Play This: DiS Editor's Songs of 2011
This mixtape-like selection is a failed attempt to try to sum up the sounds that have throbbed through me while I've worked, walked and woozed off to sleep. This is less of a playlist and more like the confetti of a year in music.»
Introducing... The 12 Days of DiSmas
Before we announce our albums of the year, we thought we'd spend twelve days building up to it with lists and giveaways.»
DiS Premiere: The Horrors remix Lady Gaga's 'Bloody Mary'
Those Southend kraut-goths The Horrors aren't just snobby fans of Can, Bauhaus and Simple Minds, no siree, they've taken their crate-digging hands and reworked Gaga's 'Bloody Mary' into a throbbing beast that's half-Skying, a third Mother-Monster-anthem and whatever percentage is left is the sound of underworldly beings rising up from the mist. Don't take our jumbled word for it, have a listen:»

Listen: Lady GaGa remixed by Wild Beasts
A couple of years ago I was quite desperate for Wild Beasts to cover Shakira's 'She Wolf'. Alas, it didn't happen but the Kendal-originating four-piece have now put their fine hands to work on another pop music project, from Lady GaGa. The track in question is 'Yoü And I' and no, I do not know why the 'u' has an umlaut. A lack of any kind of sense is all I can put it down to. »
Survey says: Streaming Subscription Services like Spotify Are Too Expensive
The other week, Spotify added a few limits to their free service, and boy-oh-boy did the internet get uppity and some new research offers some clues as to why there was a cacophony of "naaah mate, I'm off back to P2P and mediafire and proper free shit, innit!"»

Watch: A message from Lady GaGa to the US Senate
Following on from the infamous meat dress earlier in the week (jokes about meat purses here) Lady GaGa gets on her Gee Gee about the service of of homosexuals in the US military. Fair play to her. We were going to do this as a "Friday Feeling/Friday Fun" but it's not really "fun" as such. Perhaps something more like Friday Freedom. Yeah! »
Joanna Newsom: Lady Gaga = Arty Spice
It wouldn't feel right not writing something about Joanna Newsom every now and then, just like it wouldn't feel right not reading something about Lady Gaga every few days/hours/minutes. Now the two have been neatly combined as the High Priestess of Harp 'went off on one' in a recent interview with The Guardian.»
BBC 6Music won't be re-branded as Radio 2 Extra
Following much speculation about the future of the doomed BBC 6Music radio station, the corporation's Head of Audio and Music, Tim Davie, has said that 6 will not be repackaged as BBC Radio 2 Extra (or Xtra, however you render it...), as some reports had proposed. Whether or not the campaign to save 6 Music thinks this a good or bad thing is not clear. (via The Guardian). Perhaps good. »
Top 5 Videos of the Week: The National, Lady Gaga, Stricken City, Lone Wolf, Phoenix

Micachu + more for Haitian benefit show, plus other charity bits

Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes and Florence up for Brit Awards
Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes, Florence + The Machine, as well as a couple more of 'OUR' acts, have been nominated for a variety of Brit awards, some more surprising than others, in truth.»
Lady GaGa tops last.fm's yearly chart, but who tops the DiS list?
What with all that singles chart hullabaloo going on with X-Factor vs. Rage vs. a few other notable entrants, we thought we'd bring you news of ANOTHER chart, but perhaps one we can relate to a little better this time - the last.fm yearly charts.»
