In Depth by Christian Cottingham
It’s been three years since the last time I met Saul Williams, soaked through with sweat and rain on Brighton’s seafront shortly after his 2008 Great Escape performance at the tiny Volks. On that occasion I barely lasted a minute before my thoughts scattered in fright and I bid an embarrassed farewell: today we have somewhat longer. Well, only five minutes officially, but it’s nearly three times that before Williams pauses for breath, the beer merely warming in his hand as he flits between topics, cadence accelerating as he fires off points like artillery on music, film, politics and Lady Gaga. And, of course, his own new album Volcanic Sunlight, released in May in France and the US but yet to receive a date here. »

Rocking up the crest of their seventh birthday, DiS scribbler Gareth Dobson hacks away at the defences of Castle Wichita to reveal a set of rather contented innards, complete with tales of DFA1979 loss, guitar solos that never finished and why no-one got The Cribs for the first four years...»

My, you’re patient sorts, dearest DiS faithful. We ran part two of our run down of DiS’s favourite/most inspirational/bestesteva albums almost two weeks ago, and yet you’re still champing at the bit to find out who has, and more importantly who hasn’t, made it into the top twenty of Our 66. Well, the time has come to quit your champing: we’re here, this is the penultimate countdown...»
