2006 has been a year that’s lived up to and exceeded all expectations. With enough fantastic albums to treble the length of my Albums of the Year list, and a gig list long enough to frighten even the hardiest tour manager, I’ve seen plenty of goodness this year. Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»

Who would have thought that DiS would descend upon Brighton's music industry showcase extravaganza in such fashion. Without a soul in sight waiting to 'network' with a single one of our merry shambles of a crew, we set to work on actually seeing bands. Despite the cruel, bitter wind that insisted on hurtling toward us with near-freezing drizzle as its freight, we actually saw some bands. My word, we saw some rather spectacular bands at that...»
