Singles for wallowing, singles for solace, divvy singles - just for larks - and singles that have the frisk quite bad. It's Drowned in Sound's Top Singles of 2011! »
Single of the Week! Colin Stetson - ‘Those Who Didn’t Run’ (Ltd 10” on Constellation) I was always told the saxophone was the hardest instrument, which may be true. But I think it is more likely that this was said to we young, eager musicia»
Spotifriday ahoy!»

This week's selection really is a bit marvellous, from the giddily incorrigible Physical Forms to the sheer flipping beauty of La Sera. Thanks very much music, you are quite good. »

Concluding our week of Radiohead-related content, here's another first-hand account of touring with the band, this time from Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier. --- Somehow I'd been convinced by people who don't know Radiohead that they'd be pretentious and »
The cream really did rise to the top last month. These five records stood head and shoulders above the rest of the stuff reviewed by DiS.»

Deerhoof's beauty lies in their ability to try something new at every turn, as they tell DiS: People aren’t expecting anything specific from us. We could do absolutely anything»
This week's DiScussion – if the title isn't too much of a giveaway – focuses on songs to while away off-sick-with-a-cold time. After all, something has to fill the space ‘tween Neighbours and Neighbours»
Reykjavik is odd. It sits on top of the world in many respects: geography for one thing, as well as fashion, art and music. On the other hand, this town is bonkers. DiS's Rob Webb, Shain Shapiro and Gary Wolstenholme brave the cold, and booze prices, for the annual Airwaves festival»
Britain - London, anyway - might be enjoying some autumnal sunshine right now, but spare a thought for DiS’s Rob Webb, Gary Wolstenholme and Shain Shapiro as they board a plane for the dark and icy surroundings of Reykjavik for the annual Iceland Airwaves festival. Think of them, huddled, freezing… And read our blog...»
Every year is made up of twelve months. This, any modern Roman Calendar will tell you. What said flap of paper full of boxes and reminders to call mum and book a visit to the dentist will also tell you is that every month is made up of four or five Mondays.

DiS reports back from the warzone...»
So here we are, fellow travellers through the last six years of DiS’s favourite sounds: part two of Our 66. Believe you me, this section – which collects together the albums we’ve placed at numbers 44 to 21 – was no easier to assemble than the preceding chapter (click here if you’re yet to look over our selections from 66 to 45). In fact, we’ve suffered more headaches over the last few weeks, because of this undertaking alone, than at any other time in our lives. Perhaps, anyway: we do enjoy the odd pint...»
"Shut up!" hollers a voice from the front of the crowd, perfectly vocalising the annoyance of a few hundred Deerhoof fans trying to enjoy a typically peculiar set of skewed pop over a din of persistent bar-side chatter.
