DiS Staff: #1 Albums of 2012
Hopefully this long list of names and releases gives you a clue about the individuals behind the screens at DiS.

Votes quickly become political, rather than personal and I hate the idea of mob rule. »

So instead, we'll be bringing you a digest of the important goings-on each month in neat mixtape form. This month - Frank Ocean issues a statement on his sexuality, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard goes it alone, Animal Collective take to the radio, Lykke Li leads a Fleetwood Mac love-in and more...»
