This Week's Singles: 02/07/12 Dirty Projectors, TEMPA T, Field Music, Scuba, Rudi Zygadlo
Single of the Week! Dirty Projectors - ‘Gun Has No Trigger’ (Domino) The handsomest band in Christendom have written a song which sounds like a warning, and it is the kind of song men ruined by witchy women sing to other chaps, to put them o»
This Week's Singles: 20/02/12 Field Music, Beth Jeans Houghton, Gemma Ray, New Look
It seems to me that late February is when singles start to get really interesting. And all those smart (or fortunate) enough to have avoided the inanity of new year tip lists pop up their heads, sleepy eyes washed of their clag. Hooray for nearly-Spring, if it results in a week as choice as this one.»
"We do struggle with the idea of 'is what we do worthwhile?'” -DiS meets Field Music

Glastonbury (Saturday): The DiS Review
Glastonbury Part 3: Saturday Much like Gorillaz', my Friday night was a bit of a squib, passed out as I was by 2am, feet poking out my tent. The weather’s playing hardball today and some acts are preferred by dint of them playing in the shade - look re»
This Week's Singles - 7/6/2010: Uffie, Here We Go Magic, Elbow
Not so rad news everyone: Wendy Roby is away. This leaves me, the site's founder, the unenviable task of filling our most popular columnist's Reebok hi-tops and writing about new releases by the likes of Uffie & Pharell Williams, Here We Go Magic, Elbow, Ash and more... »
Evolution Weekender, 30th and 31st May 2010
So, the pubeless posse had a riot at this year's Evolution Weekender. And who can blame them? With a line-up that featured Paolo Nutini, Ellie Goulding and Example it's no surprise that every underage hipster from Berwick to Bradford descended on the Newc»

2010 Preview: the return of Field Music
Sunderland's much-loved art poppers Field Music are officially back from their nearly-three-year hiatus. The brothers Brewis are currently appearing in a venue near you and have a new double album - Field Music (Measure) - slated for release early next year on Memphis Industries. We phoned David from the band and he told us why he feels the time is right to come back, why he is sick of being labelled post-punk and why he is prone to ripping off Peter Gabriel. »

The Weekly DiScussion: our alternative Mercury list...
So the Mercury nominations for this year aren’t so bad, a couple of proper WTF examples aside (The View? Really? Come on…). However good this year’s nominations generally are, though, we at DiS got the old grey matter burning away to compile an alternative list of twelve that could have made the cut...»

A Month In Records: January 2007
January was cold. But for a few days it wasn’t, and we all feared London would flood when the rising sea level overpowered the wonder of modern technology that is the Thames Barrier. Then it got colder, still, and we remembered that The Netherlands will drown way before us. But all this talk of evolving into a race of webbed-limbed freaks is totally off the subject at hand, which is January’s finest long-play releases...»
A Month in Records: April 2006
