Hello! November has been quite busy hasn't it? Lots of records sneaking out before the year is out... and all the while we've been distracted at DiS HQ trying to work out what our albums of the year will be. Our countdown begins on Monday, but before all that, here's what we/I've been blasting at DiS HQ this month...»
The best of DiS' inbox this week... »
DiS has an exclusive album stream of the new solo album from Interpol's Paul Banks.»
Ever wondered what music the people who post on the DiS boards are into? Us too. We've always thought about doing some sort of poll-of-polls, and then - as is often the way with DiS - a member of the community took it upon themselves to start one. The results of which were revealed on the boards too but right here, right now, we can reveal far more than the top 20.»
We want you're feedback. Also we're migrating our mailing list to a new service, to ensure we have the best email address for you and to ensure no-one is getting our emails that doesn't want them anymore / we're not emailing dead people / that we're not emailing your old Compuserve email address that you haven't checked since back in 2001. If you'd like to get an email from us every six-eight months, with a gentle reminder that we exist and a summary of anything you might have missed, then plonk your email address in this box. »

Interpol have confirmed another London date for their forthcoming European tour, at the end of September. They'll play London's Heaven on September 15, which will kick off the tour. Tickets are priced at £30 standard and a bargain £32.50 if you want to get the album as well. Really, for the extra £2.50 you'd be silly not to. I'd go as far as to say idiotic. »

The Interpol album bandwagon is exceeding in its pace. Last week the release date was put forward and a video unveiled. This week the tracklist has been revealed, as well as a little shot of the cover art [via [Pitchfork](http://pitchfork.com/news/39304-interpol-unveil-cover-art-tracklist/).»
It may be an uncommon tactic, but Interpol's new and fourth album will be self-titled. We were told earlier in the year that the release date for it would be the week of September 13 but that's all changed now. Well, not all changed, but at least put forward by a week so the release date is September 7 in the US. »
You may have noticed a little less news than usual this week. There is very good reason for this and that's because our news editor was off drinking Viking lager on a press junket in Iceland. Here's a little round-up of the bits of 'news' from the web over the past few days:»
