And while it was taybly amusing watching hoodied hoodlums trying not to miss any notes of Bloc Party's 'Helicopter' on a kicked-in game of Guitar Hero in Caesar's Fun Palace (it is like the one in Vegas, only funner) - mostly, I had Cloud Control and dEbruit for my arcade soundtrack. »

This Week's Singles: 07/09/2009

T In The Park: The (slightly delayed) DiS review
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.
