Music news these days can be kind of impossible to keep up with. It seems to be this constant scream of information, unintelligible by the sheer speed that it shoots by at, often borderline unintelligible in the first place – “what was that thumping past like an Olympic air defence missile about the one out of The Vaccines' twitpics from his holiday in Marbella again?” - and that being the case, DiS recently took the move to step away from news lest we're all sucked into some gaping cyber abyss of rumours, get-there-first reporting and regurgitated press releases.
So instead, we'll be bringing you a digest of the important goings-on each month in neat mixtape form. This month - Frank Ocean issues a statement on his sexuality, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard goes it alone, Animal Collective take to the radio, Lykke Li leads a Fleetwood Mac love-in and more...»

As 2011 groans to a close, our In Photos editor has picked his favourite photos of the year. It isn't so much a numerical list, more a visual sample of some of the great shots we've run last year. And once you make it to the bottom, you'll see a little competition.»

DiS gets a lot of great videos in our inbox but we tend to cherry-pick the best ones and run them in their own 'news' 'story' and expect you to click around like some sort of ad-revenue-generating node in our network. Well not today, we don't want to waste your time listening to this lushness. Just don't call it a three-way... »

Earlier in the month we alerted you to Beck's upcoming Record Club which featured the all-star cast of Liars, St. Vincent and Os Mutantes. Sure, we weren't certain - or had any idea - what tracks they were going to cover, but we waited with baited breath. We then found out it was going to be INXS. »

We need not tell you what we think of St. Vincent - we probably did it enough last year. Her solo work as well as various collaborations with the great and the good of the indie world never seem to be anything less than astounding. Likewise, the quality of her videos remains sky high, with two from Actor doing the business - 'Actor Out Of Work' and 'Marrow'.»
