ATP Jeff Mangum: the DiS review

In Depth by Els

Two weeks ago Jeff Mangum's rescheduled ATP finally took place. And we had reviewers there and everything - but in tribute to the three month delay of the festival, we had a slight delay on the write up, which is here with you now, at last, sorry. »

This Week's Singles: 18/07/11 Wilco, PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsom, Belle & Sebastian

In Depth by Wendy Roby

Single of the Week! Wilco - ‘I Might’ (DBPM / ANTI) I am not a Wilco superfan, but I count ‘Hell Is Chrome’ amongst one of my favourite favourites, it has exploding piano that sounds like a heavily medicated Ben Folds, and even its super wa»

10 Years of singer-songwriters: The Changing of the Guards

In Depth by Steve_Dunne

They don't make 'em like they used to, do they? Cars, films, local beat bobbies - certainly not singer-songwriters. That was my initial thought when I began to look back upon some of the genre's chief exponents over the past ten years. And it troubles me. subbed and ready to roll...»

Green Man Festival 2010: the DiS review

In Depth by Rob Webb

You’ll already know by now that Green Man was pretty darn wet this year, so let’s not mention that too much. Or the fact DiS’s tent was unable to withstand the deluge. Despite the inclement conditions, the music was really good - at times, great - and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed. That’s all you want from a festival, really. Of course, the naysayers say it’s too sedate and middle class (go to Leeds Festival, then), and that the lineup this year played it too safe (because of Mumford & Sons and Doves? Don’t watch them, then) but, frankly, they probably didn’t lose their minds at Factory Floor on the Saturday night. We did, and thus we win.»

Green Man 2007 - the DiS review

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

From the archive... There’s something beautiful about the Green Man Festival, stowed away as it is on a Welsh hillside, children and soap bubbles flitting everywhere as sheep wander the fields behind the main stage. It also has the best festival food, bar none...»

The Rest is Noise, Alex Ross

The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the 20th Century by Alex Ross (Book Review)

In Depth by Alexander Tudor

DiS readers might want to focus on the last 80 pages of The Rest Is Noise, which explores Minimalism (as Classicists refer to it), and basically sees instrument-builder Harry Partsch invent Tom Waits; gamelan-enthusiast Henry Cowell [sic] invent Timbaland; John Cage & Terry Riley invent post-rock; Steve Reich & Phillip Glass invent electronica and most sequencer-based music that isn’t 19th century barrelhouse music played on synths.»

ATP Weekend One: The Dirty Three: the DiS diary...

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

DrownedinSound.com went to All Tomorrow’s Parties’ The Dirty Three-curated weekender at the end of April. We arrived full of excitement, bubbling like freshly poured pints of £3-a-pop lager. Then we drank too many £3-a-pop lagers and fell over the garden furniture outside our chalet. Loudly. And annoyed our neighbour. Sorry...»

Colin Roberts: My musical moments of 2006

In Depth by Colin Roberts

2006 has - every now and then - leaped up and bit me in the ear. Of course, I mean this in the most pleasurable way possible. Like the first time 'Bohemian Rhapsody' went into the rock-out (actually, every time that song metamorphoses is just gets me going) or how 'Idioteque' becomes an all-consuming powerhouse of glory and you can listen to it more than 600 times a day and it still blows your head off...»

A Review of 2006: DiS is what it's all about, yo

In Depth by Raziq Rauf

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...»

A Month In Records: November 2006

In Depth by Mike Diver

Time, dear friends, is ticking away; it feels like only yesterday that DiS was chomping on Easter Eggs, but Christmas is only days away. Terrifying, isn’t it? Us we-haven’t-shopped-yet sorts certainly think so. But November's records: there were some, some good ones, and here are some of those some...»

While at ATP this May, something struck us: we’re all off having totally different festival experiences, so why try to amalgamate when we can serve a selection of dishes? Which is what we’ve done...»
