip. They've also got the makers of some of 2013's recommended DiS albums, such as Daughter, Wave Machines and Hookworms. Then there's the likes of Dylan Moran, Germaine Greer, and spoken word sets from Thurston Moore and Tracey Thorn?! And so much more.»

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. »

We know September's not over, not over, not over yet! However, we have so many things that we're loving at the moment that we thought, instead of putting them all on single pages for you to flick through, we'd do what we have been trialling for the past few months and dump them altogether in one page that you can bookmark and come back to.»

As per previous columns, this is a collection of the best bits that have tumbled into DiS' inbox this week, plus a few things that I spotted spurting out of the waterfall that is my social media streams. For the sake of laziness, some press releases will be copy-pasted, and for the sake of saving your time (YOLO, etc) the commentary will have a brevity pithiness that I hope screams "we let the music do the talking"»

Ooooh, I'm ready for the week-end...a weekend of chatting about magazines in a pop-up shop and then sobbing about a 93rd minute penalty from Italia against Ing-gland. Anyway, you may wish to skip all that and toe-tap and jiggle along to some streaming music (we've got Spotify and a YouTube playlist by Bear in Heaven), some free downloads (the new Cat Power track and a podcast with Johnny Jewel) or gawp at some music videos (including an exclusive interview with Polica), if that sounds good, drag your mouse this way, as DiS' editor has the contents of your monitor and stereo for this weekend sorted... »

It’s hardly a new concept – Band X allowing ‘Song Y’ to be used to soundtrack a television advertisement – but now, more than ever, it seems acts from the margins of popular taste are being exploited – or should that be given a boost? – by marketing men with their ears tuned to the sounds of the underground...»
