This Week's Singles: 03/08/2009
I love it when this happens. For this week is a genuinely mixed-up, schizophrenic bag of sevens that has something to recommend almost every genre you can think of. In the end I am plumping for the ambition and modernity of the caffeinated, fuck-up funk of Debruit, because he is new. But quite honestly there are at least three standout winners here.»
Green Man 2007 - the DiS review
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...»
Singles Round-up (14/04/2008)

The Weekly DiScussion: anything good on the radio this Christmas?
It's that time of year. DiS plunges its fearless critical balls into the icy waters of the festive singles glut, and emerges full of the joys of the season. Ish. Honestly, what would the baby Jesus think of some of this crap? Shaun The Sheep? Eeek»
Portishead's Nightmare Before Christmas: the DiS review
In Minehead for the third time this year, DiS is freezing cold, fighting against an evil wind, a bitter breeze, to get to ATP on time. The clock's ticking... through the doors, into the Skyline, eyes front. What? The Horrors? Not even the biggest Portishead fan saw that coming»
Malcolm Middleton: a Scotsman came travelling (up the charts)
Who’d have ever thought it: an ex-Arab Strapper in contention for the Christmas number one. DiS catches up with Malcolm Middleton to discuss his new 'We're All Going To Die' single, certainly the most depressing release of this festive season»
The Camden Crawl starts here: DiS preview
The Camden Crawl is this week, on Thursday April 19 and Friday April 20 to be exact. Lots of bands, both large of profile and large of hype, will descend upon north London’s dirtiest streets to play rock music for you, the people with tickets. Tickets ripe for exchanging for wristbands. Wristbands you’ll use to get into lots of different clubs and pubs and bars. Clubs and pubs and bars which are playing host to bands. Et cetera...»
