Hey there - to round off our 2010 preview week, here is a list of 'other stuff' we're looking forward to. It would be dead neighbourly to post your own hopes, dreams, fears and wild speculations below.

Anyway, enjoy!»

Latitude has swiftly become a deep-rooted fixture on an ever expanding festival circuit, offering weary Glastonbury revellers an opportunity to recharge under the Suffolk sun and various meeejia folks the chance to check out a series of fine 'adult-orientated' headliners. DiS dispatched a handful of critical sorts to Henham Park, in Southwold, and asked them to select their personal standouts and new DiScoveries...»
Rust-ridden to their dockings, five imperious coal excavators dominate Gräfenhainichen’s bleak landscape; 100 foot high industrial behemoths that hark back to the decline this East German area felt after the wall fell...»

Ontario native Owen Pallett – sometime Arcade Fire member and previous collaborator with The Hidden Cameras and Jim Guthrie – is rather preoccupied with his own Final Fantasy project nowadays.
