Welcome back to a brand new edition of DiS Does Singles. This week: Nine Inch Nails have 'done a Jay-Z' and returned from retirement. Poliça have done a collaboration and hooked up with the bloke from Bon Iver and Hot Chip have done a one-off single that's sensationally good.»
Two DiSsers ventured to the premiere of one of the most anticipated movies if the year. Here they share their thoughts on the film...»
We hatched a plan for Ghosting Season to interview Curtis about the use of music in his films, but it remained just an idea until the band sent a few emails, and a week later, found themselves on the other end of a phone line with documentary maker Adam Curtis.»
This week's content-themed Spotify playlist featuring tracks from Belle & Sebastian, Sufjan Stevens, Esben & The Witch, Efterklang, Magnetic Man and some more.»
DiS was stunned to find our request to chat with Trent Reznor, one of our all-time heroes, was accepted and got on the phone for a chat. Here's what he had to say, with an incredibly thoughtful tone and a surprisingly soft-spoken voice... »
Synth-pop’s man in black talks to us about the NIN collaboration, music so frightening it can give you a heart attack and why The Pleasure Principle is like Wall-E . . .»
Or Sonisphere in Five Minutes»
What with being a bunch of self-absorbed Sassenachs and the press pass being organised a bit last minute, we didn't get around to running Simon Jay Catling's review of T In The Park in any sort of timeframe likely to make anybody involved look professional. Sorry Simon! Sorry Scotland! Please don't hurt us.»
If you’re serious about your heavy music, you’ve been following all the lineup releases already and you’ve started thinking which of the three summer festivals you’ll be attending and while it was relatively simple last year, the addition of Sonisphere to the list just makes the decision that bit more difficult explains Thrash Hits' editor Raziq Rauf.»
Three of DiS’s core operators list ten of their tracks of the year so far - a simple premise, and a simple article for you to have fun listening along to»
Throughout 2007, more and more Western bands - including Sonic Youth and Linkin Park - have been drawn to China, where a live music scene is finally beginning to make an impact on the domination of discos»
It's been pretty miserable at times - heavy, pluvial skies pathetic fallacy for debut all-dayers and long weekenders that have sometimes spluttered rather than flown out of the traps. The weather and the times - to an extent at least - brightened last weekend, with the traditional sign off from music in the sun that is Reading and Leeds. And that, I suppose, is reason enough to break from cynicism just this once. It was a bind, but there were finer times. Time to gather thoughts and lighten brows...»
Four days is a long time in festival terms, and like the sunless days that envelop the north of the country during the winter, it helps if there’s a bottle handy to steel yourself for its lingering embrace.»
Dee-ah wun in dah Øya Festival… Oslo seems like a funny place. I was kind of half-expecting a palatial never-never land spirited away amongst the endless pines, but it looks kind of… ordinary. A bit scruffy-looking, with a predilection for buildings daubed in quirky shades of yellow and pink...»
April is over. Done. Dusted. During the last month some might fine records – albums, or CDs, if you will – have been released. As is sort of regular, here we collect together our pick of the bunch. These are April’s finest releases, as assessed by the ears of the ever-reliable DiS review team...»
Minutes before taking the stage, Trent Reznor – the sole member of Nine Inch Nails, as it were; his band have always been hired hands – sits nursing a bottle of water. Gone are the days of gallons of spirits, drugs and groupies as part of the pre-gig ritual.
