Hello and welcome to another edition of your favourite singles column on Drowned In Sound. It's the week after Record Store Day, which means I hope you got that David Bowie vinyl you were after and the supply of brand new singles is a little depleted.
The upshot of this is that there was room to squeeze in a cheeky Phoenix remix and Jessie Ware's cover of a 90s R&B anthem. That's in addition to already brilliant tracks by Classixx, Daughter, Dutch Uncles and The Pastels. Also, will.i.am's Justin Bieber collaboration is revealed to be pure woe.»

Hello and welcome to a brand spanking new edition of DiS Does Singles. It's been a busy seven days for track releases with Jessie Ware, The National, Bibio and several significant others all vying for 'Single Of The Week' status. A word of warning about the Cat Power video: have a pack of Kleenex to hand before pressing play. It will slay you.»

Single of the Week!
Everything Everything - ‘Cough Cough’ (Columbia)
Forced to choose a concept whose importance supercedes all others when it comes to the creation of pop music, I would definitely settle upon 'effort'. I mean, I could care»

It's DiS Does Pop's very first birthday and we decided to celebrate by interviewing three of our favourite popstars: Marina and the Diamonds, Jessie Ware and Ruby Goe. We chatted about why Fiona Apple can’t cheer up a bit, the perils of living around crack addicts and what makes a good knuckleduster. It’s pop but not as you know it...»

Hello, and thanks for tuning into the eighth edition of DiS Does Pop. The pop column which judges Cheryl Cole on a purely musical basis, only to be pissed off with yet another shite solo album. This month we were reading Simon Reynold's Retromania and thought, 'There's far too much here on Throbbing Gristle and far too little on Take That'. So we decided to investigate the wave of pop nostalgia that has arguably reached its peak in 2012.»
