Stack chats with 'SUP magazine about Independent Publishing, Retromania and more
Ah, that weird week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. It's a week when DiS likes to kick back and read, and we thought it'd be a good chance for you (and us too) to catch up on some of the best bits of writing from this year. But it's the holidays, and we're feeling mega-lazy, so we've let Steve from Stack Magazines - a brilliant magazine subscription service that sends you a different magazine each month - takeover the site. This week, you can read the fruits of his chats with the editors of some of his (and our!) favourite music magazines.

Spotifriday #42 - This Week on DiS as a playlist
The fourty-second Spotify playlist is a little like the fourty-second President of the USA in that it's a bit of a dark horse. And is quite long.
